SPECIAL NEEDS EDUCATION PERSPECTIVES IN THE PRACTICE OF LEISURE-TIME CENTRES

Journal Title: Problems of Education in the 21st Century - Year 2014, Vol 62, Issue 12

Abstract

This study carried out at Linnaeus University in the spring of 2012 where students in a special needs education module problematised the teacher’s mission with the focus on being able to face differences among children in a pedagogical activity. The aim of the study was to make visible how the teaching and learning of values and attitudes can be promoted in educational practice, as well as to examine student views on including values for leisure-time centre work as stated in the target documents. In the study the students were required to observe activities primarily from the perspective of special needs education concepts referred to as categorical and relational. The results of the observations point to a number of concrete professional pedagogical actions that can be linked to a relational special pedagogy approach.
