The Good Inclusion Game: Do We Need Teams?
The Good Inclusion Game: Do We Need Teams?

Summary/Abstract: As inclusive education becomes more common, the range of diverse needs and abilities within the mainstream classroom is expanding. In addition to helping all students achieve academic excellence, teachers are expected to support students with their behavioural needs, both social and emotional. One intervention that has been found to be effective in increasing inclusive interactions between students with special education needs and their peers in mainstream education classrooms is the Good Inclusion Game. Typically, when implementing the Good Inclusion Game, teachers separate the students into teams. The current study compared the teams version of the intervention to a one- team version of the intervention and found similar effects on interactions and disruptive behaviour, though most participants preferred the one-team version. This suggests the intervention can be simplified by not segregating students into teams, making it easier for teachers to implement and promoting greater inclusivity.
