This study aimed to investigate whether the introduction to special education courses offered by various teacher education institutions meet the needs of general education pre-service teachers for implementing inclusive education in elementary and secondary education. The researcher, through an online search, collected 100 syllabi designed for these teachers, all for the 111 academic year. Then, a content analysis was conducted on the instructors' backgrounds, course introductions, objectives, content, teaching activities, and assessment methods. Additionally, six instructors were randomly selected and interviewed to gather their teaching philosophies and deeper understanding of their course designs. The results showed that the course focused more on several points, such as professional knowledge in special education; practical experiences mainly relied on sharing experiences with little hands-on practice; professional engagement lacked collaboration with elementary and secondary schools; and with a tendency to view students' needs through a disability lens. Regardless of the theoretical foundation, professional knowledge, practical experiences, and professional engagement, these 100 courses appear insufficient to support pre-service teachers in implementing inclusive education. |
