This unit reviews research into the effective teaching of language, reading, maths and spelling to children with special needs in inclusive and special education settings. Direct Instruction is an approach to teaching based on instructivist principles that makes few assumptions about the learner. Rather, educators adopting an instructivist approach teach academic, behaviour and social skills according to analysis of the particular task or skill. This unit also focuses on techniques used to modify the curriculum to cater for the learning needs of children with learning disabilities or learning difficulties in regular schools. A strong emphasis is placed on Direct Instruction techniques and students are given the opportunity to trial instructivist methods with children and adolescents during the practical component of this unit. Students will critique the literature through a range of theoretical perspectives and research and apply strategies for classroom implementation.
