Abstract:
The study focused on the language of teaching, gender, and disability issues, as well as the consequences for educational practices, to examine learner diversity in inclusive classrooms. Two inclusive secondary schools in the Uttar Pradesh region of India were the sources of the data used in this qualitative research approach to answer the research question. The research participants, who were teachers and students, and the schools were collected using a purposive sample technique. Data gathering methods included open-ended interviews, in-class observations, and focus group discussions. Findings point to difficulties teachers, particularly those working with students with disabilities, have while teaching mixed-gender courses. Boys predominated in some classroom dialogues, but overall, interactions between girls and boys were positive. It is advised that during initial teacher training and ongoing in-service training, all teachers receive training on how to manage students with special needs and become familiar with the overall concept of learner variety. Finally, it is advised that a different study be carried out employing a larger sample size, other sorts of participants with special needs, and quantitative and qualitative methodologies. Parents of children with special needs should also take part in the suggested study.
