Sind Inklusion und Integration in der Schule gescheitert?

Critical Questions on a Current Societal Phenomenon in the Field of Education

Following the concept of "integration," "inclusion" was introduced in the educational sector in 2006 to guarantee equality in education for all. Beat Kissling, an educational scientist and psychologist, takes stock.

What was unconvincing about integration?
Is optimized integration the solution?
Should "properly" practiced inclusion be preferred?
Is it a matter of increasing public relations to create acceptance?
What is ultimately decisive?

The author provides a well-founded and carefully differentiated contribution to answering the fundamental question of how a consensual perspective and solution can be found that meets the humane demands of integration and inclusion—ensuring that aspiration and reality do not diverge.

From psychological, educational, and anthropological perspectives, the author examines selected practical examples to highlight the opportunities and risks of integration and inclusion, offering ideas for a possible future.
