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

The University

The basis of the study is the findings of scientific research dealing with experiential reflections of university students studying in the special education Bachelor degree study program in Lithuania. The special educator is a teacher of children with special educational needs, an educational assistance specialist who is able to recognize, assess, and meet children’s special educational needs arising due to disabilities, disorders, or learning difficulties, and to professionally provide special pedagogical assistance in the conditions of inclusive and special education. In order to analyze the experience of prospective special educators who study at the university for four years, first year students were chosen. At the start of their studies at the university, in the first month of their studies, students do their practice in the institutions of the educational system: Pre-school, general, and/or special education institutions. The aim of the practice is to get familiar with the subtleties of the future professional activity. It is maintained that students’ initial experience outlived at the start of studies is important and significant for further studies at the university. The article deals with the results of written reflections of students who have returned from practice. The phenomenological hermeneutics method enabled to disclose students’ experiences in their practical activities during their observational practice, providing deeper understanding of the study area, as a precondition for reflective learning in further university studies, and by interacting with participants of the (self) education process, the article presents future special educators’ practical experiences and perceptions of their roles in the profession. The results disclosed that self-reflection provides students with deeper perception of themselves as people with special educators’ needs and problems, personal strengths and competence limitations that enable them to identify sources and means for solving existing and future professional activity problems. It further reveals that cooperation with family members, university teachers, social pedagogues, teachers, children with special educational needs, sharing experiences with student colleagues could lead to greater self-confidence in oneself as a future specialist. Curiosity and personal initiative enabled students to identify positive and difficult moments of the professional activity and future professional role while learning from experience.

AbstractHow do we make sense of considerable cultural differences and change in disability classification? How are disability’s categorical boundaries being redrawn in special education to realign with shifting paradigms of normality? Based in particular on the case of provided services to students “with special educational needs,” this analysis examines classification systems of student disability and their categorical boundaries in the United States and Germany. Sketching the origins and evolution of special education categories from 1920 to 2005, the comparison shows how categorical boundaries have been redrawn, giving rise to new groups of students.

Inclusive Schools

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.
