Readiness of teachers to work in conditions of psychological and pedagogical support of children with special educational needs

Abstract

Modern theoretical directions in the field of special (correctional) pedagogy allowed us to study the content and technologies of teachers' readiness for correctional and pedagogical activity in the educational process. The priority in teaching children with special educational needs is the introduction of inclusive education into the school system, which is part of general secondary education and includes its accessibility. The main issue in the complex of studies related to vocational education is the readiness of teaching staff to work with children in inclusive education. Today, the necessary reforms in the field of inclusive education in Kazakhstan have a humanistic orientation. Special attention is paid to the education of these children. Monitoring of education reforms in Kazakhstan has revealed persistent negative trends in the physical and mental health of children of all ages. The priority in teaching children with special educational needs is the introduction of inclusive education into the school system, which is part of general secondary education and includes its accessibility. The main issue in the complex of studies related to vocational education is the readiness of teaching staff to work with children in inclusive education. Purpose: to use the experience of special and integrated education as a technological experience of psychological and pedagogical support of participants in the inclusive educational process. Methods: we used technological maps (created by a teacher for a student), methods of cooperation and methods of joint group learning, methods of mutual learning, method of psychological comfort, methods of teaching social skills, adaptive technologies, accessible digital media, additional communication technologies, technologies for special training and development techniques and methods of "barrier-free environment" ramps, single-storey schools, the introduction of sign language translators, etc. The results, their significance: Our research has shown at the moment that there is also a positive attitude towards access to education for children with special educational needs who have difficulties with motor skills, as well as hearing, speech or vision. The analysis showed that children with musculoskeletal disorders find quick contact with the environment (12,4 %), as well as children with intellectual disabilities - with mental retardation (12,9 %). Hearing and visual impairments are rare among respondents (9,1 %), more children with external impairments (40.5). Thus, 70% of respondents learned about the problem of disability of their children. Only a third of the students at the school had experience and access to communication with a disabled child, who, in our opinion, is not familiar with institutional constraints, especially in the education system.
