Abstract
The article deals with the problem of professional training of future musical art teachers for teaching students with special educational needs. The purpose of the article is to present the findings of the research on the current state of professional training of future teachers of musical art for educational inclusion in Ukraine. The author underlines that the Law of Ukraine “On Education” (2017) states that inclusive education is a system of state-guaranteed educational services based on the principles of non-discrimination, respect for human diversity, effective involvement and inclusion in the educational process of all its participants. The Law guarantees the inclusion of persons with special educational needs into the general educational process. However, the findings of the research revealed that most future teachers of musical art are not at all or only partially trained to work with students with special educational needs. In order to improve the professional training of the future musical art teachers, the author proposed: to update the normative base of art education; to substantiate the organizational and methodological foundations of professional training of future musical art teachers for educational inclusion; to develop a system of appropriate training for educators of higher educational institutions; to create pedagogical conditions aimed at formation of motivations in students for artistic and educational inclusion; to level up the material and technological support of higher education institutions.
Highlights
Increasing attention to inclusive education, which is connected with granting people the opportunity to have equal rights to education is one of the key humanistic tendencies in the development of modern world society
That is why it is important to create the concept of inclusive art education, the work on which has already begun in the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine
Based on the results of the analysis of the abovementioned documents, we have found that the current normative base of education of future teachers of musical art does not provide for the training of future teachers of musical art to work with persons who have special educational needs
Summary
Increasing attention to inclusive education, which is connected with granting people the opportunity to have equal rights to education is one of the key humanistic tendencies in the development of modern world society. One of them is the change in attitudes towards people with special educational needs; those who: cannot attend school for reasons of health; live in small villages, areas of armed conflict; are in emergency situations caused by natural or man-made factors; demonstrate high educational potential and are able to complete the school course faster than others; are foreigners or stateless persons (Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, 2016). This trend needs to address a number of educational issues, reflected in the Law of Ukraine “On Education” (2017). Its potential is not fully utilized in teaching music to people with special educational needs, which is primarily due to the unpreparedness of teaching staff for inclusive education
