Transition To Secondary Education

The gap between the skills of students with special educational needs (SEN) and learning requirements is widening as they move from primary to secondary education. The purpose of this research is to implement and evaluate the pedagogical tool "Targeted, Individual, Structured, and Integrated Program for Students with Special Educational Needs" (TISIPfSENs), through which a special teaching methodology is proposed for the reading support of students with SEN. The methodology applied was mixed and lasted 5 years in 5 general Greek secondary schools. The study sample consisted of students with neurodevelopmental disorders (N = 10) and adults (N = 130) who encountered them learning, therapeutically, and socially. The qualitative data were collected in the context of the action research with the utilization of observation and intervention tools, while the quantitative data were collected from an unbalanced questionnaire. The results showed that "TISIPfSENs" supports students with neurodevelopmental disorders in reading skills during their transition to secondary education. The findings showed that students can actively participate in the general learning process, provided that the intervention is governed by certain principles, such as individualization of teaching, structuring of teaching methodology in certain phases, informal pedagogical assessment, and differentiation activities for the cultivation of neurodevelopmental areas. Keywords: School transition, TISIPfSENs, neurodevelopmental disorders, reading skills, secondary school teaching methodology

Resumen. El siguiente artículo es una descripción interpretativa de una experiencia basada en la realización de un taller de técnicas de reproducción escultórica a partir de moldes de alginato, dirigido al alumnado con necesidades educativas especiales del Programa Específico de Formación Profesional Básica (PEFPB), realizado en un instituto de enseñanza secundaria. Se ha llevado a la práctica una metodología de interacción colectiva, monitorizada por los profesores del centro, en la que se ha empleado alginato dental como material para la confección de moldes, el cual, al ofrecer unas cualidades de copia excepcionales, permite al alumnado experimentar de manera manipulativa y visual todos los cambios que la materia comprende desde el proceso de mezcla de polvo y agua hasta la obtención de la reproducción. Las introducciones y explicaciones impartidas han sido simplificadas para obtener una mejor lectura y comprensión por parte del alumnado, introduciendo como ejemplo imágenes de obras escultóricas obtenidas mediante este procedimiento artístico. Además, se han realizado pequeñas demostraciones previas a la actividad para que el alumnado analice de forma visual cómo se manipula la materia, planteando como objetivo la reproducción de su propia mano en escayola. Cuando los conceptos y lenguajes artísticos se adaptan a las capacidades y necesidades del alumnado, hacen del aula un lugar de integración y cooperación, en el que los alumnos se introducen en experiencias visuales y manipulativas con las que descubren nuevos mecanismos de expresión. Palabras clave: integración, discapacidad, escultura, alginato, moldes, autoestima. Abstract: The following article is an interpretative description of a workshop devoted to sculpture reproduction based on alginate moulds addressed to students with special educational needs within the Specific Programme of Basic Vocational Training at a secondary education high-school. This workshop, supervised by teachers at the high-school, was performed following an interactional collective approach and using dental alginate for the production of moulds. Offering exceptional reproduction features, this material allowed the students to participate in a sensorial experience by means of the observation of all the changes that it suffers; from the mixing of alginate powder and water to the composition of the reproduction itself. The instructions and explanations given were simplified to obtain a better understanding of the students. Different images showing examples of sculpture works obtained by means of this technique were also provided. I addition, prior demonstrations were carried out so that the students could visually analyse how the material should be handled, suggesting the making of a plaster reproduction of their own hands. When concepts and artistic languages meet the student’s needs and capacities, they make the classroom a place for integration and cooperation where students live sensorial experiences which help them discover new ways of expression. key words: integration, disability, sculpture, alginate, molds, self-esteem.   DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7203/eari.10.14228

The article is devoted to the issues of improving the administrative and legal regulation of inclusive education in institutions of preschool education and secondary education instituions in Ukraine. Addressing this topic is certainly relevant due to the fact that, firstly, inclusive education is a new institution for Ukrainian society and a real challenge for children, teachers and the legislator. Secondly, in the science of domestic administrative law there is no comprehensive study of Ukrainian sources of law in the field of inclusive education, which would also fully identify the challenges of this field. Thirdly, administrative and legal acts in the field of inclusive education, unfortunately, do not correspond to reality, have gaps in both the field of law and in the field of pedagogy. The authors set themselves the following tasks: to analyze the sources of law governing relations arising in the field of inclusive education in Ukraine; highlight the current challenges of the inclusive education in Ukraine and make suggestions on ways to overcome them. The methodology of this article includes: the method of analysis and synthesis, the systemic and functional approach, the historical method, abstraction, the comparative method, explanations, research interviews, modeling and forecasting methods. So, the authors of the article translated and studied the legislation of the State of Israel as a progressive country in the field of inclusion. To achieve the main goal of the research it was also conducted a survey among the heads of educational institutions in the city of Odessa, where currently inclusive groups or classes are functioning. This has identified challenges such as gaps in the most legally established procedure for opening inclusive groups and classes; providing schools and kindergartens with assistants who should help educators /teachers and children with special educational needs; the question of the number of children with special educational needs in a group or class and the nature of nosologies. Having studied each of the challenges in detail, the authors proposed appropriate changes and additions to the current legislation, which are detailed in the comparative tables. The conclusions of the article can be used both in research work for the further development of Ukrainian administrative law and in national lawmaking by making appropriate changes to Ukrainian legislation and the adoption of relevant legal acts regulating important issues in the field of inclusive education.

ABSTRACT Objective To assess the diagnostic status, the sociodemographic and health profiles for students with special educational needs (SEN) in a public educational system, and to map their use of educational/social services. Methods The sample comprised 1,202 SEN students from a total of 59,344 students. Results Only 792 students of the 1,202 had an established diagnosis. The most prevalent SEN condition was intellectual disability. There was a low percentage (29.4%) of use of specialized educational services or support. It was found that, for some neurodevelopmental disorders, prevalence data suggest an under-reporting in the school system. Conclusion Results suggest that there is a mismatch between the diagnostic reports and the SEN condition legally recognized according to Brazilian law, in addition to the under-reporting and under specialized service use of students with disabilities.
