Inclusive school: behind the words, what are the conceptions and the recourse to the different forms of ‟acting together”?
The starting point of our work is a lack of clarity in defining what is an inclusive school and, more specifically, in one of its important components, ‟acting together”. A review of recent scientific literature, French and English, allows an analysis of these concepts and of the various uses made of them. The review based on scientific essays from renowned databases (ERIC, Medline, PsycINFO et SocINDEX, CAIRN) showed 26 texts that mentioned “acting together” and inclusive schools. The analysis confirms that the two notions are rarely used separately and that recent studies uses them together without clear definitions, even though they belong to different paradigms.
