Transitions in the field of special education

The purpose of “Transitions in the field of special education” is to explore the phenomenon of transition as it relates to the field of special education within the Nordic countries of Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland. First, David L. Cameron and Ragnar Thygesen investigate transition in the field of special education with respect to historical developments and the shifting prominence of diverse guiding theories. Second, we examine the process of transition in a wide range of special education contexts, including transitions from home to school, school to work, and across other contexts and types of support.

The target audience for the book includes authors and researchers in academic and government research institutions, professionals working in special education and related fields, as well as students at graduate and doctoral levels. There are 16 chapters with contributions from the editors and 15 other international authors: Jorun Buli-Holmberg, David L. Cameron, Camilla Brørup Dyssegaard, Niels Egelund, Astrid Birgitte Eggen, Britta Hannus-Gullmets, Camilla Herlofsen, Maryann Jortveit, Velibor Bobo Kovač,
Ingrid Lund, Johan Malmqvist, David Mitchell, Sven Nilsen, Heidi Omdal, Kristina Ström, Ragnar Thygesen, and Anne Dorthe Tveit.

Pressestimmen

Jeder der in der Anthologie enthaltenen Texte ist für sich lesenswert, insbesondere für Leser mit einem Interesse für Entwicklungen in der nordeuropäischen Pädagogik. Die Veröffentlichung unterstreicht damit nicht zuletzt, dass Übergänge im sonderpädagogischen Kontext ein weites Feld darstellen.
