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.

This paper presents the description of the students perceptions of the Central University of Ecuador regarding the inclusive education in the university context. The data collection was carried out through the analysis of 10 life histories of students with special educational needs associated with disabilities and situations of vulnerability, and 48 interviews applied to two students of each faculty of the aforementioned institution. The data was analyzed with Atlas Ti software. 8.0. The results reveal that in the research context there has been an important integration of students with special educational needs associated or not with disability. However, due to inherent limitations of policies, cultures and inclusive practices; socio-educational relationships and interrelationships are generally fragmented, traditional and homogenizing, same that with a view to a supposed regularity, in practice, are highly exclusive. The researchers affirm that their interests, motivations and needs are met in a limited way in the university context. Since the curriculum is inflexible and the physical facilities are not very accessible, they have to adapt to contexts and processes by making immeasurable efforts. Keywords: inclusive education, inclusive policies, inclusive cultures, inclusive practices, higher education.

Введение. Проблема повышения качества образования актуализирует вопросы оценки и развития образовательных условий в образовательных организациях в целях обеспечения равных образовательных возможностей для всех обучающихся. Материал и методы. Исследование образовательной среды московских школ осуществлено с применением международной шкалы SACERS на рандомной выборке из 58 структурных подразделений образовательных комплексов, расположенных в восьми административных округах города Москвы. Результаты и обсуждение. Данные, полученные в ходе исследования образовательной среды, свидетельствуют о достаточном потенциале московских школ в плане взаимодействия между субъектами образовательного процесса, положительных тенденциях в обеспечении вариативности программ дополнительного образования и внеурочной деятельности, благоприятных условиях, созданных в системе московского образования в плане профессионального развития педагогов. При этом в московских образовательных учреждениях имеются ограничения в плане обеспечения необходимыми условиями обучения и развития обучающихся с особыми образовательными потребностями. Установлено, что школы разных районов Москвы и даже корпусов одного образовательного комплекса различаются в плане обеспечения равными образовательными условиями. Наибольшие различия выявлены в таких компонентах образовательной среды, как организация внеурочной деятельности, дополнительного образования и предметной среды для различных видов деятельности, создание условий для обучения и развития обучающихся с особыми образовательными потребностями. В школах с более высоким индексом качества образовательной среды имеются достаточно однородные образовательные условия, которые обеспечивают относительно равный доступ к качественному образованию в сравнении с группой структурных подразделений с менее высоким индексом качества образовательной среды. Заключение. Качество образовательной среды московских школ обеспечивается содержательными компонентами, связанными со взаимодействием участников образовательного процесса, организацией учебного процесса и созданием условий для профессионального развития педагогов. Различия в сравниваемых образовательных организациях, определяющие неоднородность образовательных условий, связаны с такими характеристиками, как вариативность или единообразие в использовании ресурсов, наличие ресурса или его активное использование, систематичность работы или фрагментарность, ориентация на нормы контроля.Introduction. The problem of improving the quality of education actualizes the issues of assessment and development of the educational conditions in educational organizations in order to ensure the equal educational opportunities for all students. Material and methods. We used the SACERS international scales for studying the educational environment in Moscow schools. Located in eight areas of Moscow 58 structural units of educational complexes (sample) took part in the survey. Results and discussion. Such items as interaction between the parents, the teachers and the administration of the school, the variability of the education programs and extracurricular activities, good conditions for the professional teachers’ development showed the great result. At the same time, there are some confines in providing the necessary conditions for training and development for the students with special educational needs. It was established that schools differ in providing equal educational conditions. The greatest differences are in such components of the educational environment as the organization of extracurricular activities, additional education and the subject environment for various types of activities, the creation of conditions for training and development of the students with special educational needs. Schools with a higher quality index of the educational environment have homogeneous educational conditions that provide relatively equal access to the quality education in comparison with the group of schools with a lower quality index of the educational environment. Conclusion. The quality of the educational environment in Moscow schools achieved in the participants’ interaction in the educational process, the organization of the educational process and the creation of the conditions for the professional development for teachers.
