Summary: | The purpose of the research was to explore the experiences of educators regarding the
training for the implementation of inclusive education in a Full Service school. A qualitative
research design was chosen, using a case study. Three methods of gathering data were
used, namely individual interviews, focus group interviews and observations. The study was
conducted in a primary schools in the North West province that was converted into a fullservice
school in 2008. The findings indicated that educators demonstrated
misunderstanding of the Screening, Identification, Assessment and Support strategy. The
misunderstanding can be ascribed to the kind of training educators received. The training
lacked in–depth content and practical demonstration. Recommendations on the content and
the dynamics of the training process are made. The overarching recommendation on the
dynamics of the training indicated that the training should be revisited for improved methods
of training. === Thesis (M.Sc. (Environmental Science))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2011.
