The risk of “school dropout” of the students classified in the Special Needs Education area and the inclusive strategy of the Feuerstein method. One experience in the upper secondary school

Abstract

In the European context, schools have the task to offer teaching not only
dedicated to the transmission of disciplinary knowledge, but also oriented
to the integral formation of the person, in the dimension of the “Lifelong
learning”. In this perspective are also included students classified in the
Special Needs Education area, which more than others are at risk of ‘school
dropout’. The pedagogy of mediation and the Feuerstein method are an asset
to the school to promote teaching and educational action in the direction
of inclusiveness and extended training for life. Many schools have
started some paths based on this methodology to counter concretely the
“scourge” of early school dropout.
