When this non-empirical research was embarked upon there was no noticeable evidence to explicitly highlight that there is a meaningful understanding of the various challenges and obstacles that children face in inclusive education. Similarly, no evidence made the connection between inclusive education, listening, and advocacy. There is a gap due to the paucity of information and this research seeks to fill it. This author firmly believes that listening and advocacy are two major elements that enable and foster inclusion. Too often when policies are implemented those who are affected are not consulted. Educators and policymakers must pay more attention to the perspectives of children because they are quite capable of presenting their issues. In this way, inclusive education will be meaningful and cater to those who need it. This research analyzed and summarized recent published literature on the inclusion of children and the fieldwork is not novel. It is interesting to state, however, that research undoubtedly noted that there is a dearth of information that focuses on the various challenges that children encounter in inclusive education. It is crucial that everyone, especially professionals and policymakers, pay particular attention to the importance of inclusion. They also need to be cognizant of the experiences of these children and the role that advocacy plays, especially when they implement policies that relate to their growth and development.</p> Gabriel Julien Copyright (c) 2024 2024-03-19 2024-03-19 6 1 1 10 10.55214/26410230.v6i1.801 https://learning-gate.com/index.php/2641-0230/article/view/846 <p>Visual impairments present significant obstacles for students in their everyday lives, particularly in academic settings. The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has only heightened the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities. However, instructors have been using a variety of teaching methods, both in-person and online, to better support visually impaired students. These approaches have yielded positive impacts on students' social, physiological, and educational development. Nevertheless, there are also drawbacks associated with both methods, which this study seeks to explore and overcome. The researchers conducted this research during the second semester of the 2022/2023 academic year in Hebron University. In order to achieve the aims of the study, the researchers utilized qualitative techniques such as WhatsApp interviews to gather comprehensive data. They collected the data from six participants who voluntarily accepted to participate in the interviews. The study found that students enjoyed several advantages of online learning, such as easy access to course materials and effective communication with their instructors. However, they also encountered several challenges such as lack of support from the government, inadequate training for teachers, and insufficient knowledge about their rights as online learners. The researchers attempted to address the underlying causes of these issues. Based on the findings, the researchers proposed potential solutions to effectively address these issues and enhance the learning experience for visually impaired students.</p> Ghadeer Abdul Ghani Abu Dawud Mohammed Farrah Copyright (c) 2024 2024-03-29 2024-03-29 6 1 11 19 10.55214/26410230.v6i1.846
