This diploma thesis deals with special pedagogue role in system of treating with prisoners at the department custody and department of imprisonment. It also describes all the activities and programs, which are prepared by special pedagogue for accused and convinced. There is described the work of special pedagogue in Remand Prison Praha-Pankrác. The research was based on observations, case reports and interviews.

The purpose of this study is to describe how the principal and the special pedagogue perceive and define pupil ill-health prevention and pupil health enhancement in their work. It explores how they understand the role they play in elevhälsan, literally meaning pupils' health. And how meetings are run and decisions are made within the pupils' health teams at selected schools. Questions that will be answered are: How do the principal and the special pedagogue perceive pupil ill-health prevention and health enhancement work of the pupil health team at the school? How do the principal and the special pedagogue perceive their roles in the health of the pupils? How are decisions made and followed through at the pupil healthcare meetings? This qualitative study used semi-structured interviews and phenomenological inspired methodology. Pupil health teams from three different schools were interviewed, and in total three principals and five special pedagogues took part in this study. The analysis of the results of this study show that further consensus between the different health promoting coordinators is needed in the implementation of the pupil ill-health prevention and health enhancement work. Further findings show inconsistencies in how the different pupil health teams conduct their meetings and in how decisions are implemented. A majority of the pupil health teams used the meetings to address existing problems, rather than ill-health prevention and health promotion efforts. The principals demonstrated that they have a greater consensus in how they define their role in promoting pupil health, as opposed to the special pedagogues who expressed a more varied picture of their role. This study also demonstrates that the pupil health team that was most effective in pupil health developments was the team that had further education in pupil health. Findings also show that the different health coordinators have an important role in furthering development and accessibility of the learning environment for the pupils, and in contributing to creating a 'school for everyone'. The demands on the special pedagogues to meet all pupils' differences, and to see these differences as an asset, are great. The requirement of a 'school for everyone' is a lot to ask for. To create a school that has learning environments tailored to everyone's individual needs requires an understanding and consensus between the different pupil health coordinators. This can sometimes be a dilemma, yet the pupil health coordinators have an important role to fill in these realms. This study also found that it was of utmost importance to have a clearly defined organisation and definition of the what the ill-health prevention and health enhancement work involved. To promote this the pupil health coordinators must create a meeting culture that supports the pupil ill-health prevention and health promotional work.

Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur förskollärare och specialpedagoger arbetar och inkluderar barn med särskilda undervisningsbehov i vardagliga situationer. Undersökningsfrågorna är: Vilka är barnen med särskilda behov, enligt förskollärare och specialpedagoger? Hur arbetar förskollärare/specialpedagoger med barn som har särskilda behov för att inkludera dessa barn i lärande? Hur arbetar förskollärare/specialpedagoger med barn som har särskilda behov för att inkludera dessa barn i vardagliga situationer? och Vad är specialpedagogernas roll i arbetet med stöd för barn med särskilda behov? Genom en kvalitativ metod har vi gjort både semistrukturerade och strukturerade intervjuer med sju förskollärare och två specialpedagoger från två olika kommuner. Utifrån det relationella perspektivet, kategoriska perspektivet och det sociokulturella perspektivet har vi analyserat det insamlade datamaterialet och bildat fyra olika teman. Resultat och slutsatser visar att särskilda behov oftast förknippas med diagnoser eller andra svårigheter. Metoder och arbetssätt är bildstöd, tecken och noggrann planering. Specialpedagogen roll är att vara ett stöd och nya infallsvinklar för att barnet ska få en likgiltig tid på förskolan.

Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie var att undersöka hur pedagoger beskriver möjligheter och hinder med användningen av interaktionsfärdighetsprogrammet Play Time Social Time (PTST) i svensk förskoleverksamhet samt att undersöka hur de upplever att programmet kan främja en inkluderande verksamhet genom arrangerade lekstunder. Fem intervjusamtal har genomförts med två pedagoger som är verksamma på en förskola i Stor-Stockholm. På förskolan genomfördes även en observation under en arrangerad lekstund. Datainsamlingen analyserades kvalitativt och förslag på hur programmet kan anpassas till svensk förskoleverksamhet synliggjordes. Det framkom att de arrangerade lekstunderna bidrog till att samspel uppstod mellan barn som i vanliga fall inte interagerar med varandra samt lockade till lek hos alla barn, men framförallt hos barn som var i behov av särskilt stöd. Studien visar även att arrangerade lekstunder upplevs underlätta för pedagoger i skapandet av en inkluderande verksamhet. Avslutningsvis diskuteras hur pedagoger kan förhålla sig till barnet och lärmiljön och hur PTST kan anpassas till svensk förskoleverksamhet utifrån ett barnperspektiv. Vidare diskuteras vilka förutsättningar pedagogerna behöver för att skapa meningsfulla situationer där barnen kan interagera och inkluderas, samt hur specialpedagogen kan bidra med sin kompetens i detta arbete. / The aim of this study was to investigate how two preschool teachers describes possible applications and difficulties that might arise when using the interaction program Play Time Social Time (PTST) in a Swedish preschool. The aim was also to investigate how the playtime activities suggested by PTST that the teachers arranged in their preschool were evaluated by the teachers and if they were viewed as beneficial in promoting inclusion and participation in interactions among the children.   Five interviewa with two preschool teachers were conducted who are operating in a preschool in Stockholm, and one observation has been conducted during one arranged playtime. The data collection was analysed qualitatively and gave indications about how PTST can be adapted into Swedish preschool.   According to the teachers the arranged playtimes facilitated interaction between children that usually did not interact, as well as they attracted to play for every child, but mostly those children who were in need of special support. The teachers experienced that arranging playtimes contributed to the pursuit of inclusive education. The preschool teachers beliefs about children's learning and the role of the environment in preschool are also discussed and how PTST could be adapted and used into Swedish preschools.   The paper discusses how the preschool teachers may create situations so that children interact and participate in an inclusive learning environment and also how special pedagogues  may support these processes. / Lek och samspel för alla barn i inkluderande förskolemiljöer
