The article attempts to test the hypothesis of whether the transformation of European values into the social policies of the post-socialist states of Ukraine and Romania contributes to the strengthening of the reflective spirituality, humanity and democracy of their nations. There have been used the following methods: general scientific, historical, retrospective and comparative. The authors have analyzed the problem of inclusive education in Romania and Ukraine in two directions: as a sign of spirituality, religiosity of Ukrainians and Romanians; and as the expressed humanity of the democratic society of Ukraine and Romania. The analysis of the reflexive spirituality of Ukrainians and Romanians is carried out on the basis of philosophical understanding of spirituality and its connection with humanity, which are presented in theoretical researches of the end of the XIX - the beginning of the XXI century. The authors explained that inclusive education is a manifestation of society's humanity towards persons with disabilities, a means of reflexive and spiritual culture of Ukrainians and Romanians. The basic democratic values established in Ukraine and Romania are freedom, openness, tolerance. The space covered by inclusive education in both countries is determined by interdependent and interpenetrating processes of humanization and democratization. The humanistic approach is the basis for the functioning of a democratic society with its system of social ties, archaic values of spirituality, religion, and culture. The values and principles declared by inclusive education are recommended and follow from the content of international documents. The approval of a number of regulatory documents on the introduction of inclusive education indicates that the Ukrainian and Romanian social policies have reached the level of norms declared by international and European legal norms. It has been found out, that the transformation of European values in both countries takes place on the basis of the international human rights instruments. This circumstance has intensified the actualization of the development of inclusion and the manifestation of reflexive spirituality, humanity and democracy.

People with disabilities are those who are relatively disabled in terms of any part of the body or the brain. In our country, special attention is paid to the education of people with disabilities. Inclusive education creates conditions for the protection of social equality, education and other special needs of children with disabilities. According to the teaching methodology, inclusive education prevents discrimination against children, allows people with various diseases to get a perfect education and succeed. Its main task is to create an environment for vocational training of people with disabilities. In modern times, people with disabilities should not be seen as sick, but as people with disabilities. This shapes the social approach to disability. The social model allows these children to exercise their rights to develop their skills. The purpose of inclusive physical education is to teach students to move together, which promotes the improvement and development of human psychophysical abilities. Different exercises should be chosen for each lesson and combined in such a way as to have a comprehensive effect on the body and ensure that each student can perform.

In the area of disability studies, models have been at the centre of debates, influencing social policies, practices and legal frameworks. The former Ministry of Health and Social Welfare in the Kingdom of Lesotho was not an exception. In its efforts to tackle issues of disability, it produced The National Disability and Rehabilitation Policy: Mainstreaming persons with disabilities into society in 2011. This policy document is rooted in the social model and seeks to address long-standing problems and challenges of people with disabilities in the Kingdom. Using ideas from Foucault, particularly the technologies and regimes of power, which work through language and practice, this article examined ways in which people with disabilities are constituted through state knowledge and government policies, and concluded that these constructions form the basis for alienation and marginalisation in society.

Background. The modern education system needs competent and qualified specialists, including psychologists who work with students with disabilities. Training psychologists who are able to work in a modern system of inclusive education is becoming the most important task of higher education. Professional training involves the formation of objective ideas about a person with disabilities. Aim. The paper aims to identify the ideas of psychology students about the personality of an individual with disabilities. Materials and methods. The study involved 53 3rd-year psychology and pedagogy students of Omsk State Pedagogical University. Content analysis was used to analyze students essays. Three categories were identified and characterized: “Perceptions of a person with limited health opportunities”, “Perceptions of oneself”, “Perceptions of the social environment”. Results. It has been established that the highest frequency is inherent in the category “Perceptions of a person with limited health opportunities”, which reflects well-formed representations of students about the personal qualities and psychological needs of people with disabilities. The ideas about the social environment of persons with disabilities, as well as about their own personality, were formed to a lesser extent. Conclusion. The obtained results allow us to draw general conclusions regarding the fragmentation of ideas about a person with limited health opportunities. The psychology students have the right ideas about the psychological resources needed by people with impaired development for successful social integration and partially correct ideas regarding the needs of this category of people. The obtained data reveal new information about the features of the formation of professional ideas in psychology students specializing in the psychological and pedagogical support of people with limited health opportunities.

Modern public administration is based on the legal basis. It determines the need to build a system of legal acts in a logical and consistent system. Law-making should be based on the social essence of law and its functions. The research indicates the imperfection of certain normative legal acts and the need to improve the legislation. The task of legal sciences is to offer a concept of legislation that will meet the needs of society, take into account the socio-economic development of the state interests of the individual. Special regulation is required in the field of public life such as road safety, affecting most branches of law. The definition of the concept of the individual branches of law governing this area should be based on a general concept. It determines the relevance of the study, which examines the theoretical approaches to the formation of the concept of legal regulation and through its prism the possibility of forming the concept of individual normative legal acts is considered, including the concept of a new code of administrative offences. The study used general scientific research methods: analysis, synthesis, abstraction, generalization and deduction, as well as general scientific empirical methods such as observation. As a result of the study conducted in the article, the conclusions are made that specific legislative acts should not only be consistent with the general system of legal norms, among themselves and meet the requirements of legal technology, but also consistent with the social grounds of legitimization. Taking into account the conclusions drawn, the question of the need to revise the concept of the code of administrative offences is considered and certain provisions are proposed that can be taken into account in its formation.

 Nos estudos relacionados à deficiência, podem-se identificar com clareza duas perspectivas paradigmáticas que fundamentam as ideias e ações de pesquisadores e profissionais a partir da modernidade: o modelo médico e o modelo social. Atualmente, no entanto, percebe-se a emergência de críticas ao modelo social que se encaminham para o que possivelmente poderá se constituir em uma terceira perspectiva (denominada neste trabalho de pós-social). O presente artigo tem por objetivo analisar princípios que norteiam a compreensão da deficiência considerando essas três perspectivas. Foram selecionadas publicações realizadas a partir da década de 1990 no Brasil, Europa Ocidental e América do Norte, utilizando-se os descritores inclusão escolar, sociedade inclusiva, direitos humanos e políticas públicas para pessoas com deficiência, paradigmas da deficiência, modelo médico, modelo social, estudos da deficiência e estudos feministas. Traçaram-se reflexões sobre os modelos por meio da identificação dos contextos sócio-históricos e das bases epistemológicas que os sustentam, e de algumas articulações com o campo da educação especial na perspectiva da inclusão. Problematizar esses modelos que coabitam os espaços sociais permite deslocamentos que possibilitem repensar as relações com a pessoa com deficiência nos diferentes contextos e instituições.Palavras-chave: Educação inclusiva.

Currently, however, we see the emergence of critiques regarding the social model moving towards what could possibly constitute a third perspective (called post-social in this paper). The present article aims to analyze the principles which guide the understanding of disability considering these three perspectives. Publications carried out from the 1990s in Brazil, Western Europe and North America were selected using the descriptors school inclusion, inclusive society, human rights and public policies for people with disabilities, disability paradigms, medical model, social model, disability studies and feminist studies. We attempted to trace reflections on the models by identifying the socio-historical contexts and the epistemological foundations that support them and by some articulations with the field of special education in the perspective of inclusion. To problematize these models which coexist in social spaces allows for shifts that may enable to rethink our relations with persons with disabilities in different contexts and institutions.Keywords: Inclusive education.
