The thesis deals with the construction of the model for training Self-efficacy of young people with moderate intellectual disabilities based on A.Bandura’s Social Learning Theory. The hypothesis of three conditions is developed: Self-efficacy of young people with moderate intellectual disabilities will be trained if: 1) educational situations are based on the educator and the learners’ harmony of aims and equipotential interaction; 2) the learner is able to express his feelings and images in the creative work spontaneously by means of art expression and the educator is able to express his expectations; 3) the educator is active creating conditions for art expression searching for the ways of social promotion and analysing the changes in the topics and graphic patterns of creative works of young people with moderate intellectual disabilities. To implement and study these three conditions the art expression studio initiated its activity and educational situations adequate to the hypothesis were created. The pedagogical interaction was investigated employing standardised observational method, the elements of Grounded theory and H-T-P methods were employed to analyse the learners’ drawings, and the manifestations of the learners’ Self-efficacy were searched employing phenomenological investigation performing case analyses. It is proved that consciously and purposefully constructed equipotential pedagogical interaction is the precondition of Self-efficacy of young people with MID.
