Attitudes Toward Teaching

The purpose of this article is to explore the attitudes of preschool and primary school teachers in the inclusive education of children with special educational needs in physical education. The study involved 120 preschool teachers and 100 primary teachers. They completed a modified and adapted version of the Kudláček “Attitudes toward Teaching Individuals with Physical Disabilities in Physical Education – ATIPDPE”questionnaire. The results show that respondents' attitudes towards the inclusion of children with special educational needs in motor education are rather positive. Teachers who have experience in inclusive physical education feel more prepared and more confident in their competence to exercise it, with more inclusive attitudes. On the other hand, older participants and those with more pedagogical experience have less pronounced and less positive inclusive attitudes.

When students with special educational needs (SEN) started to be educated in inclusive classrooms of the mainstream school, some issues concerning the organisation of the process of (self) education in the subject World Study came to the fore. The present research aims at revealing the views of mainstream primary school teachers on the difficulties of preparation for the classes on World Study and the process of organisation of (self) education, when students with SEN are educated in the same classroom. 62 mainstream primary school teachers took part in the research. The survey was conducted on the basis of a special questionnaire. It was established that half of the research participants expressed the opinion that they experience difficulties in preparing for the World Study classes in inclusive classrooms. The difficulties are in adapting the content of education, in the choice of teaching aids and methods, in preparing tasks for independent study. The difficulties caused by the preparation for World Study in inclusive classrooms, in teachers’ opinion, are related more to the education of different ability students, provision of individual support, combining teaching methods, giving attention to the student and stimulation of motivation. It is more difficult to give attention to every student with the greater number of students with SEN. The process of education is also made more difficult due to the fact that students with SEN are seldom active and very rarely can work independently. Key words: primary school teachers, students with special educational needs (SEN), inclusive education, world study.

The purpose of this study is to identify how primary school teachers understand the importance of inclusive education and the benefits of the collaboration between the class teachers and the support teachers. In order to identify the social representations of primary school teachers regarding the cooperation with the support teachers, we have used a questionnaire-based inquiry. We have organised the data into a case study at the level of primary school education. The responses to the open questions offered by the investigated teachers allowed a dramaturgical approach to the roles and the responsibilities of the actors in special education. Our results enhance the benefits of integration of students with special educational needs in the conditions of a distributed responsibility between parents, class teachers and support teachers. Therefore, the qualitative analysis of the written responses of primary school teachers reveals the need of continuous training in aspects related to special educational needs. Keywords: Special educational needs, support teachers, primary school education.

The article describes the state of psychological readiness of primary school teachers for the introduction of inclusion into the national education system. The 92,8% of pedagogical workers have been found to support the latest changes regarding inclusive education. The above points testify to the humanistic orientation of teachers to the organization of educational process involving the children with special needs. They perceive and appreciate not only the positive qualities of the students, but the person as a whole, that is, respect their dignity, recognize the right to free access to education. At the same time, the desire to work with this category of children was revealed by only 6,98% of the respondents. Reasons that prevent teachers from perceiving educational reforms, lack of information about working with special children (87,21%), lack of understanding how and how to make individual programs for children with special educational needs and implement an algorithm for its implementation (94,77%). There is also a fear of preserving the life and health of such students (97,09%), as experience proves that children with emotional and intellectual disorders do not always control their actions and threaten not only their personal health and life, but also other children. Proposals have been developed to increase the teachers' readiness to work with children with special educational needs. It is important to clearly identify the category of children with special educational needs that are able to integrate into society and minimize the individual curriculum. The future teachers need to know articles of the Law "On Education", which define the requirements for inclusive classes. It is necessary to hold trainings, master classes, consultations, round tables, webinars on problems of inclusive education for teachers. It's important to involve in the development of individual programs for children with special educational needs of defectologists, speech therapists, special correctional teacher.

Introduction. Scientific research is dedi- cated to the relevant pedagogical problem - readiness diagnostic of primary school teachers to educational activ- ity in the conditions of inclusive education. The problem is considered as existence of contradictions between social order on preparation of competent teacher, that is able to organize coeducation of children with the special educational needs and children with normal development as well as in the noncompliance with the requirements of the level of readiness of primary school teachers and insufficient educational-methodological and diagnostic provision of this process. The goal of this article is to separate the content-structural components of primary school teachers' readiness to the work in conditions of inclusive education, criteria, indicators and stages of teacher`s readiness to work in the conditions of inclusive education, that gives the opportunity to provide objective diagnostic. Stages of teachers` readiness are considered not only by degree of components readiness, criteria and indicators of its ap- pearance in professional activity, but also with taking into account the continuity and phasing of the process, gradu- al complication, expansion of spheres of activity, increas- ing the complexity of educational tasks in the professional context. On the basis of theoretical analysis and data generalization of experimental studies of my own pedagogical experience was founded, that teacher`s readiness to work in the inclusive education conditions is the unity of four components: motivational value, cognitive activity, personal reflective and communicative components. These components are realized by the motivational, axiological, cognitive-procedural, reflective and evaluative and communicative criteria. The same amount of indicators were selected for each component to optimize the process of diagnostics. According to the criteria, such stages of teachers` training for educational activity in the inclusive education conditions were separated: height, intermediate, middle and low.
