Comparative analysis of inclusive education policies in STEM and general education

This research conducts a comparative analysis of inclusive education policies in STEM and general education, examining key components and identifying strengths and weaknesses. In STEM, proactive measures address underrepresentation, fostering hands-on learning and integrating adaptive technologies. General education policies adopt a holistic approach, prioritizing inclusivity across diverse learning environments. Identified gaps include variations in resource distribution and teacher training effectiveness. Implications call for targeted interventions to enhance inclusivity, while recommendations emphasize policy revisions and collaborative initiatives. A cross-disciplinary approach is urged for policymakers to draw upon the strengths of STEM and general education, fostering a more cohesive and equitable educational landscape for diverse student populations.
