Abstract

This article describes planned research on the practice of inclusive education in Poland in the context of Pierre Bourdieu's [3] concept of society, in which field is one of the basic concepts. In using this term, the author intends to describe the social space of the school, the social space’s organization, and the state of the school’s social position; as well as to answer the question: What is the reality of inclusive education, as analyzed using the illusio category? It is necessary to analyze the state of the implementation of the assumptions made by inclusive education in primary schools, and to find out the opinions of teachers working with students covered by this type of education. In P. Bourdieu’s [3] concept of society, the field is the source of what is social, it shapes it in those who are within its area of influence. This “attitude” is called illusio [11, p. 188]. Illusio is a state of engrossment in a game that the participant is unaware of. This is the result of direct recognition of the field's requirements. Everyday educational life in the context of P. Bourdieu's concept falls within the field of activities of the Ministry of National Education. The teacher takes part in a game whose rules are set by the Ministry of National Education. In the context of the proposed research within the scope of the field, apart from teachers, there are also the parents of the children covered by inclusive education.

Highlights

  • In recent decades, a feature of educational research has been the increased interest in the issue of educating people with disabilities

  • Hulek [7, p. 495], in justifying the sense of building an inclusive education system for people with disabilities, writes that “the most advantageous system is a system of education and upbringing of children and adolescents who have deviations from the norm, which allows the various work of pupils to be satisfied”

  • In connection with the visible cognitive gap, it seems educational, and necessary, to construct research aimed at presenting the space of integration schools as being one of the forms of social space, and discovering the types of game, the rules prevailing in it, and rules that govern this type of education

Summary

Introduction

A feature of educational research has been the increased interest in the issue of educating people with disabilities. Despite the fact that it has been an area of interest for researchers and people involved in education for a long time, is still a relatively unknown subject. Due to the constant changes taking place in the field under discussion, this area should be constantly analyzed and described. It is a specific social space in which teachers and students are located on a daily basis, and among these students are those who have special educational needs. This education is integrally connected with universal education at the level of the education system’s ideological assumptions, and the ways in which they are achieved. This article is an attempt to create a theoretical framework for research on inclusive education based on Pierre Bourdieu's field theory
