The thesis is focused on mapping the current conditions of schools in the education of pupils with specific learning needs with regard to the conditions set by the state of this type of education. The work is divided into two parts-the theoretical and practical. The theoretical part provides an overview of the status of a student with special needs in school. Specifically, concepts such as diagnostics, re-education and problems in school these pupils. A substantial part of the work also discusses the possibilities of integrating these students into mainstream schools and the related demands and requirements of schools. These conditions are in the form of compensation and support measures enshrined in Decree 147/2011 Coll., The observance of which in practice is the subject of the practical part of the thesis.

Diploma thesis " Approaches to children in multicultural Nursery and Primary schools. It deals with the current approaches to children in Nursery and Primary schools, both in Czech schools and foreign schools located in the Czech Republic. First this thesis tries to find some historical context and understanding of the situation that Czech and foreign schools are faced with. Further attempts to map out the involvement of multicultural education into the curricula and teaching practice in the selected schools. Primarily it creates a comparison of approaches to multicultural education in selected schools in the Czech Republic. The thesis is trying to find inspiration for working with multicultural education in Czech schools, which do not pay much attention to multicultural education. Thesis should highlight the importance of multicultural education in schools and the benefits and positive impact of integrating this education into the curriculum of schools.

Nesta perspectiva, a Secretaria de Saúde do Estado da Bahia desenvolveu o Programa PermanecerSUS orientado pelo princípio da integração trabalho-educação cujo o eixo norteador das práticas é o acolhimento, diretriz e dispositivo da Política Nacional de Humanização. Este artigo trata de um estudo de caso de abordagem qualitativa que visa analisar a percepção dos estudantes acerca da contribuição do PermanecerSUS na sua formação profissional. Trata-se de um estudo documental utilizando dados secundários produzidos pela gestão e execução do programa tais como: narrativas dos estagiários, relatórios do programa, formulário de avaliação final e livro de ocorrência, documentos que produziram análise da experiência dos estudantes e suas percepções acerca da concepção de acolhimento, contribuição do programa à sua formação profissional em saúde, implicação para atuação no SUS, dimensão ético político e dificuldades e facilidades percebidas. Como principais resultados destacam-se a experiência da interdisciplinaridade, a constituição da humanização como modo de operar práticas em saúde, desenvolvimento da habilidade de escuta qualificada e acolhimento como atitude ético-política. Por outro lado, os aspectos relacionados ao acompanhamento à inserção do estagiário no estágio surgem como ponto de melhoria. Discutem-se aspectos para melhoria da formação em saúde e mudanças na atuação profissional no SUS.

Abstract This thesis aims to contribute to the restructuring of the research field of ICT in education by trying to reduce the complexity of the research with an analysis of the research from the perspective of research of science. The analysis provides a second order observation of research especially from a paradigm point of view. The concept of paradigm has been re-defined by applying Niklas Luhmann's (1995) theory of social systems. The main research task of this thesis is to describe the paradigms structuring scientific communication in research on ICT integration in education. The research questions here are based on the understanding that paradigms are structures of the social communicative systems of science, creating expectations for the researcher about the scientific nature of the research. The definition of the paradigm as a selective structure in a social communicative system of science implicitly defines that the communication within the system is language by nature. In this research, to separate it from linguistics, the focus is in the use of language in research context, not in language itself. In practice, the paradigms of research on ICT integration in education are analyzed through qualitative analysis of metaphors containing ontological assumptions of research and rhetoric convincing the scientific community of the scientific nature and the interest of research. The sample articles have been selected according to such a criteria that they can be seen representing the core of the scientific communication in the field. From the education point of view, the mainstream of research on ICT integration in education has led to an immersion of the learning theoretical foundation of the research into techno-economic paradigms - and in a sense led to fading of broader educational and social perspectives. The mainstream of the research is shadowing the research that has social and cultural approaches and critical research interests related to a changing education system and global educational problems. Although the research puts emphasis on constructive learning theories, techno-economic paradigms of the research field continue the tradition of instructional technology, which is framing the concept of "e-Education". This mainstream is not viable in solving the current problems of education globally. This is not to say that the research field of ICT in education is growing obsolete. On the contrary, the research is needed urgently but it should focus also on the broader educational and social developments in a global context. / Tiivistelmä Tämä tutkimus liittyy tieto- ja viestintätekniikan opetuskäytön poikkitieteellisen tutkimusalueen jäsentämiseen ja selkiinnyttämiseen. Tutkimuksen lähestymistapa on tutkimuksen tutkimus, jossa tutkimusaluetta tarkastellaan reflektiivisesti ns. toisen tason havainnointina. Tutkimuksessa lähestytään tieto- ja viestintätekniikan opetuskäytön tutkimusaluetta paradigma -käsitteen avulla, joka määritellään Niklas Luhmann'in (1995) sosiaalisen järjestelmän teoriaa hyödyntäen tieteellisen kommunikaatiojärjestelmän valikoiviksi rakenteeksi. Tutkimusongelmat keskittyvät näiden rakenteiden kuvailemiseen olettaen, että nämä valikoivat rakenteet luovat tutkijoille odotuksia tutkimuksen perusolettamuksista. Paradigmat tieteellisen kommunikatiivisen järjestelmän rakenteina perustuvat kieleen, jota käytetään tutkimusten raportoinnissa sekä muussa tieteellisessä kommunikaatiossa. Tässä tutkimuksessa näitä rakenteita tutkitaan kansainvälisissä tutkimusartikkeleissa esiintyvien tieto- ja viestintätekniikan opetuskäyttöön liittyvien metaforisten ilmauksien sekä tutkimuksen lähtökohtiin ja intresseihin liittyvän retoriikan kautta. Tulkinnassa käytetään kielen käytön tutkimuksen menetelmiä, pitäytyen metaforisten ilmausten sekä retoriikan yhdenmukaisuuksien ja erojen analysoimisessa. Analyysin tarkoituksena on jäsentää tieteellisen kommunikaation paradigmaattisia rakenteita. Tutkimuksen tuloksena voidaan lyhyesti todeta, että tieto- ja viestintätekniikan opetuskäytön tutkimusta luonnehtii voimakas instrumentaalinen sekä teknis-taloudellinen suuntaus. Suurin osa tutkimusta hallitsevista metaforista sekä paradigmoista voidaan nähdä tämän laajemman suuntauksen osina. Orastava sosio-kulttuurinen tutkimus-suuntaus on selvästi edellä mainitun pääsuuntauksen varjossa. Oppimisteoreettisesti orientoitunut opetusteknologinen tutkimus korostaa yhteistoiminnallisuutta ja sosiaalista kontekstia oppimisen edellytyksenä. Tutkimusparadigmojen näkökulmasta myös tämä tutkimusorientaatio noudattaa pääosin teknis-taloudellista tutkimussuuntausta. Tämä on havaittavissa teknologian instrumentaalisuuden korostamisessa sekä tutkimuksen perustumisessa pääosin luonnontieteelliseen tutkimustraditioon. Tutkimus ei siten erotu olennaisesti teknis-taloudellisesta tutkimus- ja kehitystyöstä erilliseksi suuntaukseksi. Tutkimuksen keskeiseksi käsitteeksi nousevat erityisesti "e-education" ja "e-learning", joiden varaan uusi koulutus- ja oppimismuoto on jäsentymässä. Sosio-kulttuurinen tutkimusorientaatio, institutionaaliset tutkimuskohdetta kuvaavat metaforat sekä koulutuksen muutosta korostavat tutkimusintressit ovat tutkimusalan kokonaisvaltaisen jäsentymisen ja globaalien koulutuksellisten ongelmien kannalta tärkeitä. Poikkitieteellisen, eri tieteenaloja ja metaforia syntetisoivan viitekehyksen sekä kulttuuritutkimuksellisen lähestymistavan korostaminen ovat tieto- ja viestintätekniikan opetuskäytön tutkimuksen kehittymisen kannalta keskeisiä.

The research shows that South Africa’s multi-level National Qualifications Framework provides for academic as well as vocational training and promotes a ‘multi-pronged’ skills strategy. The findings suggest that the learners on this learnership experienced the theoretical learning in the college and the practical learning on the job as an integrated whole. The study concludes that the structured college-based learning enabled the learners on this learnership to implement what they learnt at college in the workplace. / South Africa

The aim of this thesis is to provide a comprehensive data of schooling issues and integration of children with the Asperger syndrome in the public schools. I would like to bring out my own experience while working with these children. I have mapped the teachers' opinion of the pupils' integration and I have ensembled this data with an expert's opinion, too. My thesis is divided into two basic parts: the theoretical and empirical part. I am going to describe the issues thereof and I am going to result from the curent movement of the integration. The empirical part consists of first, the interview with an expert, second, the public schools teachers' questionnaire and lastly, the casuistry of a boy I have worked with.The used methods in the practical part are mainly the interview and the questionnaire. Key words: the Asperger syndrome, the child's autism, the autistical spektra disorders, the common characteristics, the diagnostic, the screening and diagnostic tools, the education, the integration

The attitude of society towards persons with mental disabilities and recognizing their rights and dignity are important evaluation aspects of the society. The Czech Republic follows modern European trends that provide the mentally disabled with the same extent of activities as people without disabilities. As a topic of my thesis I have chosen the mentally disabled children´s right to education. The thesis addresses attitudes of primary school headmasters as well as attitudes of the staff of special education centers for children and youths with mental disabilities to integration of pupils with mental disabilities into a regular primary school. The theoretical part of the thesis deals with important documents discussing the rights of individuals with mental disabilities. It describes not only mental disability and its degrees, but in particular education of children with mental disabilities in schools set up for pupils with special educational needs and the possibility of integrating these pupils into mainstream education. The theoretical part is followed by the practical part. The objective of the thesis was to identify the attitude of primary school headmasters as well as that of the staff of a special education center for the mentally disabled staff to the integration process of children with mental disabilities into mainstream primary schools and implementation of the right to education of children with mental disabilities. The research was conducted by the interrogation method using anonymous questionnaires. The results show that a majority of primary schools headmasters in the South Bohemian region support the right to education of pupils with mental disabilities in the form of their integration into regular classrooms. All the respondents, both primary school headmasters and the special education center staff, give the priority at education to individual learning abilities of each child with a mental disability. At the integration of a pupil with a mental disability into a regular primary school the crucial criterion is health and social motivation, not economic motivation. This thesis can be used as a survey of current attitudes and opinions of primary school headmasters and special education centers´ staff on the possibility of pupils with mental disabilities integration into mainstream education.

O programa, que prevê a formação profissional de jovens e adultos simultânea à formação escolar, foi implementado nas três unidades do Centro de Federal de Educação Tecnológica (Cefet) do Estado, já no ano seguinte. Em 2008, o Cefet é transformado em Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia (IFSP) e, após três anos de sua criação, passa a contar com 27 câmpus, em todas as regiões do Estado, os quais, no entanto, sem oferta de vagas para os cursos Proeja. Antes de analisarmos a implementação da política, buscamos compreender os caminhos percorridos pela Educação Profissional e pela Educação de Jovens e Adultos, destacando o foco da formação, do discurso da educação permanente para a educação ao longo da vida e como essas duas modalidades de ensino se aproximam - ou não - ao longo da História. Também procuramos entender as questões políticas e sociais que levaram à inclusão do Proeja na agenda de governo do Presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, as mudanças no foco desta modalidade de ensino e o lugar que a EJA passa a ocupar na sociedade. Analisamos também o processo de transformação do Cefet em Instituto Federal, sua rápida expansão para o interior do Estado, a importância dessa "transformação" para a instituição e para a sociedade como um todo. Finalizando, apresentamos o relato dos gestores da instituição sobre a chegada do Proeja e como foi seu processo de implementação, considerando a fase de expansão da instituição. A metodologia utilizada foi o estudo de caso, realizado através de levantamento bibliográfico, documental e entrevistas com os principais servidores envolvidos neste processo / Abstract: The research presents an analysis of the Program of Professional Education integrated with the Young and Adult Education - PROEJA's implementation, created by Decree n. 5840/2006, in the State of São Paulo. The program, which provides vocational training for young and adults simultaneously to school education, was implemented in three units of the Federal Center of Technological Education (CEFET) in the state, the following year. In 2008, the Cefet is transformed into Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology (IFSP) which, after three years of its creation, had 27 campuses in all regions of the state, without offering Proeja courses, however. Before reviewing the policy's implementation, we seek to understand the paths taken by the Vocational Education and the Young and Adults Education, highlighting the focus of the training, the discourse of continuing education until lifelong learning and how these two modes of teaching approaches - or not - throughout history. We also seek to understand the political and social issues that led to the inclusion of Proeja on the government's agenda of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, changes in the focus of this type of education and the place the EJA comes to occupy in society. We also analyzed the transformation of Cefet into Federal Institute, its rapid expansion through the state, the importance of this "transformation" for the institution and for society as a whole. Finally, we present a report with the institution's managers on the arrival of Proeja and how was its implementation process, considering the institution's expansion phase. The methodology used was the case study, conducted through literature, documentary and interviews with key servers involved in this process / Mestrado / Politicas, Administração e Sistemas Educacionais / Mestra em Educação
