Examining Required Special Education Coursework for Middle School Science Teachers: A Content Analysis of Course Descriptions
Overview & Synopsis
The United States has seen an increase focus in science education at the same time that more students with disabilities (SWDs) are educated in a general education classroom. Because of this, science teachers must know how to implement best practices of working with SWDs. However, many science teachers report they do not feel prepared for this. This study explored required special education courses that middle school science pre-service teachers are required to take in the state of Tennessee. Overall, the majority of universities required only one course in special education. Themes of course descriptions and future directions are discussed.
