The professional competence of a teacher and its constant improvement in the changing conditions of inclusive education contribute greatly to the learning process efficiency. To ensure the principles implementation effectiveness, teachers ought to concentrate on the organization of correctional and developmental work.

Inclusive education provides educational services based on the variation of learners potential in an educational institution. This service is very suitable for children with special needs that has unique individual characteristics. The implementation of inclusive education is currently not aligned with national schooling systems that tend to implement a standardized service system. The term of standard service is the equal treatments for each individual and the learning completeness with the benchmarks of the national standard. In relation to the condition of children with special needs, who has various limitations and learning needs, the implementation of inclusive education requires curriculum modification, learning strategy, learning assessment system and school management in accordance with the needs for children with special needs.

The article considers the problem of preparing physical education specialists for inclusive education. We investigated the legislative base of inclusive education, scientific and methodical literature on the topic. We came to the conclusion that "inclusive physical education" is a flexible, individualized system of physical education of children with special needs in the conditions of mass education. Physical education teachers are poorly informed about inclusive education, don't understand how they organize physical education work with children with special needs and most believe that inclusive children belong in special schools. The reasons for this attitude are: insufficient training in higher education institutions; imperfect system of forms of work with children with special needs; insufficient information about inclusive education in physical education classes by the administration of the educational institution. The main idea of modernization of the professional training process of physical education and sport specialists is to at least create conditions, allowing students in the educational process of higher education institution to develop innovative ideas in the conditions of inclusion. To develop creative thinking on the implementation of innovative physical education technologies. But at most, the creation of a viable pedagogical system of inclusive education, based on innovative technologies, which would provide a modern quality of training a new type of specialists, who have the knowledge, skills and abilities of an innovative teacher, a teacher-scientist.

Introduction. In 2015-2020, the number of inclusive groups in preschools and classes in secondary schools of Ukraine increased almost 7 times. For our country, inclusive education is an innovative phenomenon, so its implementation raises many problems. One of the most significant problems is low level of fire safety measures. Сhild death from fires in Ukraine exceeds the European Union numbers by more than 4 times. As children with special needs are more vulnerable during fires, research on fire safety in inclusive groups is an urgent task.The purpose of the article is to identify problematic issues of calculating the time of evacuation in case of fires in educational institutions with inclusive groups based on statistical data, regulatory framework, and modern scientific developments analysis.The current regulations governing the organization of inclusive education in preschool and secondary school have been analyzed. Building codes that set the requirements for inclusive buildings and structures have been analyzed. Standards and methods for calculating the evacuation time from buildings have been also considered. The comparative analysis of the possibilities of the modern application software intended for evacuation time calculation has been carried out. According to the analysis, the main problematic issues have been identified.Conclusion. Currently, some necessary data about children with special needs are not available. That fact doesn't allow calculating with exact accuracy the evacuation time in case of fire in educational institutions with inclusive groups. A comparative analysis of the calculations made with the help of applied computer programs shows that in most of them there is no possibility to take into account the presence of children with special needs on the premises. In some software products, where such a possibility is provided, the movement parameters of children with special needs do not differ from the movement parameters of adults with disabilities. Therefore, determining the values of the horizontal projection area of children with different special needs, as well as the study of their speeds and the influence of their presence on the intensity of the general movements is an urgent technical and scientific task that requires further experimental and theoretical research.

The article outlines the relevance of the introduction of inclusive education in the system of education of Ukraine whose success depends on the organizational and pedagogical and corrective and developmental school conditions, flexibly oriented on the individual characteristics of each child and qualitative training of future teachers to professional activities in the conditions of inclusive education. Separate aspects of professional training of future teachers in institutions of higher pedagogical education in conditions of inclusive education are presented. In particular, attention is focused on the peculiarities of organizing the process of training future educators in professional activities in the inclusive environment of institutions of general secondary education, which are that the professionalization of students takes place in the form of penetration of external (the influence of the educational environment and the participants of the educational process) into the internal (assignment of values Inclusive education and acquisition of relevant competence), from the remote space (social meaning of inclusion) in the approximate (personal meaning and Inclusion experience). In accordance with the principle of continuity, the stages of organizing the process of preparation of future teachers to professional activity in conditions of inclusive education (motivational-value, theoretical and practical and simulation-reflexive) are determined and substantiated. Evaluating the efforts of scientists in the highlighted issues, we note that the organization of the process of professional pedagogical training of teachers to work in an inclusive educational environment requires the substantiation of the relevant pedagogical conditions, which is a prospect of further scientific search.
