Abstract:
Objective To construct a competency-based and functioning-oriented training curriculum system for inclusive education teachers in primary and secondary schools based on World Health Organization International Classification of Functioning,Disability and Health(ICF)and rehabilitation competency framework(RCF).Methods Based on the policy documents of inclusive education from United Nations Educational,Scientific and Cultur-al Organization and the European Union,and aligning with China's national policies such as the 14th Five-Year Plan for Special Education Development and Improvement,this study systematically analyzed the core competen-cies required for primary and secondary inclusive education teachers using ICF and RCF,and developed a compe-tency-based and functioning-oriented training curriculum system.Results The core competencies for primary and secondary school teachers encompassed four dimensions under the con-text of inclusive education.In the dimension of professional identity and ethics,teachers needed to establish in-clusive education values and be able to use ICF to comprehensively understand students'functioning perfor-mance and developmental needs.In the dimension of inclusive teaching and support practices,it was emphasized the ability for inclusive instructional design based on functioning assessment,including applying universal design for learning,creating barrier-free learning environments and implementing multiple assessments.In the dimen-sion of collaboration and communication,it was needed to build home-school-community support networks and possess communication skills for interprofessional teamwork.In the dimension of continuous reflection and pro-fessional development,it was focused on teachers'continuous learning and professional growth.A curriculum system comprising four major modules including concepts and foundations,core skills for teaching and support,collaboration and expansion,and practical reflection and research were constructed based on this competency model.Conclusion Based on ICF and RCF,a competency-based and functioning-oriented training curriculum system has been established,providing a theoretical framework and practical pathway for improving the quality of inclusive edu-cation teachers in China.
