<p>Abilities of pupils with moderate, severe and profound intellectual disabilities are developed in activities. One of such activities is technology lessons with its essential feature – practical orientation. The most important achievements of SEN pupils in the technology subject is formation of practical daily life skills. As provided in <em>The Recommendations on Adaptation of Basic Education General Curricula for Education of Special Needs Pupils with Low and Very Low Intellectual Abilities </em>(2010), technology education consists of such parts as nutrition, textiles, structural materials and electronics. Properly organized electronics lessons prepare special needs pupils for life, form their practical skills, and help them to get familiar with new technologies.

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.

Maximum Benefit

Special education is usually defined as provisions made for children on the basis of particular and atypical physical or behavioural characteristics they have or manifest. Most current and widely used special education textbooks adopt such a definition, and Havill and Mitchell’s (1972) book — so far the only general New Zealand reference book in this area, is no exception: ‘Special education refers to the facilities, materials and teaching resources provided for children who because of exceptional physical, intellectual, emotional or social characteristics, can not receive maximum benefit from a regular school programme (Havill & Mitchell, 1972 [p.9])’; ‘….provisions brought to bear for children whose teaching needs are beyond the resources usually available in an ordinary school (Ross, 1972 [p. 17]). There is nothing wrong with defining special education in this way. Indeed the fact that a number of children have or show exceptional physical or behavioural characteristics (or can be reliably predicted to do so) is the very foundation upon which special educational provisions are planned and made. What needs equal recognition, however — and is frequently overlooked, is that such provisions will be necessary to the degree that regular classroom provisions are inadequate to accommodate children with special needs. It is possible — indeed probable, that many children are receiving special educational provisions mostly because of the inadequacies of their particular school/classroom situation and not primarily because of any special teaching needs they may have. In this sense, special educational services can be viewed as a type of “Band-Aid” facility — available when regular class provisions are inadequate for particular children because of inadequacies on the part of the teacher (i.e., in teaching ability, understanding of the special needs and learning/behavioural characteristics of the children concerned, etc.) or inadequacies in resources available to the teacher (i.e., equipment, time, etc.). The fact that it is very difficult to ascertain in any particluar case whether a child is receiving special education primarily because of characteristics he/she has or primarily because of characteristics or resources his/her teacher does not have, makes it very difficult to specify the special educational needs of such children, or to design or evaluate special educational provisions vis-a-vis the needs of the children concerned.

Abstract Disability studies and special educational needs studies are becoming more and more popular nowadays as researcher got more evidence about both needs and potential of persons with disabilities. Investigating new possibilities and way of normalisations should be definitely based on stable anthropological principle as only then one can be sure that persons with disabilities are treated with brotherhood, dignity and respect, not as object of therapy, rehabilitation and medical procedures, but fully human subjects at every stage of their life. The aim of the paper is to draw fundaments of Christian special education as a perspective that may form a basis for both research and counselling and rehabilitation practice. This perspective founded on principles of Christianity enriched with writings on disability of such persons as John Paul II and Jean Vanier is a guarantee of full development of persons with disabilities and/or special needs.

Resumo Multitarefa com mídias é um fenômeno no qual são realizadas mais de uma tarefa ao mesmo tempo, sendo pelo menos uma das atividades com aparelhos eletrônicos. Esta prática impacta, negativamente, várias situações do cotidiano. Muitas vezes, pode-se associá-la ao ato de dirigir e até mesmo envolver o consumo de bebida alcoólica, tornando potencialmente uma combinação fatal. Assim, os potenciais riscos associados a estas práticas devem ser divulgados e a extensão universitária pode contribuir promovendo ações de Divulgação Científica. Dessa forma, o objetivo do presente trabalho é relatar uma ação extensionista realizada por meio de uma oficina em um ambiente não-formal de educação. A oficina focava na divulgação dos riscos ligados a Multitarefa com Mídia, direção e consumo de álcool. Para isso, duas ações foram combinadas: a primeira abordou o tema Multitarefa com Mídia e a segunda associou a prática de Multitarefa com Mídia, direção e consumo de álcool. Ambas oficinas associaram conteúdos teóricos com atividades práticas. Como resultado, participaram destas ações alunos da Educação Básica, Educação Básica na modalidade Educação Especial e comunidade em geral. Os visitantes vivenciaram simulações, experimentos e puderam refletir sobre os prejuízos em potencial da combinação multitarefa, álcool e direção. O feedback dos visitantes foi positivo. Palavras-chave: Multitarefa. Extensão Universitária. Educação Não-Formal. AbstractMedia Multitasking is a phenomenon in which more than one task is performed simultaneously, being one of the activities with electronic devices. This practice negatively impacts several everyday situations. It can often be associated with driving and even involve drinking alcohol, potentially making it a fatal combination. Thus, the potential risks associated with these practices must be disclosed, and university extension can contribute by promoting Scientific Dissemination actions. Thus, this paper aims to report an extension action through a workshop in a non-formal educational environment. The workshop focused on disclosing the risks related to Multitasking with Media, management, and alcohol consumption. For this, two actions were combined: the first approached the topic of Multitasking with Media, and the second associated the practice of Multitasking with Media, driving, and alcohol consumption. Both workshops associated theoretical content with practical activities. As a result, students from Basic Education, Basic Education in the Special Education modality, and the community, in general, participated in these actions. Visitors experienced simulations, experiments, and reflected on the potential losses from the combination of multitasking, alcohol, and driving. The feedback from visitors was positive.

The article explores the ways to improve the pupil support system in school practice as part of the transition from integration to the inclusive education of pupils with special needs. The research question addresses the ways of improving the pupil support system in a school focused on inclusive education. Determining the ways of improving the pupil support system in school practice by promoting inclusive education following the case study of Verdenė Gymnasium in Visaginas can be described as the subject of the research. The objective of the research is to outline directions for improving the pupil support system in schools while focusing on the targets of inclusive education. The tasks of the research include: 1) analysing theoretical and operational guidelines provided in scientific literature and education guidance documents on the development of the pupil support system in inclusive schools; 2) determining the reasons why the current pupil support system in school needs improvement whenever the focus is placed on inclusive education; 3) drawing up guidelines for schools to help them upgrade the pupil support system based on inclusive education. Case study is used as the method of this research (Yin, 2003) focusing on an educational institution – gymnasium (grammar school). The choice of the case was determined by the distinctive character of the gymnasium: it delivers a broad range of curricula including an accredited secondary education programme (two years), two-part basic education programme (six years), primary education programme (four years) along with adapted and personalized programmes in primary and basic education and social skills development; it also provides the necessary support for pupils with a variety of special educational needs. The applied research methods include the analysis of written documents, a questionnaire survey and modelling. Units of analysis include national and school documents, teachers and other experts related to the case study schools and the research context. The theoretical and empirical study of the case established that: The implementation of the UNESCO proposed inclusive education concept is still a target to be achieved in the case study school. The school focuses on the types of pupil support established nationwide, which exclude children having special educational needs due to their exceptional abilities, nor do they place emphasis on the need for day to day teacher’s help, thus narrowing the scope of inclusive education. Pupil support in the case study school is institutionalised, its provision being entrusted to different bodies and structures. School documents by themselves postulate the philosophy of inclusive education; however, when it comes to education delivery, integration rather than inclusive education of SEN children tends to prevail in the school: pupils with SEN and gifted children are treated as homogeneous groups without highlighting the importance of the teacher’s help for all student groups in daily education process. The case study schools and other context schools delegate responsibility for inclusive education to SEN teachers and for the education of gifted children to other appointed teachers. The analysis of the research data leads to a conclusion that pupil support delivered by the case study schools is now in the phase of the deconstruction of special needs education and the formation of inclusive education; therefore, it needs improvement implementing inclusive education in line with the philosophy of togetherness and appreciation of diversity, which grants equal opportunities and respect for individuality.
