Az irodalmi alkotások jól alkalmazhatók az oktatásban arra, hogy a tanulók megismerkedjenek a társadalom sokszínűségével és annak kulturális összefüggéseivel, amennyiben megfelelően ábrázolják ezeket a társadalmi csoportokat. Jelen írás célja, hogy a tartalomelemzés módszerével feltárja és elemezze a magyar általános iskolák tananyagához kapcsolódó irodalmi szemelvénye fogyatékossággal kapcsolatos tartalmait. A kutatás eredményei rávilágítanak, hogy a vizsgált irodalmi szemelvényekben a fogyatékossággal élő szereplők rendkívül alulreprezentáltak és sztereotip módon ábrázoltak, ezáltal erősíthetik a tanulók fogyatékossággal élő emberekkel kapcsolatos előítéleteit, így feldolgozásukkor hangsúlyt kell fektetni a sztereotip tartalmak tisztázására. Summary. Literary works are a readily available resource in education to help students learn about the diversity of society and its cultural contexts, as long as they depict these social groups appropriately.

One important change is that there is an increasing number of opportunities for students with disabilities and their peers to be grouped for learning. However, equity in access does not guarantee equity in outcomes in terms that nondisabled students will become accepting the ones who have disabilities. Therefore, there is a need for intervention that facilitates the acceptance of students with disabilities. In an educational setting, youth literature can provide an easily accessible resource that helps students to become familiar with the diversity of society and its social and cultural contexts. These literary works, serving as a link between curriculum content and social perception, can affect the readers' self-image, interpersonal sensitivity and opinion toward different minority groups and social problems. It is therefore important that literary works do not contain biased content, or, if they do, textbooks or teachers should provide an opportunity for discussion of them. The research examined the representation of disability found within youth literature that is employed to support the Hungarian National Curriculum. The study employed content analysis to identify different recurring patterns of the disability conception within the content of youth literature in primary education by using a code system which was based on Biklen and Bogdan's (1977) stereotypes categories. The analysis of the data resulted in a number of findings, which have been grouped into individual themes including exclusion, the portrayal of characters with disabilities as an 'object of evil', or as an 'object of violence', as well as the elimination of people with disabilities as the solution of the 'happily ever after' story ending. In addition, in the literary works examined there is a severe lack of appropriate images of people with disabilities presented in everyday situations, as a part of a given socio-cultural environment. These negative representations lead us to question the continued uncritical use of these literary works with students at primary schools as part of our National Core Curriculum. We suggest that such exclusionary and stereotypical storylines could create negative preconceptions toward people with disability by students and could also promote the segregation of disabled people in society. Therefore, these literary works could not be applied uncritically by teachers during the lessons.

A reflektív gondolkodás elengedhetetlen kelléke a tanárok szakmai repertoárjának így a 20. század végétől a reflektivitás egyre nagyobb hangsúlyt kap a pedagógusképzésben (Kinsella, 2007; Collin, Karsenti és Komis, 2013). A tanárszakos hallgatók reflektív gondolkodásának támogatására, illetve feltárására számos módszer áll rendelkezésre mind hazai, mind nemzetközi viszonylatban. Ezeknek a tanulmányoknak szisztematikus feldolgozását célul kitűző kutatások azonban kis számban vannak csak jelen a hazai szakirodalomban. Jelen tanulmány, a reflektív naplónak, mint a reflektivitás egyik hatékony eszközének tanárképzésben való alkalmazási lehetőségeit tárja fel a s...
