Physical Education and Special Educational Needs in North-West EnglandThe paper examines the inclusion of pupils with special educational needs (SEN) in mainstream secondary schools from the perspective of physical education (PE) teachers. The findings of this case study, which used individual interviews and was undertaken in the North-West of England, suggest that team games are activities which teachers find particularly difficult to plan and deliver in an inclusive way. Specifically, many teachers suggested that there was limited opportunity for individual planning during team games and that they found it difficult to develop and implement rules and adapt games to make them more inclusive. Moreover, there was an expressed feeling among teachers that, first, their initial teacher training (ITT) had not prepared them adequately for their day-to-day endeavours to include pupils with SEN in PE; and, second, that the schools in which they work are not providing them with any inclusion training. Finally, there was a general feeling among PE teachers that they are not receiving enough support from special educational needs coordinators (SENCOs) and learning support assistants (LSAs) whose role is, lest we forget, to enable teachers to include pupils with SEN in the mainstream education system.

  El Informe Warnock y la Declaración de Salamanca, establecieron criterios estandarizados sobre conceptos y requerimientos mínimos para una enseñanza homogénea de los centros educativos para las personas con Necesidades Educativas Especiales (NEE). Las NEE dentro de la normativa en Chile, se clasifican en Necesidades Educativas Especiales Permanentes y Transitorias. Las cuales, mediante Decretos, Leyes y acuerdos internacionales, los niños, niñas y adolescentes tienen el derecho de una educación de calidad, tendiendo en consideración las características particulares que pueden presentar los estudiantes, este acompañamiento puede ser transitorio y/o permanente. De esta manera, se busca que, a través de la Educación Especial, el alumnado obtenga herramientas necesarias para su utilización en contextos sociales y laborales. Sin embargo, desde la Educación Física en contextos escolares, se evidencia poca preparación o conocimiento de las características de las NEE que presente un estudiante por parte del profesor de Educación Física, si bien, en distintas universidades se encuentra la asignatura que dote a los estudiantes de pedagogía de herramientas y competencias para el trabajo con escolares con NEE, se evidencia que existe una falta de componentes teóricos y prácticos para trabajar con NEE. Finalmente, se invita a la reflexión para la utilización de actividades físico – deportivas o motrices adaptadas, las cuales podrían permitir ser una herramienta complementaria e inclusiva en la clase de Educación Física escolar.  Abstract. The Warnock Report and the Salamanca Declaration established standardized criteria on concepts and minimum requirements for a homogeneous teaching of educational centers for people with Special Educational Needs (SEN). SEN within the regulations in Chile are classified as Permanent and Transitory Special Educational Needs. Which, through Decrees, Laws and international agreements, children and adolescents have the right to a quality education, taking into consideration the characteristics that students may present, this accompaniment may be transitory and / or permanent. In this way, it is sought that, through Special Education, students obtain the necessary tools for their use in social and work contexts. However, from Physical Education in school contexts, little preparation, or knowledge of the characteristics of SEN presented by a student is evidenced by the Physical Education teacher, although, in different universities there is the subject that provides students pedagogy of tools and competencies for working with schoolchildren with SEN, it is evident that there is a lack of theoretical and practical components to work with SEN. Finally, reflection is invited for the use of adapted physical - sports or motor activities, which could allow them to be a complementary and inclusive tool in the school Physical Education class.

It is especially important for the physical education teacher to have a good professional training because, in the current legislative context, he must be able to manage the behavioural problems of students during classes and at the same time be able to carry out effectively, efficiently and qualitatively lessons. The ability to observe and monitor the behaviour of students with special educational needs will allow the physical education teacher to record their progress by applying means of action, especially in the form of movement games, adapted to achieve integration and socialization during classes and to temper and shape their behaviour for a good hour. Aim of the research: The aim of this study was to analyze the aspects of integration and inclusion in the literature, highlighting the importance of categories of means for various conditions encountered in the physical education lesson, to accommodate students with special educational needs in primary school.

Abstract Dynamic games can contribute to the growth of the efficiency, motivation in developing the quality of the movement for children with special educational needs, if the psycho-physiological particularities in the training of these children are followed, if the most efficient methods and means of achieving the purpose, a good staging of the training process with a proper dosage of the effort and with a growth of the quality in organizing and leading the activity are used. The purpose of the paper was to select among the movement games the most efficient ones for the developing of the movement quality, to explain them during physical education classes and the obtained results to demonstrate their efficiency in achieving the goal. To achieve this study, we started from the following hypothesis: we assume that by predominantly using the dynamic games during the physical education classes we can achieve a growth of the indices of the movement quality in children with special educational needs. Methods and materials: In this aspect, we built a set of tests (Long jump, speed running – 50 meters, Shuttle run 5x10m, throwing rounders ball) with which we operated in two periodical assessments during an entire school year. The place of this study was at the “St. Andrew” Inclusive Education Scholar Center from Gura Humorului. These two classes of students had one weekly hour of physical education in their timetable. Results and conclusions: Using the results of the physical assays as reference elements, the accumulations of the pupils during the research concerning the movement quality had emerged. In conclusion, if age and individual particularities of the pupils, didactical canons are followed, if proper preparatory games are selected and the planned activity happens in a systematic way with responsibility, the results won’t hesitate to appear.
