The development of the information society involves the use of new pedagogical technologies and appropriate teaching methods. In this regard, information and communication technologies (ICT) have become the most suitable tool that can help people with different learning requirements to exercise their right to education, employment, social life and leisure, as well as access to information. The use of new technologies in education should enhance independence, integration, and equal opportunities for all. Thus, the problem of effective use of digital technologies in the process of organizing the educational process of people with special educational needs is relevant. The aim of the work was to analyze the features of the use of electronic educational resources in an inclusive educational environment. To do this, we used the method of analysis of special pedagogical literature and national standards. The article highlights the need to use electronic educational resources adapted for people with special educational needs in higher education institutions. Based on the analysis of scientific works and national standards of Ukraine, the use of conceptual and terminological apparatus is specified, as well as the main qualities and provisions for the development of EER for people with special needs are identified. Attention is also drawn to the fact that electronic educational resources require compliance with additional requirements. Accordingly, there is a problem of developing quality EER that could meet the individual needs of all individuals. The authors also draw attention to the difficulties and their causes that arise during the organization of e-learning for participants in the educational process (teachers, students, parents). It is substantiated that distance learning technologies provide equal rights for education and future profession to persons with special educational needs, which is especially relevant during a pandemic. It is determined that the main effectiveness of the use of distance technologies for training people with SEN depends on the methods and models of distance learning, and analyzed its main stages. Significant success of distance education in an inclusive educational environment depends on the means and interaction of participants in the educational process. The practical experience of using the Moodle distance platform in the process of organizing e-learning for people with special educational needs is summarized.

The article considers the results of the all-Ukrainian monitoring study on the implementation of NUS in the context of inclusive education for children with special educational needs in general secondary education on the example of primary school, which for the second year implements the New Ukrainian School Concept. We consider the organization of inclusive education in general secondary education institutions through the prism of educational indicators developed by the researchers. The developed indicators record the state of the organization of inclusive education in general secondary education institutions. We chose the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, adopted by the United Nations in 2006, as the basis for the development of indicators. The educational indicators presented in the article cover two areas of organization of the educational process in accordance with the needs of children with special educational needs: indicators of the organization of the educational process and indicators of the organization of educational activities. For the first direction, for example, the following indicators are proposed: the number of teacher assistants per child with special educational needs, for the second direction – the teacher’s willingness to work in the classroom with children with special educational needs. We form the first group of indicators from statistical data obtained from the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, the second group – from statistical and analytical data collected during monitoring studies. The results of the monitoring study are considered in the context of the educational indicators we have presented, which will allow education authorities to obtain objective information on a given issue and to make informed management decisions to improve the organization of inclusive education for children with special educational needs. Thus, it was found that the provisions of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities have not yet been fully implemented in the educational process of general secondary education institutions. Both the provision of «smart accommodation» and quality education for children with special educational needs – these issues remain relevant and open today. And this in turn requires the organization of additional research on the organization of inclusive education in general secondary education institutions.

The problem of ensuring equal access to quality higher education and a supportive learning environment for people with permanent disabilities is a question of present interest worldwide. It is well known that although the number of students with special educational needs in higher education has increased over the last 10 years, many of them fail to complete educational level because of the many difficulties and barriers they face during their studies. It is quite natural to look for ways to create adequate conditions for their training and to overcome obstacles and difficulties that have arisen. Over the last decade, there has been a trend towards an increasing use of modern information and communication technologies, and in particular electronic learning resources, in the educational process, which creates prerequisites for increasing the accessibility of education for students with special educational needs. It also provides significantly more opportunities in the field of flexibility, adaptability and opportunities for personalization to the individual needs, interests and learning style of each individual learner. Undoubtedly, this is an important condition for achieving greater self-dependence and independence in learning, which in turn are crucial for the successful learning and academic achievement of students with special educational needs. It is important for the teaching staff to have knowledge of the specific needs of this heterogeneous group of students and the skills to create and adequately deliver the content through quality electronic resources, as well as to critically evaluate and select those created by other authors. This report presents a study of the problem of implementation of electronic resources by the tutors of Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski” in the process of teaching students with different types of disorders. A survey of 199 faculty members from different faculties found that the faculties had some experience in creating and adapting electronic resources, as well as using those created by other authors, but despite the high level of digital skills there are deficiencies in the knowledge of professors in training disabled students and in the availability of sufficient technological skills and competences for developing e-content intended to meet the specifics needs of students with different disabilities. The results of the study will help to make specific decisions at institutional level to support and enhance the qualifications of the academic staff of the Sofia University to use electronic resources in the specific context of teaching students with different types of disabilities.The report outlines future areas of study in the field of these issues and underlines specific current problems that need to be addressed.

Pedagogical experience testifies to the positive introduction of the practice of inclusive education of pupils with special educational needs into the educational process, in particular during learning foreign languages. The purpose of the academic paper is to reveal the features of learning foreign languages at school under the conditions of an inclusive education. The following methods have been used in the scientific article, namely: the methods of theoretical analysis, the method of decomposition analysis, the method of induction, the method of analogy, the method of comparison, the method of scientific abstraction, the method of description, the method of observation, the method of measurement, the method of modeling. It has been found that pupils with special educational needs are actively involved in the educational process of educational institutions, including schools. It has been established that the rights of people with disabilities, including pupils with special educational needs, are governed by the provisions of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages. It has been established that in the United Kingdom, in particular in England and Wales, there is a program which stipulates that all students, in particular those with special educational needs, should take a foreign language course. It has been proven that there is a special course in Scotland, which provides opportunities for pupils with special educational needs to learn a modern language while studying at the secondary school. It has been established that an active policy of attracting pupils with special educational needs to study at secondary schools has been operating in Finland. It has been found that in Germany, the law establishes rules for the inclusion of students with special educational needs in the general education system. The practice of inclusive education in the USA has revealed that during the 2017/2018 academic year, almost 7 million persons received special education between the ages of 3 and 21.

Freedom, autonomy and responsibility are the ends of every educational process, especially in the modern society: globalized, rapid, in transformation; society in which each one of us is called to make numerous choices. Therefore, it is urgent to educate to choose and educate to the choice, so that young people can emancipate themselves from possible conditionings. To this end, the Montessori method represents a privileged way: child is free to choose his own activity and learns "to do by himself" soon; the teacher prepares the environment and the materials that allow the student to satisfy the educational needs of each period of inner development. Then, Montessori gives importance to adolescence because it is during this period that grows the social man. Consequently, it is important to reform the secondary school in order to acquire the autonomy that each student will apply to the subsequent school grades and to all areas of life

The ideas of the article are based on the high social significance of discussing the practices of inclusive interaction in various spheres of life and ensuring the variability of approaches to the integration of children with special educational needs into the general education system. On the basis of the environmental approach in education, presented in the works of domestic and foreign authors, the basic principles are outlined and the general difficulties of the functioning of inclusive practice at the present stage are identified. The strategy of applying the vector approach to the examination and modeling of the environment of inclusive interaction and designing ways to improve it for the organization of psychological and pedagogical support of the educational process in school is justified. On the basis of the generalized results of the survey of teachers who organize the education of children with disabilities in non-specialized classes, the features and the type of relations that are currently developing in the joint education of schoolchildren with different educational needs during their integration into a single educational space are characterized. Using the methodology of psychological and pedagogical expertise of the school environment, the typification of the most characteristic influences exerted at modern schools on a child with a developmental disorder is carried out. The emerging dominant modality of the educational environment, its orientation to the development of relationships between teachers and peers, based on the priority of stimulating the activity of the individual with different degrees of manifestation of its freedom or dependence, is revealed. The article describes potential capabilities of each of the diagnosed types of environment in terms of its resources for ensuring freedom of choice of activities, stimulating activity, developing students' independence, and forming their personal characteristics. The diagnosed priority of creative and career-oriented orientation allowed us to draw conclusions about the currently established approaches to the inclusion of children with deviant development in the environment of normotypic peers.

The article describes the prerequisites for the creation and implementation of an inclusive educational environment in higher education settings in Ukraine. Contradictions have been identified between the legal framework governing higher education for students with special educational needs and the lack of appropriate physical and psychological conditions for the realization of the right to education, and the contradiction between the existence of a tendency to integrate the educational process and the need to individualize the educational process. It is determined that the state of development of inclusive education in Ukraine is characterized by insufficient development of both social and acmeological mechanisms of interaction of key figures of the educational process. The types of inclusive education implemented by higher education institutions are described. The experience of implementation of inclusive educational policy at Lviv Polytechnic National University and the University "Ukraine" is considered. The author's development of the model of acmeological interaction of participants of the inclusive process in the inclusive educational environment is presented, and the criteria and indicators of evaluation of the interaction of the participants of the inclusive process in the inclusive educational environment are explained. It was found that a serious obstacle to the introduction of inclusive higher education in Ukraine is the lack of financial capacity of universities: there is no equipped environment, there are no special programs aimed at such education. Conclusions are made regarding the importance of acmeological interaction of participants in the inclusive process in an inclusive educational environment, which is not only to improve the situation of students with special educational needs but also to create positive aspects of social development in general.

Abstract. The article analyzes the teachers᾿ readiness to work in field of inclusive education. It is emphasized that in the context of educational reforms, the question of the feasibility of introducing inclusive education has become acute. This involves educating children with disabilities in comprehensive schools and kindergartens ‒ together with peers who are developing normally. According to the content of the modern national education model, it is assumed that the number of people with disabilities who get educational services in public institutions will increase. At the same time, in accordance with the national action strategy in the interests of children, it is planned to reduce the number of children with disabilities who remained outside the education system, for some objective reasons. Accordingly, it requires new demands on teachers, requires the expansion of their functional responsibilities, changes in professionally significant and personal characteristics. Modern society makes new demands on teachers ‒ the willingness and ability to teach all children without exceptions, regardless of their inclinations, abilities and disabilities. At the same time, the widespread use of a new category of children in kindergartens and secondary schools has led to changes in the teachers᾿ working conditions. The range of teachers᾿ pedagogical interests has significantly expanded. There is a social demand for updating the content of professional training, which includes issues of inclusive education. As a result of the conducted empirical research showed mostly the average, and also low readiness level for work in the inclusive education conditions. The respondents revealed interest in the education problems and raising children with disabilities together with their healthy peers, but just a small number of teachers are willing to work in these conditions. The reason is the lack of knowledges about the peculiarities of the children development, their special educational needs and the pace of progress in the educational process.
