While there was a wealth of research and documentation on meeting student learning needs in mainstream national schools, the world of international schooling appeared to have remained relatively untouched by the march towards inclusion. The motivation for this inquiry was to examine efforts to develop inclusive educational provision in the elementary department of an international school. This small-scale study gave the researcher access to an international elementary school that was considered successful in responding flexibly to the needs of all learners. As there had been little research in the area of inclusion and international schooling the theory for this study was generated from the data and from a comparison with the findings of research on inclusion in national education systems. The research aimed to identify the climate and conditions present in the primary school at the time of the research by considering how it had removed barriers to learning for three students in different levels of learning support. A qualitative approach sought to use the data to understand the context and an ‘emergent’ design combining grounded theory and a case study approach was used. A central principle of constructivist grounded theory is that of giving voice to research participants and this study incorporated the voices, views and experiences of the students alongside their parents, educators and the specialists who worked with them. Data was collected from interviews and multidisciplinary child study meetings. Interviews were carried out with the senior leadership team, the students, their parents and educators. Classroom observations were carried out to supplement interview data for the student in intensive levels of support and further data was collected from school documentation written for parents. The findings indicated that the school climate was characterised by a strong focus on learning, access and solution seeking and the conditions found to support this climate were space and resources. Space was considered in terms of the use of space and the time required to facilitate both collaboration within the wider school community and collaborative teaching practices. Resources considered at the level of school organisation included personnel, therapies, policies and procedures, and the school curriculum. The overall findings from this study indicate that inclusion in this context was a process bound up in a proactive, dynamic, continuous cycle where a focus on solution seeking, learning and access drove the cycle. Based on the findings from this small-scale study it is recommended that international schools locate inclusion in the arena of whole school development where learning, access and solution seeking drives the school development cycle. It is recognised that the emerging theory could not be divorced from the interpretations of the researcher and additional research by a diverse range of researchers, in diverse international school contexts is needed. To better inform international school leaders it is hoped that these results will become part of a larger body of research that better reflects the range of international school contexts.

The research is a qualitative exploratory. Its design is based on an ethnographic case study. The procedures for data collection were used semi structured interviews, observations spontaneous (with written journal by the researcher and photographic records), bibliographic and documentary compatible with the studied topic. The participants of this study were: blind student (main subject), a science teacher, a Special Education teacher, pedagogue and director. The research has advanced in an attempt to permeate aspects concerning science instruction and student materials for this use, interpersonal relations experienced in the school environment, the evaluation process and also to questions of orientation and mobility, so that the analyzes trampled- in a socio-historical perspective fundamentally Vygotsky, so that the social situation and the school blind child can be understood in the light of historical developments and social experiences lived by it. The understanding and analysis of educational inclusion of the blind student permeated the educational services it offered, as well as their possible participation in science classes. The view from the other subjects in this study in relation to the situation of school inclusion of this student was also the target of analysis and reflection, giving subsidies to critical reflective, with a view to improving this process and scientific enrichment of Inclusive Education from the results by this opportunity study / Este estudo se refere, primordialmente, ao entendimento da situação de inclusão escolar em relação à disciplina de Ciências do aluno cego, regularmente matriculado no 3º ano do Ensino Fundamental de uma escola municipal da cidade de Vila Velha, no estado do Espírito Santo.

Considering that learning is built from the weaving of socially constructed knowledge and the field of knowledge concerning subjectivity, this research explores the difficulties that occur with the later in the process of inclusion in the schools. Admittedly, the promise implicit in the school does not guarantee that the student learn, but the envisioning of this learning, when the student s educator discredits him, is such that the person is then not taken on as an actual student, being excluded from the transmission of knowledge, even within the school. The project implemented at the Instituto Educacional Casa Escola IECE, for the last three years, shows us that the possibility and sustainability of this envisioning is intimately linked to the subjectivity of the educator, as well as how one relates to the institutional culture. We question then, how this perspective is formed in the educator this perspective capable of denying the offer of a place as student, allowing him to advance while learning. With this in mind, we explore the paradoxical elements present in the paradigm of inclusion, as well as analyzing theoretically, through the body of conceptual psychoanalysis, the process of subjective constitution. We intend to bring to light how this process coincides with the construction of the educator s perspective of exemption from teaching the special needs students. We question, through the formative functions of subjective structuring (The Mirror Stage and the Oedipus Complex), how to form a perspective capable of promoting inclusion of special needs students in educators. Finally, we show how it is possible to bring to light, with the concepts of the I ideal and the ideal I, the subjective difficulties in the practicing instructor / A inclus?o escolar de alunos com necessidades educativas especiais (NEE) coloca-nos diante de uma pr?xis que reivindica discuss?es constantes a respeito de como efetivar esta proposta. Neste rumo, esse trabalho visa refletir sobre os impasses advindos da subjetividade do professor no processo de inclus?o escolar. Partimos da experi?ncia cl?nica de escuta de professores realizada no per?odo de 2002 a 2005, no Instituto Educacional Casa Escola. Nessa experi?ncia, balizada pela psican?lise, partimos do princ?pio que as aprendizagens se constituem no entrela?amento entre o campo dos conhecimentos socialmente constru?dos pela humanidade e o campo do saber acerca da subjetividade. Admitimos que a promessa que compete ? escola n?o diz respeito ? garantias de que o aluno venha a aprender, mas ? visada nesta aprendizagem, pois quando o professor dela se desautoriza, a pessoa n?o ? tomada como aluna, sendo exclu?da da transmiss?o dos conhecimentos, mesmo dentro da escola. Interrogamo-nos sobre como se constitui, no professor, essa visada capaz de franquear a oferta de um lugar de aluno ? pessoa com NEE, permitindo-lhe avan?ar enquanto aprendente. Para tanto, discutimos, a partir de uma revis?o hist?rica, os elementos paradoxais presentes no paradigma da inclus?o. Tamb?m analisamos teoricamente o processo de constitui??o subjetiva atrav?s do corpo conceitual psicanal?tico, focalizando, notadamente, as opera??es do Est?gio do Espelho e Complexo de ?dipo. Por fim, esse percurso nos mostrou que os conceitos de Eu Ideal e Ideal do Eu lan?am luz sobre os impasses subjetivos na pr?tica docente, a saber, o Eu Ideal sustentando o imperativo de perfei??o narc?sico convoca o imposs?vel de uma educa??o sem faltas, obliterando o processo educativo e gerando, muitas vezes, mal-estar; e o Ideal do Eu que implica num posicionamento subjetivo balizado pela falta, salientando a ancoragem simb?lica favorecedora do processo de aprendizagem

My thesis is focused on the theme "Gypsy child at the beginning of school attendace". The main aim of my thesis is to find out how gypsy pupils are able to adapt to an inclusive school. The purpose is complemented by research questions which are divided into two areas according to influencing factors. The first of the factors are internal factors, that means the ones that deal with the individual of a children in the educational process himself, then external factors which influence and participate in education of Roma pupils in primary school. Theoretical part is formed to make consistent unit with the practical part. First chapter is focused on Romas and their ethnic history. In second and third chapter we can find out more about the gypsy pupils in the beginning of school attendance. Second chapter is divided into several subchapters according to the determinants of school maturity. Fourth chapter is the basis of the whole thesis, because it is mainly focused on the gypsy pupils in the context of Czech education. This chapter is also divided into several subchapters depending on the different influences on the education of gypsy pupils. In the fifth chapter attention is paid to the work of a teacher with a gypsy pupil. In other chapters there is a summary of my knowledge from the whole of the...

This object is formed by the convergence of two thematic axs, the formation of teachers and the digital inclusion track school environment. Whereas access to technologies is not a sufficient condition for the reduction of social inequalities, the formation of teachers for the use of the so-called educational laptops arises as a fundamental aspect of PROUCA. This observation inspires the central question of this research: those formative process teachers are in schools covered by PROUCA in Goiás? On the basis of the principles of historical materialismdialectic, according to the proposed by Marx and Engels, the formative process of the teachers for the digital inclusion that occurred in the process of implantation of PROUCA in Goiás is taken as a special feature that is part of the whole that it reflects: relations material and ideological of a particular historical time. The general objective was to explain the formative processes teachers aiming to digital inclusion, track school environment, schools covered by PROUCA, in Tennessee. The research is exploratory and was performed by means of documentary analysis and field research involving the nine schools of the state of Goiás covered by the Program. It occurred between the years of 2011 and 2014, involving 55 teachers. For the treatment of the issue of digital inclusion track school environment, we highlight the contradiction to clarify the consequences of inclusion, as mere opposition to digital exclusion and social. As regards the formative processes teachers, the principle of alienation in was useful to clarify that the instrumental model adopted indicates much more adaptation of individuals to the demands of the neoliberal economy than a stand-alone formation, as it would be the foundation of action intentional teaching. The formative model was as basic assumptions the fragmentation and the hierarchy, based on an instrumental rationality. For analysis, the textual corpus emerging from exploratory research was organized in three major areas: the fragmentation that characterizes the context of training, the fragility of the concept of digital exclusion and alienation that mark the instrumental training that occurs in the bulge of PROUCA. / Esta pesquisa tem como objeto de estudo a formação de professores para a inclusão digital via ambiente escolar no contexto do Programa Um Computador por Aluno (PROUCA). Tal objeto é constituído pela convergência de dois eixos temáticos, a formação de professores e a inclusão digital via ambiente escolar. Considerando que o acesso às tecnologias não é condição suficiente para a redução das desigualdades sociais, a formação dos professores para o uso dos chamados laptops educacionais se coloca como aspecto fundamental do PROUCA. Essa constatação inspira a questão central desta pesquisa: que processos formativos docentes verificam-se nas escolas contempladas pelo PROUCA em Goiás? Com base nos princípios do materialismo histórico-dialético, segundo o proposto por Marx e Engels, o processo formativo dos professores para a inclusão digital que ocorreu no processo de implantação do PROUCA em Goiás é tomado como uma particularidade que se constitui em parte da totalidade que aí se reflete: as relações materiais e ideológicas de um determinado tempo histórico. O objetivo geral foi explicar os processos formativos docentes visando à inclusão digital, via ambiente escolar, nas escolas contempladas pelo PROUCA, em Goiás. A pesquisa tem caráter exploratório e foi realizada por meio de análise documental e pesquisa de campo que envolveu as nove escolas do estado de Goiás contempladas pelo Programa. Ela ocorreu entre os anos de 2011 e 2014, envolvendo 55 docentes. Para o tratamento da questão da inclusão digital via ambiente escolar, destacamos a contradição para explicitar as consequências da adoção da inclusão, como mera oposição à exclusão digital e social. No que diz respeito aos processos formativos docentes, o princípio da alienação nos foi útil para esclarecer que o modelo instrumental adotado indica muito mais a adaptação dos indivíduos às demandas da economia neoliberal do que uma formação autônoma, como seria o fundamento da ação intencional docente. O modelo formativo teve como pressupostos básicos a fragmentação e a hierarquização, baseando-se em uma racionalidade instrumental. Para análise, o corpus textual emergente da pesquisa exploratória foi organizado em três grandes eixos: a fragmentação que caracteriza o contexto da formação, a fragilidade do conceito de exclusão digital e a alienação que marca a formação instrumental que ocorre no bojo do PROUCA.

Um den Anforderungen an eine inklusive Gesellschaft und der Etablierung eines inklusiven Bildungssystems in Sachsen gerecht werden zu können, unterstützen seit dem Schuljahr 2016/2017 Inklusionsassistenten bereits bestehende schulische Inklusionsprozesse an sächsischen Schulen. Mit dieser Maßnahme sollen Schüler mit sonderpädagogischem Förderbedarf eine zusätzliche, individuell ausgerichtete Unterstützung erhalten. Die Professur für Allgemeine und Biopsychologie der Technischen Universität Chemnitz hatte die Aufgabe, das sächsische Vorhaben umfassend zu analysieren. Im Fokus stand insbesondere die inhaltliche Ausrichtung und deren Auswirkung auf die Ziele und Effektivität des Gesamtprogramms. Im vorliegenden Endbericht werden die zentralen Ergebnisse dieser fünfjährigen wissenschaftlichen Begleitung zusammenfassend dargestellt und Handlungsempfehlungen zur Weiterentwicklung des Einsatzes von Inklusionsassistenten an sächsischen Schulen abgeleitet. / To meet the requirements of an inclusive society and to establish an inclusive education system in Saxony, inclusion assistants have been supporting existing school inclusion processes in Saxonian schools since the 2016/17 school year. This project has aimed at providing pupils with special educational needs with additional, individually tailored support. It has been the task of our team (the team of General Psychology & Biopsychology at the Technical University of Chemnitz) to analyze the Saxonian project comprehensively. More specifically, the various contents and their impact on the objectives and effectiveness of the overall program have been investigated. Within this final report, the key results of this five-year scientific monitoring are summarized. Recommendations for further development of this and related programs are derived.

The thesis addresses the issue of students' home preparation at primary school. The thesis is focused on students with learning disabilities, so in the first chapter of the theoretical part these disabilities are analyzed, describing their etiology and education opportunities in the school education system of the Czech republic. Re-education, as one of the ways through which we can help to eliminate manifestations of specific learning disabilities, is also emphasised. The characteristics of a child of primary school, education maturation, the process of learning and cognitive processes are contained in the second chapter of the thesis. Home preparation, its functions, types and factors are comprised in the third chapter. This chapter also describes the necessity of cooperation between parents and the school. The empirical part provides the description of home preparation of pupils at primary school with specific learning disabilities. The end of the practical part shows us a collection of games, activities and experiences of our respondents, which are enriched with vertified activities, games and recommendations related to the pupils with specific learning disabilities. Keywords: specific learning disabilities, home preparation, homework, re-education, education, school, cognitive processes.
