Literature Analysis with Regard to the State of Research in the Area of Integrative and Separative Provisions for Pupils with Behavioural Problems

Canton Zurich's Department of Education is interested in obtaining a current overview of the existing research being carried out on the theme of separative versus integrative forms of schooling, facilitation and support for pupils with behavioural problems. A systematic literature analysis will be employed to discover which support, schooling and facilitation provisions exist in practice for pupils with behavioural problems. Particular focus is placed upon the question of how separative and integrative forms are comparable with regard to their effect.
