BARRIER-FREE EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT: THE ROLE OF INDIVIDUALIZATION OF LEARNING AND HEALTH PROMOTION IN PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICE

Abstract

Individualization of learning and health promotion play a key role in the implementation of the concept of barrier-free pedagogical practice. The aim of the study was to characterize the features of a barrier-free educational environment, to find out the role of individualization of learning and health protection in pedagogical practice. The article discusses the issues of individualization of learning and health protection in the formation of a barrier-free educational environment, provides examples of pedagogical practices aimed at their implementation, and highlights methods of individualization and health protection to create a favorable environment for the learning and development of each student. It is emphasized that in the modern educational context, creating a barrier-free environment requires taking into account the individual needs and potential of each student. The individualization of learning is aimed at adapting the educational process to the needs of each student, providing them with the opportunity to study in comfortable conditions and develop their potential. Health promotion ensures the physical and mental well-being of students, contributing to their successful learning and development. The strategies and methods of individualization of learning, such as differentiation of tasks, group and individual work, use of various educational materials and technologies are considered. The role of health promotion in pedagogical practice, including the organization of physical activity, psychological support and promotion of a positive psychosocial environment, is highlighted. The mechanisms for ensuring the functioning of a barrier-free educational environment are proposed, its components and factors of individualization of learning are considered. The article provides specific examples of innovative pedagogical practices that promote individualization of learning and contribute to health protection. In particular, the article considers methods of working with different types of tasks, the use of interactive technologies and tools that allow personalizing the learning process (stretching, flipped classroom, project method). It is found that innovative teaching methods are a mechanism for including different categories of students in the educational process. It is concluded that a barrier-free educational environment is a system that provides equal access and equal learning conditions for all students, regardless of their individual characteristics and needs; health protection involves systematic work with the physical and mental health of students, providing them with optimal conditions for learning and development; individualization of learning helps to prevent barriers to learning and promotes the inclusion of different categories of students in the educational process..
