    Students with social, emotional, behavioural and with learning disabilities often experience low levels of social participation or social exclusion in inclusive education. To mitigate the consequences of social exclusion (e.g., depression), it is essential to promote their social participation. To this end, we designed and implemented FRIEND‐SHIP, a six‐week social–emotional learning (SEL) intervention aimed at fostering social participation amon…

Accordingly, the current study assessed peer judgments and attitudes towards this program as well as…

  • Learning in segregated settings

    Open Access•Nazime Öztürk, Flora Woltran et al.•ARTICLE•Language and Education•2025

    Policy translations shape school structures and practices that can affect learning experiences. Examining the day-to-day effects of policies in practice from students’ perspectives is crucial, as it provides often overlooked viewpoints and helps to paint a more complete picture of classroom and school life. This study provides a context-sensitive stance to inclusionary and exclusionary processes since students are not mere passive ‘policy receive…

In the context of inclusive education, friendship can be considered as on…
