Abstract

This paper analyzes the definition of "learning in a regular classroom" (LRC), makes a comparison between LRC and inclusive education, and subsequently conducts an exploration into the nature of LRC. The conclusion is that LRC is a pragmatic model of inclusion that has evolved out of a compromise between the Western concept of inclusion and practical considerations related to Chinese social and educational conditions.
