Education fosters inclusion : How discourses on "Social and Political Education" school textbooks promote inclusive education during preadolescence and early adolescence in the greek educational context

Sammanfattning: Over the last decades inclusive education has emerged as the most effective, transformative way to promote and ensure equitable quality education for all and is totally attuned to the 2030 United Nations Agenda for Sustainable Development. This thesis aims to conduct research on how inclusive education in greek educational context is promoted through the school subject of "Social and Political Education" with the lens on discourses focusing on ages eleven to fifteen (11-15), during preadolescence and early adolescence. As a method I will use Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) on "Social and Political Education" school textbooks in primary and secondary level following Norman Fairclough’s approach in order to examine whether discursive representations spread throughout these textbooks illuminate and foster the values of inclusion in school material.
