Tyrime laikomasi kokybinio tyrimo metodologinių nuostatų. Pristatomi pusiau struktūruoto mokinių individualaus interviu metodu surinkti duomenys. Tyrime išryškėja mokinių nuomonės apie ugdymosi specialiojo ir bendrojo ugdymo mokyklose galimybes ir ribotumus, požiūris į mokymąsi, atskleidžiami psichosocialinės aplinkos specialiosiose mokyklose ypatumai. Esminiai žodžiai: mokiniai, turintys specialiųjų ugdymosi poreikių, dideli specialieji ugdymosi poreikiai, ugdymosi specialiojo ugdymo įstaigoje patirtys, inkliuzinio ugdymo kontekstas. Įvadas Problemos aktualumas. Pastaraisiais dešimtmečiais Europos šalių ir JAV švietimo sistemų siekiamybė-inkliuzinis ugdymas, tačiau išlieka ir kontroversiškai vertinama problema-specialiųjų mokyklų vaidmuo inkliuzinio ugdymo kontekste. Svarstymai apie švietimo struktūrą, kuriems mokiniams ir kur turėtų būti teikiama pagalba, kaip jie turėtų būti mokomi, buvo ir tebėra nuolatiniai specialiojo ugdymo klausimai. Inkliuzinis ugdymas nereiškia, kad ankstesnių dešimtmečių "integracijos" politika tęsiasi (Powell, 2009). Inkliuziniu ugdymu siekiama pertvarkyti švietimą taip, kad apimtų visas besimokančiųjų įvairovės kategorijas-negalios, socialinės klasės, lyties, etninės ir tautinės kilmės, seksualinės orientacijos, religijos-ir besimokančiųjų įvairovės plėtra taptų švietimo reformavimo pagrindu (Booth ir Ainscow, 2002).

Research paper thumbnail of Diversity and inclusion. Shared meanings between Italy and Lithuania. International comparative analysis of inclusive trajectories in eduvational policies and practices

EDUCATION SCIENCES AND SOCIETY

The concept of inclusive education concerns proper and appropriately agreed terminology and meanings expressed in the 2006 UN Convention ratifying the need of recognizing the same rights for all individuals, as human beings, beyond stigma and categorising labels. In this article we examine the Italian and Lithuanian inclusive systems, within the paradigm of social constructivism and the contribution of both national and international scientific literature referring to bio-psycho-social pedagogical meanings. In order to reveal the developments towards inclusive education in two countries contexts, the methodology of this article is based on the relevant literature, document and research reports review.

The phenomenon was revealed through focus group discussions with the teachers of forms 5 to 8, educational assistance professionals, and school leaders from 23 schools (n-175), as well as through the material of depersonalized deliberations of the students, provided by the teachers.The process of quality content analysis of the research material highlighted the phenomenon of student withdrawal when learning remotely, and its following stages: partial or episodic self-removal from the lesson; muting; invisibility; confusion; demotivation; apathy; loss of social connections; exhaustion; helplessness, and complete withdrawal. The following external reasons prompting the emergence of the withdrawal phenomenon in students under the critical conditions of COVID-19 pandemic were id...

The withdrawal phenomenon was revealed by a qualitative study involving mixed groups of teachers, support specialists, and managers in 23 schools (236 participants in total). The focus group discussion method was used for data collection, and inductive content analysis was applied for data analysis. The results revealed the following stages of the deepening of withdrawal phenomenon: partial or occasional withdrawal; silencing, invisibility, confusion; demotivation and apathy; imitation of participation; loss of social connections; exhaustion, helplessness, and complete withdrawal. The withdrawal phenomenon has been triggered by the sudden shift from eye-to-eye to distance learning without prior preparation, as well as by the digital divide of students with learning difficulties due to a lack of digital skills or the slow development of digital skills in the absence of contact support.

From the students' point of view, it was found that main barriers for inclusive school culture and practice were: noisy physical environment at school, bullying; inefficient organization of teaching, too difficult and irrelevant learning content; students’ intolerance to diversity and segregationist and discriminatory attitudes toward peers who do not conform to “normality” standards; not managed discipline and behavioural problems in the classroom, discrimination and the practice of exclusion of some groups of pupil; lack of teachers’ respectful and equal communication, cooperation, lack of effective teaching competences. Resources of the inclusive school culture and practice are: assurance of a favourable physical and emotional environment; organization of education, when the curriculum corresponds to the student’s abilities, interests and is available to everyone; students are provided with the opportunity to build friendship relationships, and acknowledge diversity; students’ involvement in decision-makingEdukologijos tyrimų institutasVytauto Didžiojo universitetasŠiaulių universiteta

Dieses Ziel wird durch die Anerkennung des Menschenrechts auf Bildung für alle und die Vision einer demokratischen Gesellschaft unterstützt, die Vielfalt in all ihren Facetten wertschätzt. Die Förderung angesichts der Vielfalt der Schüler*innen mit dem Ziel der Verbesserung des Lernens aller, bleibt für Lehrer*innen in allen nationalen Kontexten eine herausfordernde Aufgabe, da sowohl die gemeinsame Bildung für alle ausgeweitet als auch inklusive Bildung universell werden soll. Die erfolgreiche Unterstützung verschiedener Schüler*innen in ihren Lernprozessen gilt seit Jahrzehnten als das Herzstück einer ausgezeichneten Pädagogik. Dennoch finden wir in ganz Europa signifikante, persistente Unterschiede, sowohl hinsichtlich des Umfangs als auch der Qualität der inklusiven Schulbildung, die auf einer Reihe von institutionalisierten Strukturen und Kulturen beruhen und sich unter anderem in organisatorischen Rahmenbedingungen und Lehrmethoden heterogener Bildungssysteme niederschlagen. Aufbauend auf einer dreijährigen Zusammenarbeit im Rahmen des von der Europäischen Kommission finanzierten Comenius-Netzwerkprojekts "Teaching Diverse Learners in School Subjects" (TdiverS), werden in diesem Beitrag Erkenntnisse über "inspirierende Praktiken" der inklusiven Bildung, die in den sechs teilnehmenden Ländern-Deutschland, Island, Litauen, Luxemburg, Schweden und Spanien-gefunden wurden, zusammengefasst. Trotz erheblicher Unterschiede in den Bildungssystemen in Europa sind überall inklusive Bildungspraktiken zu finden. Bei den Schulhospitationen fanden wir inspirierende Inklusionspraktiken in allen Ländern, auch wenn diese durchaus sehr differente Niveaus der (inklusiven) Bildungssysteme aufweisen.

One of possible ways is personalized learning (PL). It is a new concept in many countries around the world. PL is closely related to individualized, differentiated learning, inclusive education principles (Abbot, 2014; EDUCAUSE, 2013). PL builds on an understanding of learner: individual development, seeking of personal goals, taking into consideration individual differences and inclusion. PL “challenges teachers to search for pedagogy and practices that will help them addressing diversity in their classroom” (Guðjónsdóttir, 2000, p.9). Different methods and tools (e-tools as well) might be used for PL such as digital storytelling, three step interview, e-portfolio.

The most evident characteristics of change in higher education is a paradigm shift from teaching towards learning and collaboration with the student at the centre. The shift from teaching to learning requires new teaching methods and strategies. The use of, and evidence behind, three related student-centred approaches to teaching has grown significantly over the past decades: problem-based learning (PBL), inquiry-based learning (IBL) and undergraduate research (Hudspith and Jenkins, 2001). IBL is a method of teaching that puts the student at the centre through a focus on real problem solving through collaborative effort. It is both an individual and a group process whilst receiving support from an experienced teacher. [...]Šiaulių universiteta

The ideology of inclusive education must be closely linked with proper and appropriately agreed terminology and concepts. Based on the paradigm of social constructivism, discussions and debates among representatives of various related structures, systems and areas both in the international and national context enable to construct social constructs with reconciled and comparable content. Otherwise, new concepts simply replace the old ones but do not change either policy or practice. In various social cultural contexts, such concepts as integration, integrated education, inclusion, inclusive education, school for all, quality education for all can be interpreted differently. This article aims to reveal the concept of inclusive education and how the content of this concept is reflected in the latest national legal documents. The article is based on the study of theoretica...
