ROLE OF HOME HEALTH IN INCLUSIVE TEACHING AND LEARNING

Inclusive education is a schooling strategy in which children with a variety of disabilities and learning needs attend classrooms alongside non-disabled and normally developing peers. Students who require additional supports and services spend the majority of their time alongside their non-disabled peers rather than in separate classrooms or schools in an inclusive setting. Professional training, collegial collaboration, and a curriculum that can easily be adapted to physical activity and sports participation for individuals with disabilities define inclusive PE, according to a literature review on inclusion in PE. For children to be engaged and socially successful in PE, learning activities that foster collaboration and eliminate exclusionary competitive games are critical. In inclusive PE classrooms, cooperative learning, which refers to teaching approaches in which students work together in small groups to learn and help others learn, has been successfully introduced. For this study a total of 75 Sport and Physical Activity students from two colleges, ADAPT Mumbai and Muktangan, participated in the study. The data was processed using the AQUAD 7 software. The application AQUAD was used to analyze the qualitative data. AQUAD, a programme created by Huber and Gürtler, was chosen because of its capacity to add new categories to participants' narratives as needed. The questions were based on research on how to improve metacognitive activity, were tailored to the activities, and were related to students' usage of metacognitive methods (planning, monitoring, evaluation, reflection). In conclusion, we can say that while the data revealed that students had positive impressions of teachers, one of the most concerning findings was that students placed a low importance on socializing during physical activity. This is important to remember, because self-regulation in PE is equally influenced by interpersonal relationships. This teaching style produces a learning atmosphere that allows students to reflect on their own understanding, which is a major goal of the educational process, as well as to have fun, which is an important factor in students' participation in physical activities.
