Inclusion means the involvement of all learners in a group in the learning process. Inclusion uses –> heterogeneity as a basic principle in order to fully exploit the potential of the group. Inclusive education goes beyond integration, in which learners with disabilities in particular work in the community, but on different topics and often in separate table groups.

Intrinsic (inner) motivation is the driving force behind the learning process. Children bring this with them through their desire to learn, their spirit of research and discovery. Adults have often lost their intrinsic motivation to learn, as they are often controlled by extrinsic (external) expectations and assessments as a result of their experiences in the education system. One method to find the inner will to learn again is the –> Natural Method.
