| Abstract | Efforts to reform Philippine education include the inclusion of students with disabilities in general education settings. This study explored how the cooperating teachers mentored student teachers in handling learners with disabilities, and gifted and talented learners (LDGTL) in regular classrooms during their practice teaching. The student-teacher participants were from a Teacher Education Institution in Manila and were mentored by the cooperating teacher participants of three public schools in the National Capital Region. A TRAINing model for beginning teachers was developed through single-case study approach that employed coding, within-case analysis, and cross-case analysis. The internship model highlighted themes that captured the concepts and practice of inclusive education and mentoring in the course of the practice teaching, Challenges, processes and success indicators in mentoring, in the context of inclusive education were also revealed. The study revealed a mismatch in the conceptualization and practice of inclusive education where mentors inadvertently limit the participation and achievement of LDGTL. Mentors were also found to be unequipped in handling inclusion in the regular classroom and this was evidenced by the inefficiency of their mentees, thus, mentoring was not enough to prepare student teachers for inclusion. The developed internship model was recommended as baseline information for policy makers and education leaders in strengthening the capacity of both pre-service and in-service teachers towards the implementation of inclusive education. |
