Selective mutism and shyness. Differential diagnosis and strategies supporting child development

The article deals with the problem of differential diagnosis of extreme reticence or selective speech in a child, categorised as selective mutism and shyness. Selective mutism is an increasingly recognized disorder among preschool and school children. It manifests itself functionally in the sphere of speech and communication, but in relation to the anxiety factor. As an anxiety disorder, it is categorised in the latest medical classifications ICD-11 and DSM-5, and therefore, primarily psychological or psychiatric therapeutic intervention could be expected. The specificity of the pathomechanism of selective mutism, however, requires interdisciplinary activities, with a room for a speech therapist, a special pedagogue (e.g. at a public school as a supporting teacher), any other pedagogue working with the child (educator, teacher of integrated classes, subject teacher), other specialists (therapist pedagogue, physiotherapist), as well as the parents. The speech therapist may play a special role in the diagnosis of mutism in the conditions of inclusive education, as he will probably be the first specialist who will receive a child who is not speaking or very taciturn at a public school. In the article, the diagnosis of selective mutism is associated with the differential diagnosis of shyness, which may not be treated as a disorder, but only a certain personality trait, but with incompetent pedagogical support in everyday educational practice it can lead to more serious difficulties, including logophobia and mutism. The diagnosis of mutism requires specialised therapeutic measures, but with the awareness of the differences in the situations of a shy child and a child with mutism, it is worth learning some supportive strategies that are useful in both cases.

Features of learning foreign languages at school under the conditions of inclusive education

Trends in the development of inclusive education in Ukraine

The purpose of the article is to identify trends in the development of inclusive education in Ukraine and related challenges. Their understanding and consideration in the formation of educational policy will contribute to a more successful process of its implementation. To achieve this goal, the method of desk research was used. It is established that at present the main trends in the implementation of an inclusive approach in education are the focus on the development of a multi-track model, a significant increase in special and inclusive classes of secondary schools and students who study there, decrease in the number of special educational institutions. Difficulties in implementation of inclusive approach in education are associated with the lack of a common understanding of inclusive education, the imperfection of the regulatory framework, the institutional weakness of the newly established amalgamated territorial communities which are responsible for the introduction of inclusive approach at the local level, the uncoordinated efforts of state and local governments, poor material and technical resources of educational institutions, lack of qualified teachers prepared to work with children in conditions of inclusive education.

Development tendencies of the inclusive education system at higher medical school: adaptation, maintenance, professional readiness

This article considers the issues of adaptation and organization of the educational process, barrier-free environment and readiness for professional activity of students with disabilities in inclusive education in conditions of inclusive education in a medical university. The relevance of this work is determined by one of the priority areas of state policy in the field of higher education - access to higher education for people with disabilities in inclusive education. Inclusive education at the university is designed to ensure not only the realization of the right of students with disabilities in inclusive education to higher education, but also to solve the problems of socialization and professional demand for such people. In order to improve the process of introducing inclusive education at the Ryazan State Medical University named after Academician I.P. Pavlov, a study was conducted, the main problems and ways of solving them were identified, related to the organization of the educational process, the conditions of the barrier-free environment and the readiness for professional activity of students with disabilities in inclusive education. An increase in the proportion of university teachers who have undergone advanced training in inclusive education also contributes to solving problems. Adaptation of educational programs and educational and methodological support for persons with disabilities includes psychological, pedagogical and tutor support etc. The organization of the educational process using distance education technologies is one of the priority conditions for teaching students with disabilities and/or HIA. The use of this technology makes it possible to significantly expand and modify some educational standards for students with disabilities in inclusive education, namely, to create an individual way for each student with disabilities in inclusive education in a medical university. It is proposed to use training techniques such as: online consultation of teachers; VR technologies; availability of training materials 24/7; online webinars that facilitate the inclusion of such students in the educational and research activities of the university. The professionally organized educational space and educational process of the university provide not only a high level of mastery of professional competencies, but also contribute to the formation of personal qualities of students with disabilities in inclusive education, necessary for their successful socialization, life and activity in society.

The development of creative competence of primary school students under the condition of inclusive education

The importance of formation and development of creativity of primary school students is recognized by specialists in pedagogy and psychology. At the same time, one of the topical problems is the increase in the number of children with special educational needs. The purpose of the study is to regard the function of the aesthetic and imaginative perception of the world as a constituent of creative competence of primary school students in the context of a potential growth point for a child with specific learning disabilities. The subject of the study is the dynamics of indicators of creative competence (creative imagination, in particular) demonstrated by children as a result of mastering an integrated set of activities aimed to develop creative thinking in primary school students to be able to solve tasks, as well as to form creative competence, to improve self-expression and self-regulation through the use of tools of creative activities and to introduce children to works of culture and art in the conditions of inclusive education. At the stage of the ascertaining experiment, the creative imagination of children participating in the experiment was evaluated according to the methodologies of Dyachenko O. ("Drawing figures") and Kravtsova E. ("Where is its place?"). The general tendency, which is true for the results of the ascertaining experiment with the application of both methods, is the absence of children with a high level of imagination development in the group studied. Integrated lessons aimed to the formation and development of creative imagination in children with developmental delay were carried out for a year and a half, in inclusive groups. In the course of the complex work, the elements of art therapy, logopedic rhythm, psycho-gymnastics, fairy-tale therapy, dance movement therapy and music therapy were used, the means of theatricalization and dramatization were actively applied. According to the results of the ascertaining experiment, it is revealed that the subjects have the ability to overcome the stereotypes formed on the basis of the accumulated experience, which is one of the elements that determine the success of creative activity. As a result of the study, it was discovered that creative imagination regarded as a component of the creative competence of primary school students could be stimulated and improved with the help of a psychological-pedagogical influence during the application of the methodology of integrated lessons of the aesthetic course.

The Peculiarities of Relationships of Disabled Preschoolers with Their Peers under Inclusive Education Conditions

Introduction. In modern society, there is a tendency to significant deterioration in the health of younger generations and increasing number of children and adolescents with disabilities, most of whom face great difficulties in communicating with peers and people around them. This problem is particularly relevant in connection with the introduction of inclusive education, which is still a new phenomenon under investigation in Russia (as in many other countries). The aim of the present research was to identify and analyse the peculiarities of interpersonal relationships of pre-school children under inclusive education conditions. Methodology and research methods . In the course of the research, the methods of observation, sociometry, projective tests, problem cases and statistical analysis were applied. For psychological diagnostics, the following tests were used: “Captain of the Ship” by A. A. Romanov, “Me and My Friend in a Kindergarten” by N. V. Miklayeva and U. V. Miklayeva, “Diagnostic of Relationships with Peers” by I. A. Orlova and V. M. Kholmogorova, “The Maze” by L. A. Venger, “Pictures” by E. O. Smirnova and E. A. Kalyagina. The results were processed using the Mann - Whitney U-Test. Results and scientific novelty . The peculiarities of interaction between nondisabled children and children with disabilities were investigated on the example of relationships between children in the private inclusive pre-school institution. The psychological problems in pre-school children with disabilities in inclusive kindergarten groups have been established. These psychological problems are reflected in children’s low status positions with underdeveloped communication skills and immature ways of solving conflict situations. These children are most often rejected by the peer group, although in some cases peers can play games and communicate with them. The data obtained in the course of diagnostic activities demonstrate that children with developmental disorders lack interest in communication with their healthy peers; also, they do not desire to interact with peers and response to peers’ initiatives. The authors have not confirmed the hypothesis that children of older pre-school age with disabilities have more favorable interpersonal relations with peers than in younger pre-school age. The theoretical significance of the current research is to enrich special psychology and pedagogical science in the field of inclusion with additional knowledge about the role of peers in the mental development of children with special educational needs. Practical significance . The proposed recommendations will assist the specialists of pre-school educational institutions to harmonise interpersonal relationships of children with disabilities through building their communication skills and increasing their sociometric status. The authors believe that these research materials can be useful for educators and psychologists employed in the filed of inclusive education.

Development of students’ subject position in the process of internship in an inclusive school

Introduction.The requirements of the Federal State Educational Standards for the training of teachers and teachers-psychologists determine the list of competencies in the field of education of children with special educational needs, including the organisation of their joint activities with peers in an inclusive education institution. The implementation of inclusive principles is associated with the development of innovative ways for individualising the pedagogical process, creative nature of mastering learning strategies and socialising children with atypical development, which actualises the problem of transformation of pedagogical thinking stereotypes. In this regard, the professional training of students in the field of inclusive education requires searching for factors aimed at increasing personality subjectivity, development of abilities to demonstrate an active, transformative position, synthesis of know-ledge from various scientific fields, modeling of variative solutions to non-standard situations of inclusive process. An important component of a future teacher education is internship in inclusive schools, in the course of which direct interactions with children with different physical and intellectual capabilities actualise own resources of students and acquisition of required skills.Theaimof the experimental work presented in this publication is to identify the development factors and characteristics of a student’s subjective position in the process of continuous internship in inclusive education institutions.Methodology and research methods.The present research is based on the methodological principles of the subjective and learner-centred approaches, as well as the provisions of the concept of transformability focused on the principle of permanent multiplication of success of each participant of the educational process. The questionnaire “Level of Personality Subjectivity” by M. A. Schukina and the questionnaire revealing a model of teacher-child interaction developed by V. G. Maralov, V. A. Sitarov were used as diagnostic tools. The method of qualitative analysis of students’ reflexive judgments was applied. The data was processed in the SPSS programme using mathematical statistics methods (Mann – Whitney U-test).Results and scientific novelty.A working definition of the subject position of the teacher is given. The teacher’s subject position consists not only in the complex of specific knowledge and competencies learned and applied in practice, but also, and above all, in a high level of self-organisation and self-determination of the individual in non-standard situations. For the first time in the Russian education system, the authors of the present research made an attempt to implement the idea of future teachers’ preparation for activities in an inclusive environment through the formation of the subject position. The factors, influencing the development of student’ subjective position, are determined; the peculiarities of its manifestations are analysed.Practical significance.The results of this experimental study could be of interest to teachers of higher education, teachers and heads of educational organisations, working in the conditions of inclusive education.

Организационно-содержательные аспекты реализации инклюзивного образования

This article discusses the implementation of a model of inclusive education in general education organizations and the construction of an educational route for students with disabilities. It is through the substantive and organizational sections of the adapted basic general education programmes that special conditions are created and observed to ensure that children with special needs and disabilities have equal access to quality education in general education organizations, taking into account the peculiarities of their psychophysical development and the recommendations of psychological, medical and pedagogical commissions. The main aim of the study is to systematize and improve the professional competencies in supervisors and teachers – members of the working groups on the development of adapted basic general education programs of educational organizations. In order to achieve the aim of this study, the following analytical methods have been employed: retrospective analysis of scientific literature, content analysis of periodical press and proceedings of scientific conferences on the subject; as well as practical methods (including own experience of working in the fields of specialized education and advanced training). In addition, BE of FVE “Chuvash Republican Institute of Education of the Ministry of Education of Chuvashia” proposed a program of advanced training “Organizational and Substantive Aspects of Inclusive Education,” based on legal, theoretical and methodological principles. The results of the conducted study show that supervisors and teachers – members of the working groups – are gaining significant practical knowledge of developing adapted basic general education programmes. It can be concluded that the planned results of the program suggest elimination of professional deficiency concerning the organizational and substantive issues of constructing an educational route for children with disabilities in conditions of inclusive education, as well as development of adapted basic general education programs of an educational organization.

THE READINESS OF TEACHERS OF THE MODERN UKRAINIAN SCHOOL TO WORK IN THE INCLUSIVE EDUCATION CONDITIONS

Currently, the Ukrainian educational system is undergoing significant changes. The article discusses necessity of updating training technologies that contribute to improving the quality of educational process.In the context of educational reforms, the question of implementation expediency of inclusive learning and increasing requirements for the teachers has become very important. Most respondents positively comment on the role of inclusion in the educational process of a secondary school or kindergarten fully or partly agree that inclusive education should be one of the education forms for children with disabilities, although not all teachers are motivated to implement the ideas of inclusion in their teaching practice. This is confirmed by quantitative data on the criterion of motivational and value readiness. As the main argument – justifying the respondents’ lack of motivation to work in conditions of inclusive education can be attributed to a lack of necessary knowledge about peculiarities of the development of children with disabilities, their special educational needs and ways of meeting these needs with the use of special corrective-pedagogical influence methods. The teachers’ operational-active readiness to work in inclusive education mainly corresponds to the average level. This is an insufficient indicator due to respondents’ lack of knowledge about the principles and understanding of inclusive education tasks as well as lack of ability to select effective teaching methods and techniques, technologies of personalized support for a child with disabilities.The analysis of the teachers’ reflective-evaluation readiness to work in the inclusive education conditions showed that respondents adequately assess their own professional competence in the inclusive field. They indicate their existing difficulties and problems and seek to highlight causes. In addition: teachers cannot analyze available resources and identify opportunities for organizing inclusive practice; they cannot evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed methods and techniques for teaching children with disabilities; they cannot detect existing problems.

Legal Barriers in the System of University Inclusive Education

Introduction. The introduction of inclusive education into the practice of university education is a complicated and multi-aspect process accompanied by a complex of problems, including the problems of a legal nature. The solution of these problems is one of key tasks faced by the education system of Russia.The aim of the present research is to reveal and describe normative and legal barriers in the system of inclusive higher education, withdrawing the equal rights for education for all students regardless of their physical status and health.Methodology and research methods. The methods involve the analysis of legal and regulatory acts, regulating the orders and conditions of inclusive education at higher school. Russian and foreign literature on different aspects of inclusive education in higher school was reviewed, generalised and sistematised. The modelling method was employed.Results. On the basis of the existing legal norms, the reflection of the analysed materials made it possible to model the system of interaction between the participants of inclusive educational process – people with disabilities (HIA) and educational organisations. The constructed “theoretical” model allowed the authors to diagnose inclusion in higher education and to identify weaknesses in the provisions, which regulate the education of people with disabilities. Certain contradictions were found in the legal field of relations between these categories of students and educational institutions. The attention is drawn to the fact that in today’s Russia the system of spesialised support for universities and for students with special needs is being formed, including resource training centres. However, these structures need to determine their place and status in the field of educational rights.Scientific novelty. The authors firstly formulate the legal barriers, impeding the continuity of psychological medico-pedagogical support for students with disabilities. The conclusion is reached concerning the signs of discrimination in the rights of students with special educational needs and the urgent need for improved higher inclusive education, including the optimisation at the level of legislative regulation.Practical significance. The authors believe that introduction of changes into normative regulations with the purpose to provide equal rights and opportunities for receiving education by all citizens will contribute to more dynamic and orderly development of university inclusion in Russia and will help people with health disabilities to become full members of society.

Introduction. Scientific research is dedi- cated to the relevant pedagogical problem - readiness diagnostic of primary school teachers to educational activ- ity in the conditions of inclusive education. The problem is considered as existence of contradictions between social order on preparation of competent teacher, that is able to organize coeducation of children with the special educational needs and children with normal development as well as in the noncompliance with the requirements of the level of readiness of primary school teachers and insufficient educational-methodological and diagnostic provision of this process. The goal of this article is to separate the content-structural components of primary school teachers' readiness to the work in conditions of inclusive education, criteria, indicators and stages of teacher`s readiness to work in the conditions of inclusive education, that gives the opportunity to provide objective diagnostic. Stages of teachers` readiness are considered not only by degree of components readiness, criteria and indicators of its ap- pearance in professional activity, but also with taking into account the continuity and phasing of the process, gradu- al complication, expansion of spheres of activity, increas- ing the complexity of educational tasks in the professional context. On the basis of theoretical analysis and data generalization of experimental studies of my own pedagogical experience was founded, that teacher`s readiness to work in the inclusive education conditions is the unity of four components: motivational value, cognitive activity, personal reflective and communicative components. These components are realized by the motivational, axiological, cognitive-procedural, reflective and evaluative and communicative criteria. The same amount of indicators were selected for each component to optimize the process of diagnostics. According to the criteria, such stages of teachers` training for educational activity in the inclusive education conditions were separated: height, intermediate, middle and low.
