Exploring Primary School Students’ Perspectives: Inclusion (or exclusion) in Processes with Various Professionals in the School’s Support System
This study aims to explore how primary school students make sense of their experiences of receiving help from various professionals in the school's support system. The ultimate goal is to better understand how the school and the school’s support system can be constructed to facilitate inclusive education for all students.

About the project
It is a national and international goal that education should be inclusive. In a white paper to the Storting (Meld. St. 6 2019-2020), the government presents strengthened interprofessional collaboration as the key to a more inclusive school. However, little is known about how interprofessional collaboration is experienced by students. The aim of this study is to explore how primary school students understand their experiences of receiving help from various professionals in the school's support system. The ultimate goal is to gain a better understanding of how the school and the school's support system can be constructed to support inclusive education for all students.
