Arbetet är  baserat på studier gjorda på en högstadieskola i en mindre kommun i södra Sverige. Syftet med den här studien har varit att försöka ta reda på hur lärare och resurspedagoger tycker att skolan lyckas med sitt särskilda ansvar för de elever som har svårigheter att nå målen i skolan genom att ta reda på hur de tolkar begreppet  ”En skola för alla ”. Respondenterna anser att skolan skall vara likvärdig för alla elever, oavsett vilka förutsättning och behov de har. Metoderna har varit kvalitativa intervjuer med 4 pedagoger som arbetar dagligen med elever som av något skäl är i behov av särskilt  stöd för att nå målen för utbildningen. Resultatet av studien visar på att pedagogerna inte anser att deras skola lever upp till begreppet ” En skola för alla” och att deras skola på allvar måste börja med att skaffa sig en ökad kunskap och förståelse för elever i behov av särskilt stöd. Utmaningarna ligger i att få med sig ledningen och övriga lärare i detta komplexa arbete. Det framkommer även i resultatet att material, lokaler och resurser är väldigt begränsat idag.

This thesis is focused on assessing applications of educational contents and goals of the subject Art in the school for pupils with special educational needs. Firsly are characterized the Framework educational programme and School educational programme. Consequently is analyzed the content of School educational program at Elementary and Practical school Svítání, o.p.s. Through action research there are compared the contents of the above binding documents with reality of teaching in the school, which deals with the education of pupils with special educational needs. Action research was realized through video record, transcriptions and analysis of recorded lessons, evaluation of used forms and methods in teaching practice, suggestions and subsequent implementations of didactic art education project with pupils of this school. The work with Framework and School educational programme revealed that the School educational programme subjected to analysis is too focused only on art techniques and specific themes, almost disregards Framework educational programme and very limitedly works with curriculum or expected outcomes discussed herein. Teachers have just narrow space for motivation focused on actual topics and art work. Action research has shown that these specific and serious deficiencies of School...

<p>The terms”inclusion” and” a school for all” are closely connected. The question schools can ask themselves is how they choose to create inclusion and a school for all and also in what perspective.

Det övergripande syftet med min C-uppsats är att granska lärarens bedömning och perceptio-ner för elever i behov av särskilt stöd och vidare belysa vilka möjligheter och begränsningar de anser sig ha för att kunna ta hänsyn till elever i behov av särskilt stöd samt få en syn på de skolsituationer som barn och elever med dolda funktionshinder och i behov av särskilt stöd kan befinna sig i. För att få svar på mina frågor har sex lärare inklusive en special lärare intervjuats och samti-digt diskuterades de psykologiska och biologiska faktorer kring barns och ungdomars utveck-ling. Den historiska återblicken ger oss en uppfattning på hur begreppet ”en skola för alla” har utvecklats inom loppet av tiden och vilka syn på barn i behov av särskilt stöd har pedagogerna idag. De centrala frågorna rörde sig om pedagogernas uppfattning om barn med koncentra-tionssvårigheter och deras syn på diagnostisering av barn med problem. En inkluderande inte-grering i jämförelse med segregering diskuterades också samt hur pedagogerna kan hjälpa dessa barn. Eleverna i skolan är olika och deras olikheter måste mötas med omtanke. För att uppfylla de-ras behov krävs kunniga och kompetenta personal i skolan. Skolan måste ha en fungerande och tillfredställande elevvård för att kunna nå skolans mål. Skolornas neddragningar på grund av ekonomiska problem gör att barn med dolda funktionshinder misslyckas allt oftare i da-gens skola. Dessa orsakar att barn får ett dåligt självförtroende med upprepade misslyckande och försämrar deras problem. Allmänt finns det en del olika faktorer som ligger bakom barn med koncentrations svårighe-ter. De biologisk och ärftliga faktorer samt tillväxtmiljön och deras samhällsställning kan ge-nerellt nämnas. Brist på tid, ekonomi och kunskap i skolorna är det en barriär för att kunna hjälpa barn med svårigheter. / The comprehensive purpose with this paper is to have a look at teacher’s assessment and per-ception of pupils with special educational needs. And further illustrate which possibilities and restrictions they believe to have, to take children with special educational needs into consid-eration and get a view of school situations who children with hidden functional disability and with special educations needs are at the present. To get answer to my questions, six teachers inclusive a special teacher for pupils with im-paired disabilities have been interviewed and discussed the psychological and biological fac-tors around children’s development. The historical review gave us a perceptive on how defini-tion of “school for all” has been developed during the time and what is teacher’s opinion on children with special needs today. The central questions were concentrating on teachers un-derstanding of children with concentration difficulty and their opinion on diagnostic of chil-dren with problems. An “including integration” compared to segregating been discussed as well and finally discussed how teachers can help these children. Pupils in school are not comparable and these differences must meets carefully. To meet chil-dren’s requirements schools have need of personnel’s competence and proficiency. Schools required having functioning and satisfactory pupil welfare to achieve the aim. Lowering of school resources due to economical problems do that child with hidden functional disability fails more often in schools these days. These effects cause that children get a horrific self-confidence and worsen their problems. Generally, there are different factors behind the con-centrations difficulty. The biological and hereditary factors as well as home environment and their class society can points out in general. Lacking of time, economy and knowledge stops teachers to helping children in school.

The terms”inclusion” and” a school for all” are closely connected. The question schools can ask themselves is how they choose to create inclusion and a school for all and also in what perspective. The purpose with this study was to find out how the headmasters and the teachers at “Blommans skola” reasoned about the definition “inclusion”. In order to fulfill the purpose I used the following questions: How do the teachers reason around the two definitions “inclusion” and “a school for all” and how does this school include children with special needs? I chose to work with a qualitative research method and I performed interviews based on an interview guide. The empirical material I gathered was divided into themes in order to analyze how the participants in the study had concluded the central definition inclusion to individualization, pupils with special needs, a school for all and interest and motivation.  The result of my research show that the informants define inclusion as having the same human value regardless and include everyone accordingly even the ones at the moment not present in the classroom. My material shows that it is the segregated integration that dominates the education situations and that the informants think that it is necessary in order to individualize learning. The informants think it is not excluding to have the pupil attend the school best fitted for the individual needs. My conclusion is that “a school for all” needs to be individually laid out, no matter what special needs are required, since all of us have a different way of learning.

The paper deals with the theoretical analysis of the additional education purposes, requirements and functions. Extraordinary requirements, spare-time entertainment, meeting the requirements out-of-school activity also the problems of this special training and the assumptions or efficiency are considered in the empirical part. The paper hypothesizes that parent’s expectations about special needs education and social needs not always reflect real situation at special requirements school. It is important to note that the interrogatory by filling in the form is also under the consideration with its purpose to investigate the abilities of supplying the special needs. The fact- finding is also made and shown in statistics (descriptive frequency, the average etc.).

The theoretical part of the thesis deals with the education of pupils with special needs. It describes the term of integration, its types, forms and grades. Subsequently it focuses on possible problems of integration process and concentrates on integration according to the type and level of individual disability. The practical part reflects the integration process from the classmates? point of view. It presents data from the questionnaire survey made by the author of the thesis and compares them with the data collected with the same questionnaire in 2008 by o.s. Rytmus.

The aim of this study is to examine some secondary school pupils´ and teachers´ opinions about good support when having reading and writing difficulties and if there is a difference between their point of view in this issue. The study is based upon semi-structured interviews with both pupils and teachers. The result shows both similarities and differences in what they consider as good support. To read texts aloud to pupils is something that the teachers in the study use as a way of support and it is much appreciated by the pupils too. The possibility to get the teacher´s notes is another thing that both pupils and teachers think are useful and further on to have an opportunity to do oral tests. Sometimes it can even be a crucial reason for the pupil to get higher scores. This does not happen as a daily routine, but the pupils have to ask for both oral tests and teachers´ notes. Several of the informants among the pupils say they would prefer one-to-one tuition or to be taught in small groups. None of the teachers mention this as a good way of supporting pupils with special needs. Instead they want to spend more time with each pupil and also they would like the opportunity of an extra teacher in the classroom. / Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka några högstadieelevers och lärares uppfattningar om bra stöd vid läs- och skrivsvårigheter samt se om det finns en skillnad i deras uppfattning kring denna fråga. Studien är baserad på semi-strukturerade intervjuer med både elever och lärare. Resultatet visar på både likheter och skillnader i deras uppfattningar om bra stöd. Att få text uppläst av en lärare uppskattas mycket av eleverna och är också något som lärarna i studien använder sig av. Likaså ses anteckningar och muntliga prov gemensamt som underlättande och ibland högst avgörande på hur pass väl man som elev kan lyckas. Detta sker inte alltid på rutin, utan eleverna får själva be om den hjälpen. Flera informanter bland eleverna önskar en-till-en undervisning eller undervisning i liten grupp. Ingen av lärarna nämner detta som ett önskemål på hur de vill att stöd ska ges. Istället önskar de sig mera tid med varje elev och en extra lärare på sina lektioner.

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka vilka metoder lärare tycker fungerar i undervisningen av elever med läs- och skrivproblematik och hur de motiverar dem i förhållande till forskningen. Detta undersökts genom intervjuer med lärare och specialpedagoger på mellanstadiet. Resultatet av studien visar på att det är lärarens kunskaper om olika metoder och strategier som avgör om undervisningen blir lyckad eller inte. Detta beror på att alla strategier och metoder inte passar alla elever direkt utan behöver anpassas och bytas ut allteftersom eleven utvecklas. Hela tiden ska fokus ligga på vad som fungerar bäst för eleven. Undervisningen ska anpassas efter elevens behov och inte tvärtom. Samtidigt är det många i studien som påpekar att de anpassningar som är bäst är de som kan appliceras på hela klassen och inte enbart är för en elev. Det här är någonting som lärarna och specialpedagogerna jag har intervjuat håller med om men samtidigt använder de endast en metod, Rydaholmsmetoden. / The purpose of this study is to investigate what methods teachers think work best in teaching pupils with reading and writing problems and place that in relation to the research. This was done through interviews with middle school teachers and special educators. The result of the study shows that it is the teacher's knowledge of different methods and strategies that determine whether the teaching is successful or not. This is because all strategies and methods do not fit all pupils directly, but need to be adapted and replaced as the pupils develops. All the time, the focus should be on what works best for the pupils. Teaching should be adapted to the needs of the pupils and not the other way around. At the same time, many in the study point out that the best adaptations are those that can be applied to the whole class and not just for one pupil. This is something that the teachers and special educators I interviewed agree with, however, they only use one method, the Rydaholms method.

The Master's Thesis addresses prevention of the burnout syndrome in regards to teachers at special needs primary schools. These teachers work with pupils with moderate to severe intellectual disabilities, multiple disabilities and autism spectrum disorders. The theoretical part of the paper deals with the causes, risk factors, and prevention possibilities of the burnout syndrome. It deals with the burnout syndrome as a general phenomenon which affects the entire population. It furthermore addresses the risk of a burnout in teachers and the risk-factor specifics of this group. Furthermore, it outlines the specifics of education at primary schools for pupils with special needs. This part provides needed foundation for the actual research. The practical part of the thesis contains an analysis of a research conducted at a specific primary special school. For the research, I used the qualitative design method in the form of interviews. The interviews were conducted with five teachers and the director of the Kindergarten and Primary Special School Diakonie ČCE. The aim of the research was to collect data regarding the risk factors and experiences with prevention of a burnout, that from the individual standpoints of the teachers' approaches as well as from the perspective of the management of the school....
