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.

Primary School Teachers

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.

Attitudes Toward Teaching

The purpose of this article is to explore the attitudes of preschool and primary school teachers in the inclusive education of children with special educational needs in physical education. The study involved 120 preschool teachers and 100 primary teachers. They completed a modified and adapted version of the Kudláček “Attitudes toward Teaching Individuals with Physical Disabilities in Physical Education – ATIPDPE”questionnaire. The results show that respondents' attitudes towards the inclusion of children with special educational needs in motor education are rather positive. Teachers who have experience in inclusive physical education feel more prepared and more confident in their competence to exercise it, with more inclusive attitudes. On the other hand, older participants and those with more pedagogical experience have less pronounced and less positive inclusive attitudes.

National Education

The article describes the state of psychological readiness of primary school teachers for the introduction of inclusion into the national education system. The 92,8% of pedagogical workers have been found to support the latest changes regarding inclusive education. The above points testify to the humanistic orientation of teachers to the organization of educational process involving the children with special needs. They perceive and appreciate not only the positive qualities of the students, but the person as a whole, that is, respect their dignity, recognize the right to free access to education. At the same time, the desire to work with this category of children was revealed by only 6,98% of the respondents. Reasons that prevent teachers from perceiving educational reforms, lack of information about working with special children (87,21%), lack of understanding how and how to make individual programs for children with special educational needs and implement an algorithm for its implementation (94,77%). There is also a fear of preserving the life and health of such students (97,09%), as experience proves that children with emotional and intellectual disorders do not always control their actions and threaten not only their personal health and life, but also other children. Proposals have been developed to increase the teachers' readiness to work with children with special educational needs. It is important to clearly identify the category of children with special educational needs that are able to integrate into society and minimize the individual curriculum. The future teachers need to know articles of the Law "On Education", which define the requirements for inclusive classes. It is necessary to hold trainings, master classes, consultations, round tables, webinars on problems of inclusive education for teachers. It's important to involve in the development of individual programs for children with special educational needs of defectologists, speech therapists, special correctional teacher.

The paper is covering a survey aimed to find out what is the publicity and the interest of society in people with disabilities, what is the public attitude of students towards this stigmatized group of people, are there any already formed stereotypes and positive stigmas of the people with disabilities, how to achieve their overall integration into society, i.e. starting from the family, through university and finally at work.   We carried out surveys (questionnaires) among students from the Czech Republic and Republic of Bulgaria, as for this purpose we interviewed 100 students from both countries.This work reviews the concept of a relation between people with disabilities and the students, and the positive attitude of the latter for the purpose of integration into society. This survey uses several statistical methods. This fact increases its value and in great extent increases the possibilities of obtaining adequate and credible results. As a result of the survey, we determined the following: Direct contact with people with special educational needs is more influential both for people with disabilities and for the change of attitudes towards them. Overcoming the problem with the socialization and realization of the people with disabilities, both in public and personal aspect are a positive stigma which is a motivator and generator of new attitudes. Positive stigma, positive examples and direct contact are catalysts of the social processes related to people with disabilities and stimulate attitudes of the society and the individual.
