Reflection Paper No. 13 the exceptionalities
I learned from our discussion :”Learners with
exceptionalities” , exceptional learners those persons who are different in
some way from the “normal” or “average” these include those with special needs
related to cognitive abilities, behavior, social functioning, physical/sensory
impairments, emotional disturbances and giftedness. Children who cannot proceeds
directly information or remember. All
this kind of disabilities mental, emotional and physical disabilities needs
deeper understandings. We differentiate the disability and handicap. Disability
means the condition of being unable to perform as a consequence of physical or
mental unfitness while handicap means a degree of disadvantage is dependent
made by both the person and his environment. According to Lev Vygotsky in his
theory about the socio-cultural, learners should needs scaffolding for their
learning capabilities especially they have defects in mental, emotional and
physical. Parents and teachers should give great contributions to develop well
their learning structures even they have disabilities. Dr. Olga shared her
experiences when she was assigned in Santa Ana National High School Tagoloan,
Misamis Oriental as a principal; during her first day as a principal she made
an order that all motorcycles should be parked at designated areas. She noticed
that there is one motorcycle every morning get inside the school campus. But
she found out that the child is carried by his father getting inside the
classroom because he has a physical deformity.
I realize that people with disabilities is not a hindrance
to reach an education. These kinds of persons need our supports and compassion.
Teachers should building good relationship between them. There are some people
with disabilities that are successful in their field with the supports of their
parents and relatives.
When I’m become a teacher someday I will give courage and
positive insight to them so that they will continue their ambition whatever
happen because this is the only way they can get better future in spite their disabilities.
