ABSTRACT

This paper aims at analyze the current state of inclusive education literacy among education students from non-special education majors within the context of inclusive education, using universities in Jinan as a case study, and to explore effective pathways to enhance their literacy. The article first emphasizes the importance of special education and discusses the challenges faced by education students from non-special education majors in inclusive education. The study employed questionnaire surveys and interviews as research methods. Findings revealed that the majority of education students have a moderate level of understanding and mastery of inclusive education, yet there are deficiencies in certain areas, such as knowledge and skills in special education. Moreover, there is a significant positive correlation between inclusive education literacy and attitudes towards inclusive education, and inclusive education literacy can significantly predict attitudes towards inclusive education. The study proposes a series of strategies to enhance the inclusive education literacy of prospective educators, including curriculum design, theoretical learning, practical internships, emotional shaping, and technical training. These findings have guiding significance for educational practitioners and policymakers and provide new directions for future research. Ultimately, the study underscores the importance of enhancing the inclusive education literacy of non-specialized education majors for achieving the goals of inclusive education, improving the well-being of students with special educational needs, and promoting educational equity.
