This paper aims to explore the predicament and difficulties of the inclusive early childhood education based on the findings and comments from previous empirical studies on this issue, which is expected to provide practical suggestions to the policy makers as well as the preschool teachers. The findings of this study are fourfold. First, limited special education resources, weak professional expertise, poor classroom instruction, and inadequate transitional counseling render it difficult and challenging to implement the inclusive early childhood education. Thus, the researchers suggest that the much more administrative supports, such as providing more resources and sufficient professional training, should be given to preschool teachers working in the special education. In addition, the establishment of notification of the resettlement process is urgently needed. Second, parents should take a more positive attitude toward the special children to enhance the possibility of the successful inclusive early childhood education. Third, teachers should provide special children with more repeated practices and create a friendly environment and atmosphere where special children could interact with each other. Fourth, teachers could adopt the cooperative teaching technique and co-teach with special education experts, in which the special children could greatly benefit from the instruction and effectively adjust to school life and on top of that teachers’ stress could also be significantly reduced. |
