The article notes that in recent years Ukraine has identified new priorities for the development of its education system. Since 2018, the concept of the New Ukrainian School has been introduced in general secondary education institutions. There has been created an appropriate legal framework, and practical reforms in the field of education have begun, i.e. the Ukrainian school must change radically. One of the priorities of the state's development is inclusive education, which is one of the main factors in reforming the system of institutional care and upbringing of children in Ukraine. This means that in general educational institutions in classrooms different children will learn and interact together, including children with special educational needs. The goal of educational institutions is the all-round development of any child, creating conditions for the assimilation of effective models of behavior with peers, taking into account all the features of the development of each individual child. However, frequent occurrences of violence, bullying and a high level of conflict among peers do not allow schoolchildren to fully achieve their goals. The article considers the problems that students may face during the educational process in inclusive learing institutions; one of the issues is bullying in the children's community. The authors analyzed the legislation of Ukraine on combating bullying. They outlined the measures of preventive work of teachers to prevent bullying. As a result, the prevention of bullying in educational institutions contributes to the improvement of the microclimate in communities and the creation of a safe educational environment in educational institutions. The establishment of school services of mutual understanding and implementation of a restorative approach can improve the socio-psychological microclimate in school (or higher educational institution) communities, creating a safe environment for all participants of the educational process, because it is a well-established process of interaction between mediators, an efficient way of peacebuilding and nonviolent communication.

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.

The article highlights the organizational issues of social inclusion in modern educational institutions, ensuring equal access to education without discrimination at all levels. The author argues that inclusive education guarantees every child the right to self-realization, socialization in society, promotes the disclosure of natural abilities, obtaining the necessary help and support from parents, peers, teachers, and professionals. It is necessary to create a new culture of acceptance and social inclusion so as to allow every individual to feel a part of the community and be recognized in society. Psychological and pedagogical support is perhaps the most important for stimulating the successful provision of inclusive education. Inclusive education provides an equality-based learning environment for children with mental and physical disabilities and their healthy peers. In the focus are the main aspects of psychological and pedagogical support: the creation of a tolerant attitude to students with disorders of psychophysical development, the favorable climate in an educational institution; involvement of every child in social processes, acceptance by teachers, peers, family, and understanding the special educational needs of everyone; providing a correctional and developmental component of inclusive education. The article considers the basic principles of correctional-pedagogical work in educational institutions, emphasizing the strengths and weaknesses of this activity. The author states that the quality of the educational process largely depends on the extent to which the potential opportunities for learning and development of each child, his/her individual characteristics are taken into account and realized. 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. They have to develop a system of correctional, preventive, developmental tasks, promote the unity of diagnosis and corrective methods of psychological influence, taking into account age and individual characteristics, and active involvement of the immediate social environment. The study seeks out to identify the main problems that arise during the organization of inclusive education (shortcomings of the legal framework, funding, content of education, adaptation of secondary schools, lack of proper teachers' training, specialized textbooks, and various socio-psychological issues). The findings of the study argue that in today's rapidly changing conditions, the educational environment is not isolated from external and internal factors that can cause both positive results and generate destructive changes. A system of preventive measures is offered to ensure the successful implementation of social inclusion

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 deals with the creation of unified information-educational environment of an educational institution, requirements to it, the organization of the educational process based on it, as well as all its constituent parts presented in an educational institution. A promising field of research of the problem of information technologies usage in students' learning activities can become the experimental study of the beliefs of students, scientific-pedagogical and pedagogical staff of higher education institutions on e-learning tools and their application in the educational environment. Moreover, it is worthwhile to mention that the problem of effective use of modern ICT disciplines is studied by many professors of higher educational institutions. However, its incorrect usage leads to the substitution of the learning objectives. Nowadays it is possible to reduce the educational process in universities not only by knowledge mastering, but also teaching students to learn and apply their new knowledge and information as effective, as it is possible. Numerous theoretical and practical research characteristics of the information technology in the students’ educational process claim that this approach is a response to students’ social demands and needs, since it contributes to the formation of professional competence of future professionals. One of the most important factors that significantly effects the quality of education is the usage of modern information technologies. Modern graduate students should have special professional tools and solve working problems, using information systems. Thus, the introduction of innovative information technologies in higher educational institutions enables future professionals to expand their potential abilities and encourages active learning.

The increasing fisibility of the children with disability or special needs enhanced the debate and efforts for a new philosohy related to the treatment‎ of disability problematics in general and, especially, to their education. The concept of diasbility has evolved to a model of integration and social inclusion, especially the social ‎inclusion of children with disability in common schools‎. The law 'On the protection from discrimination' prohibits discrimination on grounds of disability, and refusal of registration in an educational institution because of this ground. Furthermore, this law provides the obligation of statal institutions to take positive measures to make possible the enhance of education of vulnerable groups, including children with disability or special needs. These provisions would lack if not accompanied with the creation of a legal framework that explicitly provide for this inclusion philosophy and create the proper mechanisms to make it applicable. It is evident the indispensability of a multi-dimensional treatment of this problematic, that requires also the collaboration of many actors.‎ ‎The innovative stands just in the creation of mechanisms that would make possible such an inclusion. This process requires directors of educational institutions and active and teachers, devoted on the integration of children with disability in every aspect of teaching and educational process.

Information And Communication

The article raises the issue of application of information and communication technologies in the inclusive environment of the educational institution. It is proved that such an environment is formed as a result of an individual adaptation of educational programs, as well as with the use in the educational process of information and communication technologies that allow the perception and transmission of educational information in an accessible form for all students. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the relevance and features of the use of information and communication technologies in an inclusive educational environment of the educational institution. In the process of scientific research we used the following research methods: analysis, synthesis, generalization, systematization. Results of the research. The key ways in which information and communication technologies can support educational opportunities for people with disabilities are as follows: determining the previous level of personal development (skills and abilities); providing assistance in personal development, forming new skills or updating existing ones; improving access to information; overcoming geographical or social isolation through digital communications; increase motivation and awareness of the benefits of information and communication technologies. It is determined that the main types of information and communication technology used to teach children with special educational needs are: standard technologies (for example, computers with built-in settings for people with special educational needs); available data formats, also known as alternative formats (for example, available HTML, say books DAISY system (Digital Accessibility Information System ‒ electronic accessible information system), as well as “low-tech” formats such as Braille; assistive technologies: hearing aids, screen readers, keyboards, etc. Assistive technologies are devices, products, equipment, software, or services designed to enhance, support, or improve the functionality of people with disabilities. Taking into account the didactic capabilities of information and communication technologies, as well as the needs and demands of inclusive education, three key functions that perform information and communication technologies in inclusive education are formulated: compensatory, didactic, communication. Necessary conditions for the introduction of information and communication technologies in the educational process are the availability of material and system-technical support, as well as the availability of appropriate professional competencies of teachers. Keywords: information and communication technologies, inclusive education, inclusive environment, audio lecture, audio simulator, compensatory function, standard technologies, auxiliary technologies.
