This study discuss about the social participation of students with special needs in inclusive school. This research is descriptive quantitative and the relationship between the four aspects of social participation. The subject of this research are students with special needs and regular students in ten inclusive elementary school, Padang. The social self-perception was measured with three aspects such as the Self-Perception Profile for Children, The Self-Description Questionnaire and Peer Social Acceptance The results showed that the majority of students with special needs have a satisfying level of social participation. However, if compared with their peers (regular students), students with special needs are more likely to have difficulties on social participation. In general, students with special needs have fewer friends and have less cohesive friendship than their peers. In addition, students with special needs have less interaction with peers, more interaction with the teacher, and less accepted by their normal peers. Social self-perception of students with special needs and regular students are no different. There is no significant differences in social participation in both groups.</p><p> </p><p>Straipsnyje analizuojamas specialiųjų ugydymosi poreikių turinčių mokinių socialinis dalyvavimas keturiais aspektais: draugystės, interakcijos, socialinės savivokos ir bendramokslių priėmimo. Taip pat aptariamas jų socialinis dalyvavimas inkliuzinėje mokykloje. Be to, aprašomuoju būdu analizuojami kiekybiniai santykiai tarp šių keturių socialinio dalyvavimo aspektų. Duomenys buvo renkami iš tiek turinčių, tiek ir neturinčių specialiųjų ugdymosi poreikių mokinių, besimokančių dešimtyje inkliuzinių pradinių mokyklų Padange. Socialinė savivoka buvo tiriama trimis aspektais: vaikų<br />savivokos profilis, savęs apibūdinimo klausimynas ir bendramokslių socialinis priėmimas. Rezultatai parodė, kad dauguma specialiųjų ugdymosi poreikių turinčių mokinių demonstruoja patenkinamą socialinio dalyvavimo lygį. Kaip bebūtų, lyginant su jų bendramoksliais (įprastos raidos mokiniais), yra labiau tikėtina, kad jiems kyla sunkumų socialiai dalyvauti, jie turi mažiau draugų ir jų draugystė ne tokia glaudi. Be to, jie daugiau bendrauja su savo mokytoja (-u) ir yra mažiau priimami specialiųjų ugdymosi poreikių neturinčių bendramokslių, kurių socialinė savivoka skiriasi.</p>

This paper aims to shed light on the level of social acceptance among students with learning disabilities (LD4) in various secondary school vocational programs in comparison with their peers without disabilities. Our findings are based on an empirical study that comprised 417 students,5 of whom 85 were students with LD. Based on sociometric analyses of allparticipating classes, we determined that students with LD were less integrated into the classroom in comparison to their peers without LD. The results of the sociometric analysis show statistically significant differences in the sociometric position between students with LD and students without LD. While students with LD were most frequently perceived as rejected,students without LD were seen as popular or average. In addition, students with LD see themselves as less socially self-efficient compared to their peers. The results of our study mostly refer to boys, because the sample comprised 359 boys and 58 girls. We believe that pro-inclusion teachers with appropriately developed strategies for strengthening students’ socialskills, as well as positive attitudes and sufficient knowledge about the special needs of students can have a significant impact on the social acceptance of students with special needs in the classroom community.

The study addresses the psychometric qualities of a new teacher questionnaire, the Social Participation Questionnaire (SPQ), to assess the social participation of pupils with special needs in regular primary education. The SPQ initially consisted of 34 statements related to four key themes of social participation: “friendships/relationships,” “contacts/interactions,” “pupil’s social self-perception,” and “acceptance by classmates,” yielding four respective subscales. A nonparametric item response analysis (Mokken scale analysis) was used to examine the quality of the SPQ. Based on the Mokken scale analysis results, ten statements were removed. The resulting four subscales appeared intermediate to strong. Because the double monotonicity model, based on the Mokken scale analysis, turned out to be well-fitted for each subscale, the subscale scores are on an ordinal scale, and the separate statements are invariantly ordered. The subscale scores are comparable across pupils with and without special needs, differential item functioning appearing to be absent. Subsequent analyses supported the division of statements into the four subscales. The SPQ as a whole and its subscales were found to be reliable. Finally, as regards social participation, differences between pupils with and without special needs were clearly found.

Students in inclusive schools are of various types, inclusive schools are schools where there is a diversity of students, there are regular students and students with special needs. Regular students are students who do not have significant barriers (meaning), on the physical, mental, cognitive and sensory sides, so that they can follow learning normally without requiring special educational services. Students with special needs are individuals who have significant barriers, both physically, mentally, cognitive and senorik so that they need special educational needs services to be able to study with regular students. This is a challenge in itself for teachers who teach in inclusive schools.

The three articles from Volume 14 that are reviewed here are linked by a common theme: the social interactions of children with special educational needs. The countries involved, the target group of pupils and the methodology vary but each one draws attention to the complexities of the social dimension of inclusion and suggest that physical proximity alone does not ensure positive social interaction.

The process of socialisation and integration represents unity, and at the same time – a continuous controversy between two aspects: socialisation and individuality. Due to this, the process is a single upside stream – the entry of a child into the world of adults, in the social world. Every child is a unique personality with its individual qualities, interests, abilities and educational needs. Every child with special educational needs has the right to be taught on an individual schedule with content, matching its own necessities and capacity. The general education kindergarten, in which the authors work and teach pupils with special educational needs has established a tolerant community and guarantees schooling, tutoring and mentorship for everybody.

Across Europe, the enrolment of students with special educational needs in regular classrooms is increasing, although it does not always mean access to high quality educational experience. In this context, inclusive education has been enhanced in most educational systems, but its successful implementation is still limited and has become a challenge in most countries, and specially in secondary education, when segregation due to learning achievement is more frequent. Educational practices that take into account the potential of promoting learning interactions within heterogeneous groups of students have already demonstrated contributing to educational inclusion of students with special needs. In this study we analyse the case of a secondary education school located in Valencian Community (Spain), which educates students with special needs along with their typically developing peers and is characterized by its inclusive ethos. The analysis focuses on three educational strategies implemented in the school and their impact on educational improvement and inclusion of the students with special needs: (1) co-teaching, (2) interactive groups, (3) dialogic literary gatherings. Qualitative data were obtained from communicative focus groups with teachers, communicative life stories with students and relatives, communicative observations of the three educational strategies and documentary analysis. The findings show significant increase in the students' instrumental learning, as well as an improvement in these students' overall inclusion in the school.
