When students with special educational needs (SEN) started to be educated in inclusive classrooms of the mainstream school, some issues concerning the organisation of the process of (self) education in the subject World Study came to the fore. The present research aims at revealing the views of mainstream primary school teachers on the difficulties of preparation for the classes on World Study and the process of organisation of (self) education, when students with SEN are educated in the same classroom. 62 mainstream primary school teachers took part in the research. The survey was conducted on the basis of a special questionnaire. It was established that half of the research participants expressed the opinion that they experience difficulties in preparing for the World Study classes in inclusive classrooms. The difficulties are in adapting the content of education, in the choice of teaching aids and methods, in preparing tasks for independent study. The difficulties caused by the preparation for World Study in inclusive classrooms, in teachers’ opinion, are related more to the education of different ability students, provision of individual support, combining teaching methods, giving attention to the student and stimulation of motivation. It is more difficult to give attention to every student with the greater number of students with SEN. The process of education is also made more difficult due to the fact that students with SEN are seldom active and very rarely can work independently. Key words: primary school teachers, students with special educational needs (SEN), inclusive education, world study.

The purpose of this study is to identify how primary school teachers understand the importance of inclusive education and the benefits of the collaboration between the class teachers and the support teachers. In order to identify the social representations of primary school teachers regarding the cooperation with the support teachers, we have used a questionnaire-based inquiry. We have organised the data into a case study at the level of primary school education. The responses to the open questions offered by the investigated teachers allowed a dramaturgical approach to the roles and the responsibilities of the actors in special education. Our results enhance the benefits of integration of students with special educational needs in the conditions of a distributed responsibility between parents, class teachers and support teachers. Therefore, the qualitative analysis of the written responses of primary school teachers reveals the need of continuous training in aspects related to special educational needs. Keywords: Special educational needs, support teachers, primary school education.

One of the key competences of the New Ukrainian School is communication in native and state languages, in particular, the ability to freely express one’s own opinion, the ability to use language in the field of culture. Since the New Ukrainian School provides inclusive education for students with intellectual disabilities, teachers must have knowledge about the level of speech development of such students, its specifics. Junior schoolchildren with intellectual disabilities have a difficult transition to self-expression; own speech is insufficiently developed, fragmentary; the monologue often consists of logically unconnected parts; existing vocabulary poverty, undifferentiated understanding and use of familiar words; the construction of a coherent statement is disturbed. Underdevelopment of coherent speech affects the entire mental development of such children, the effectiveness of their learning, communication. The monologue speech of first-graders with mild intellectual disabilities was investigated, which showed their ability to perform tasks related to reliance on plot drawings or suggested words; assignments to compose one sentence than to compose stories based on a plot drawing or a series of plot drawings. Primary school teachers of inclusive schools assessed the monologue speech of their students and highlighted difficulties in their speech, not being sufficiently aware of the impact of correctional tasks in the children being taught on the development of coherent speech. Consequently, speech development of children with intellectual disabilities requires special interrelated correctional work of primary school teachers and speech therapists.

Education reform in Ukraine is a necessary condition for the training of highly qualified specialists. This also applies to inclusive education. Modernization and renewal of the educational system of Ukraine is provided through the introduction of new technologies. It is the latest technologies that contribute to the quality training of primary school teachers. A special place in such training is the training of teachers who are able to work in an inclusive environment. The problem of working with children with abnormalities in physiological and physical development is relevant. Its relevance is explained by the fact that in Ukraine an increasing number of children with various disabilities are born. There are many reasons for this, but teachers need to prepare children for life, for professional realization. Their preparation requires specific methods and tools of teaching and education. Therefore, the aim of the study is to identify effective ways of quality training of future teachers to work in an inclusive environment. The following methods were used to study the readiness of future teachers to work in an inclusive environment: theoretical − synthesis, analysis, generalization; empirical - observations, conversations, questionnaires, testing, interviews, surveys, pedagogical experiment (ascertaining and formative); methods of mathematical statistics (Fisher’s F-test). The results of the study are to determine the specifics of the preparation of primary school teachers to work in an inclusive environment to develop ways to improve such training. The further directions of research: improvement of educational programs, development of modern techniques of the personal plan, developing scenarios of various games.

Children with disabilities in South-Eastern Nigeria face problems of isolation. This study investigated the roles of conscientious personality and work experience in predicting teachers’ attitude towards inclusive education. Participants included 196 primary school teachers who were selected randomly from 6 primary schools in Enugu, South-Eastern Nigeria. The age of the teachers ranged from 27-51 years (Mean age = 41.85 years; Standard Deviation = 4.63). Results showed that conscientious personality and work experience positively predicted primary school teachers’ attitude towards inclusive education. The results were discussed in terms of determining work-related attributes necessary for improving access to education among children with disabilities. The limitation of the study and recommendation for future research were highlighted.
