Abstract

Philosophy for children has long been an element of pedagogical research in which children's philosophizing is treated as a method of their educating. The conducted research shows that philosophical reflections of children bring benefits in the implementation of some teaching content or support the social and emotional development of children. This study presents the results of qualitative research carried out to understand the philosophical activity of younger school-age children with different educational needs. The main problem was included in the question: What is the philosophical activity of students of younger school age with different educational needs? Participant observation was used in the conducted research procedure. The results of the research carried out in a group of 15 students of the second integrated grade showed that, in most cases, the philosophical activity of the respondents was very diverse, regardless of their educational needs. The only exception included students with a certificate on the need for special education who attended the philosophy classes in a very limited scope. The conducted research is an example of children's philosophical reflections.
