<p>Inclusive education is increasingly becoming a dominating paradigm of the educational system in Bosnia and Herzegovina. However, although supported by positive legislature, there are still numerous obstacles to inclusion. The goal of the present study was to examine the attitudes of regular education teachers towards inclusive education, more specifically towards obstacles to successful inclusion. The sample consisted of 200 elementary school teachers from two cantons in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The greatest obstacle for inclusion as perceived by the teachers was the lack of professionals trained to work with children with special educational needs in regular schools. It is of utmost importance to support regular education teachers in their efforts to support all students in their classes. This calls for a more meaningful and thorough reformation of regular schools.</p><p>Inkliuzinis ugdymas tampa vis labiau dominuojančia Bosnijos ir Hercegovinos ugdymo sistemos paradigma. Nepaisant to, kad šią paradigmą remia įstatymai, vis dar yra nemažai kliūčių, trukdančių įgyvendinti inkliuzinį ugdymą. Šio tyrimo tikslas – išanalizuoti bendrojo lavinimo mokyklų mokytojų požiūrį į inkliuzinį ugdymą, ypač atkreipiant dėmesį į tai, kas trukdo sėkmingai įgyvendinti šį ugdymo metodą. Tyrimo imtį sudarė 200 bendrojo lavinimo mokyklų mokytojų iš dviejų Bosnijos ir Hercegovinos kantonų. Mokytojų nuomone, didžiausia inkliuzinio ugdymo įgyvendinimo kliūtis yra parengtų specialistų, kurie dirbtų su specialiųjų ugdymosi poreikių turinčiais vaikais bendrojo lavinimo mokykloje, trūkumas. Labai svarbu teikti paramą tiems bendrojo lavinimo mokyklų mokytojams, kurie per pamokas stengiasi padėti visiems mokiniams. Ši situacija suaktualina poreikį įgyvendinti prasmingesnę ir nuodugnesnę bendrojo lavinimo mokyklų reformą.   </p><p> </p>

Resumo As sociedades têm, ao longo dos tempos, desenvolvido práticas e conceitos diversos face ao que consideram como “o diferente”. A forma como as pessoas “diferentes” têm sido encaradas em diversos momentos históricos traduz, de alguma forma, fatores de ordem social, cultural, religiosa e económica, próprios das diversas épocas (Pereira, 1999). Na última década, foram introduzidas mudanças significativas no apoio a prestar aos alunos com Necessidades Educativas Especiais (NEE) pelas escolas do ensino regular. O Decreto-Lei no 3/2008, de 7 de Janeiro veio revogar o Decreto-Lei no 319/91, de 23 de Agosto, o qual determina os apoios especializados a prestar aos alunos com NEE. Este diploma gerou muita controvérsia por parte dos investigadores nacionais, por limitar o público-alvo de apoios especializados e defender um modelo de avaliação das NEE por referência à Classificação Internacional de funcionalidade, incapacidade e saúde (CIF). Uma década depois, o diploma que regulamenta a Educação Especial foi novamente revisto, tendo surgido o Decreto-Lei 54/2018. Através de um questionário com questões abertas e fechadas foi nosso intuito obter informação relativamente à perspetiva dos professores de ensino regular acerca da inclusão de alunos com NEE nas salas de ensino regular e às alterações previstas no novo Decreto-Lei que regulamenta a Educação Especial e os apoios a prestar a estes alunos.Palavras-chave: Educação Especial, Necessidades Educativas Especiais, Decreto-Lei Abstract Societies have, over time, developed diverse practices and concepts in relation to what they consider as "the different". The way in which "different" people have been viewed at various historical moments translates in some way into social, cultural, religious and economic factors characteristic of the various eras (Pereira, 1999). In the last decade, significant changes have been introduced in support for pupils with Special Educational Needs (SEN) in regular schools. Decree- Law no. 3/2008, of 7 January, revoked Decree-Law no. 319/91, of 23 August, which determines the specialized support to be provided to students with SEN. This diploma generated much controversy on the part of the national researchers, for limiting the target audience of specialized supports and to defend a model of evaluation of the SEN with reference to the International Classification of functionality, incapacity and health (CIF). A decade later, the diploma that regulates Special Education was again revised, and Decree-Law 54/2018 emerged. Through a questionnaire with open and closed questions, it was our intention to obtain information regarding the perspective of teachers of regular education about the inclusion of students with SEN in the regular teaching rooms and the changes provided for in the new Decree- Law that regulates Special Education and the support to these students.Keywords: Special Education, Special Educational Needs, Decree-Law

Introduction. The authors investigate the problem of creating an inclusive educational environment for children with special educational needs (SEN) through interaction with their parents. The aim of this article is to identify obstacles faced by parents of children with SEN within an inclusive learning environment. Materials and Methods. The article reviews and analyses Russian and international studies into implementing inclusive education. The empirical data were collected via questionnaires and processed using the methods of mathematical statistics. Results. The authors identified the following barriers to implementing inclusive education for children with SEN, perceived by parents: information, socio-psychological, organizational, methodological, financial and technological. The comparative analysis showed that the barriers to education of children with SEN are faced both by parents whose children attend inclusive schools, and by parents whose children attend special schools, which create special learning environment, taking into account mental and physical development of children with SEN. Parents identified barriers to education for children with SEN regardless of types of schools and mode of study. Parents of children attending inclusive schools raised concerns about organizational, methodological, financial and technological barriers. Parents whose children attend special schools emphasized social and psychological barriers. Conclusions. In conclusion, the authors summarize parents’ perceptions of the main barriers to implementing inclusive education for children with SEN.

There is currently a trend towards an increase in the number of children with special educational needs enrolled in inclusive schools. Thus, the number of children with special educational needs enrolled in inclusive schools is growing. This is caused both by significant changes in the legal regulatory framework, including the 2012 Federal Law on Education, the adoption of the Federal State Educational Standard of Primary General Education for Children with Special Needs, etc. and by the fact that in some regions the number of specialized schools is decreasing, inclusive education becomes a more affordable option for children with special education needs. School specialists, parents, and the public engage in an active dialogue about choosing the most efficient path for an educational route for special needs children, comparing the advantages and disadvantages of inclusive and special education. The design and implementation of an individual educational route, an individual curriculum is essential for children with special needs in terms of improving the quality of education and efficiently entering social life. The relevance of the study is determined by identifying the components that facilitate and complicate, hinder the development and implementation of an individual educational route for these children in an educational organization; the determination of the content of an individual educational route based on the current situation in a practical institution considering the requirements of inclusive education. The purpose of the study is to explore the problems of developing and implementing individual educational routes for children with special needs in the context of inclusion and to determine ways to solve these problems. The key methods of the study are a questionnaire and a structured interview. The empirical data confirms the assumption that the development and implementation of an individual educational route for children with special needs in an educational organization are problematic and inefficient for several reasons. The data obtained is new since similar research results have not been found in the open sources over the past five years.

The aim of this study, “The effects of the game on the cognitive and non-cognitive development in students with special educational needs in inclusive schools” is to present a model of good practice that will favour the inclusion of the students with special educational needs. Starting from this aim, the following assumptions are formulated: 1) The students with special educational needs in inclusive classes who will participate in the training through games will achieve significantly better results in the recovery process than those who will not participate in the training through game, 2) The students with special educational needs in inclusive classes who will participate in the computer-based training will have significantly better results in the recovery process compared to the students who will participate in the training through classic game. The non-parametric test "Mann-Whitney" for independent samples shows that there are statistically significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in the post-test phase (p <.05) for most development areas tested: communication and vocabulary, reading, writing, grammar, spatial orientation, temporal orientation, cognitive behaviour, image memory, pre-numbering, addition, subtraction, behaviour. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups (p>.05) in the following areas of development: motor development, body schema, graphics rendering, color, shape, numerical memory, numbering. The non-parametric test for Mann-Whitney independent samples shows that there are no significant differences between the classic game and computer games (p>.05), both of them bringing benefits in the recovery process of the students with special educational needs. An explanation might be the permanent presence of the computer in children's lives, which makes them lose interest in this method.

he present article is a quantitative research which responds to the following question: what is the attitude of the typical students towards the inclusion of their colleagues with special needs. The attitudes of typical students were measured using a scale designed for this purpose. The results showed a positive attitude towards inclusion. The attitude was also influenced by factors such as gender. Through the paper "Educational Implications of Game in Students with Special Educational Needs from Inclusive Schools", a new way of inclusion was suggested, the inclusion through game addressed to the whole community. The key groups involved in the inclusion process and the proposed objectives for each target group are thus presented: teaching staff: 1) identifying teachers' attitudes towards the integration of the students with special needs in mass education, 2) changing the teachers' attitudes through games; students with special educational needs: 1) designing and testing some forms of support through game; the parents of typical students: 1) identifying the attitudes towards the integration of students with special needs in mass education; typical students: 1) identifying the attitude towards the integration of students with special educational needs in mass education
