Abstract Children and students with functional disorders are one of the target groups of the inclusive education. Students with functional disorders can adapt in general education schools faster if their intellectual development is within the normal range. This group usually consists of disabled students, but they are able to master general education programmes successfully with an assistant’s support. The purpose of the article is to explore the problems of assistants’ support for students with functional disorders in general education schools. Adaptation of these students to general education schools would facilitate their development and enable them to undertake further studies not only in vocational education, but also in higher educational institutions. Assistant’s support would promote the adaptation of these students to the class environment and ease the daily life of their parents. Having assessed the current situation, the authors conclude that the assistant’s support will be effective if the assistant’s functions and roles are recognized and if training of assistants for students with functional disorders in general education schools is ensured.

With the push to include all students, despite disability, in the general education classroom, general education teachers need to be trained in ways to adequately educate intellectually disabled students alongside their nondisabled peers. Many students with an intellectual disability are capable of learning in an inclusive environment if provided with proper support, such as through instructional methods like project-based learning. Project-based learning actively involves learners in investigating real-world issues and answering related questions. This chapter focuses on how to use the project-based learning method to teach children with intellectual disabilities within the framework of inclusive education, using biology as an example subject area.

Psychological Difficulties

In the past, the professional and private life of the teacher was of equal importance to be a model for the child. Later, these areas were separated, and it was even advisable for the teacher to avoid expressing their values. Adolescents want school to give them understanding of values and relationships. Unlike general education, interest-related education is voluntary. Positive feedback on after-school activities is linked to improvements in school performance. Interest-related education strengthens mental health and the ability to overcome psychological difficulties. Nowadays there are different opinions about where the child's morale develops at home, school or elsewhere. Educational institutions have a close connection with the values of education and teachers have a moral impact on schoolchildren. The paper examines several value-oriented creation methods. The author of the paper carried out a study of interest-related education students about their values and experience in out-of-school activities. It is concluded that interest-related education has no pronounced impact on value orientation.

The article analyzes the results of scientific research and innovative educational practice in Ukraine and foreign countries. These results highlight the urgency of the problem related to the development of professional readiness to the systematic organization of inclusive education among education managers. Based on the experience of Khortytsia National Educational Rehabilitation Academy, it was proved that the priority for the development of professional readiness among inclusive education managers is the educational and rehabilitation direction of postgraduate pedagogical education, the possibility to involve leading scientists and experienced practitioners who can demonstrate the inclusive management at work. The article gives arguments for the conceptual statement that an important prerequisite for the success of the inclusive managers’ activity is their professional understanding of the role played by the key specialists of the educational and rehabilitation area of expertise (primary school teachers, assistants of inclusive class teachers, assistants of rehabilitation teachers, tutors of special and inclusive educational institutions, speech therapists, defectologists, social teachers, practical psychologists, consultants of psycho- pedagogical medical institutions, physical therapists, rehabilitation therapists, inclusive education methodologists) in creation of inclusive general education space. The article analyses the content of refresher courses for managers of inclusive educational institutions, which is determined by the priorities of studying the modern theory of educational and rehabilitation management, particularly, advantages, limitations and specifics in the use of basic management approaches: systemic, strategic, program- targeted, adaptive, informational, participative, distributive and network management. Based on the analysis of practical experience, the article highlights possibilities for arranging postgraduate education courses under the "Inclusive Manager" program, which implies the use of interactive consulting forms of advanced training for managers: "Management in the Context of Inclusive Education" training courses, "Management of Inclusive Institution” workshop, organization of work for the "Studio of Inclusive Manager" innovative professional association, providing professional online communication and consulting of participants in the "Successful Head of Inclusive Education” blog.

The perspective from the parents of non-university students is essential in determining inclusive education in a school. The Index of Inclusion is one of the most widely used self-assessment tools and strategies to help teaching teams self-assess their political cultures and practices from the perspective of the values and principles of educational inclusion worldwide. For this reason, the present study intends to show evidence of validity of the Index for Inclusion questionnaire for parents of non-university education students, in a quantitative way, through a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). In this study, 108 fathers and 500 mothers took part, aged between 21 and 62 years (M = 43.59; SD = 6.64), whose children belonged to educational institutions throughout Spain. The results revealed adequate adjustment rates, showing invariant structure with respect to sex. The Index for Inclusion for families of non-university education students was shown to be a robust and adequate psychometric instrument to assess the degree of development of inclusive education in educational institutions from the perspective of the parents of said student body. The family is a basic pillar in the education of children and a reference for them. In addition, parents of non-university education students are configured as fundamental participatory elements of the child’s educational institution thus; making the family a fundamental element that favors inclusive education. Precisely because of all this, the future administration of this questionnaire (to the parents of these students) is recommended.

The Way

Abstract Implementing inclusive education has proven problematic all over the world. The reasons are multiple, but one of them can presumably be related to the way students with disabilities are “created”, viewed, and responded to as “special education students” within schools. To challenge this, we need to understand students’ position within the school. In this article, the focus is on identifying the position of students who receive special education in schools in Iceland by mapping their power relations and resistance within the discursive norm of special education. We use the method of thinking with theory and read data in accordance with Foucault’s theories of power relations and resistance and Deleuze and Guattari’s concepts of line of flight and becoming. Findings show that power relations affect students variously and although students’ resistance is manifested differently between individuals, a common thread is visible when resisting their static position as special education students.

Un General Assembly

With the ratification of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN General Assembly Resolution 6/106, adopted at 61 session of the UN General Assembly, 2006), the Law of Ukraine No. 176-VI dated December 13, 2009 approved a number of legislative acts. Thus, the Convention on the Development of Inclusive Education, approved by the order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine dated 10.10.2010 No. 912 states that inclusive education is a complex process of ensuring equal access to quality education for children with special educational needs by organizing their education in general educational institutions based on the application of personally oriented teaching methods, taking into account the individual peculiarities of educational and cognitive activity of such children. The solution of the problem of organizing inclusive education in general educational institutions of Ukraine is aimed at fulfilling the provisions of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which led to intensification of scientific research. In this direction, textbooks have been published, methodological recommendations have been developed, scientific articles have been published, defended dissertations. At the same time, in new school projects, investors and authors of general education institutions often do not envisage the organization of inclusive education, believing that children with special educational needs will not study in these institutions. First of all, we should note that in Ukraine society is not entirely prepared to solve the problem of organizing inclusive education in secondary schools. For example, not everyone knows that the formation of a class with inclusive education is carried out by the head of a comprehensive educational institution, taking into account educational needs of the population, provided that there is a necessary material and technical and methodological base, appropriate pedagogical staff and premises, in agreement with the relevant education management body. The article examines the issues of creating equal access for children with special educational needs to quality education by forming a comfortable architectural and planning organization of general educational institutions. Recommendations are given regarding the occupancy of classes with inclusive education, the parameters and areas of the main premises of schools are determined.
