Part VII: Far East

SPECIAL EDUCATION TODAY IN CHINA Mian Wang and Yajing Feng

ABSTRACT Special education in China has lagged behind regular education for many years, however, the past few decades, the government has made considerable efforts to develop and improve the special education system. While the citizens of China have had a generic moral interest in disability since ancient times, the development of special education schools did not occur until American and European missionaries started schools for the visually and hearing impaired in the 19th century. The next major influence in the development of the special education system occurred with China’s Cultural Revolution in 1978. Interestingly, there is not any exclusive legislation on special education but in the 1980s, the government started Learning in Regular Classrooms (LRC), which is China’s version of inclusion. LRC has progressed rapidly the past two decades; however, the quality of instruction is low due to a lack of specialists, a shortage of personnel, inadequate funding, and limited technology as well as other barriers that are delineated in the chapter. The chapter emphasizes the government’s recent efforts in in-service teacher training, the preparation of preservice teachers, working with families, developing community rehabilitation training programs, and implementing Special Education International Perspectives: Practices Across the Globe Advances in Special Education, Volume 28, 663 À 688 Copyright r 2014 by Emerald Group Publishing Limited All rights of reproduction in any form reserved ISSN: 0270-4013/doi:10.1108/S0270-401320140000028030 663Rotatori, Anthony F., Bakken , Jeffrey P., and Obiakor, Festus, eds.

Tips for entering search terms:

Use quotes around a string of words to find that exact string(e.g., “Fortune 500 companies”)

PRINTING AND DOWNLOADING

Print or download “by chapter” doesn’t work in the following situations:

If the chapter is longer than the number of print/download pages you’re allowed, and you try to print/download the chapter, you’ll get an error.

If the book has Parts or Sections or Volumes (e.g., Part I, Part II or Section A, Section B or Volume 1, Volume 2), then trying to print/download chapters within those Parts/Sections/Volumes will actually try to print/download THE ENTIRE PART OR SECTION OR VOLUME – not just the one chapter within that Part or Section or Volume.  And a Part or Section or Volume is almost always longer than the pages you’re allowed.

In these cases, simply print the desired page range (making sure it is less than or equal to the number of pages you’re allowed).

To do this, fill in the “Pages from” and “to” values. E.g. Page 250-300

COPY AND PRINT LIMITS

The copy and print limits on most ebrary books are based on the following percentage of the number of pages in the book.

Online Allowances (per book, per user session) o Copy = 15%

Copying multiple selections from a page counts as one copy

o Print = 30%

Print to paper or print to PDF (aka chapter download)

o Copy = 10%

o Print = 10%
