Abstract

Since 2011 primary school students with special educational needs (SEN) in Ukraine have been allowed to study alongside mainstream students in the inclusive education program established by the Ministry of Education and Science. The Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 challenged the possibility of maintaining inclusive education for children with SEN, which required providers to find new solutions. This paper focuses on the first response of inclusion providers in the Ukrainian primary school education system to the challenges of working in wartime from February to May 2022, using teachers in the city of Kryvyi Rih as a case study. A quasi-experimental study (n=495) involved a group of inclusion providers (n=92) in comparison to mainstream primary school teachers (n=403). The research included: collecting data on the professional qualifications and experience of the teachers; questions on changes in the educational process and the number of students; the Psychological Stress Measure; Oldenburg Burnout Inventory; Brief Resilience Scale; and Miroshnyk Teacher’s Roles Self-Assessment Scale (MiTeRoSA), designed as an online survey. The inclusion providers faced numerous challenges due to the war, namely, (a) the enormous workload of preparing for classes (φ*=8.7, p<.01), the extended non-educational work assignments (φ*=5.5, p<.01), working with students (φ*=2.9, p<.01) and their parents (φ*=3.5, p<.01), (b) volunteering at school, and (c) the changed composition of student groups, i.e., students who left school and fled the area (in 64.1% of responses) and incoming students displaced from combat zones (27.2%). Struggling with stress and burnout (self-reported by 48.91% of inclusion providers), using psychological self-care skills and social resilience capacity through the support of the student's parents and colleagues, primary school teachers invented and implemented seven ways to maintain education for the students with SEN, the kind of which depended on the teacher's professional role structure and available social support.
为战时乌克兰有特殊教育需要的儿童提供全纳小学教育:挑战与当前解决方案
自2011年以来,乌克兰有特殊教育需求的小学生(SEN)被允许与主流学生一起在教育和科学部建立的全纳教育计划中学习。俄罗斯在2022年2月入侵乌克兰,对特殊教育儿童维持全纳教育的可能性提出了挑战,这需要提供者寻找新的解决方案。本文主要关注乌克兰小学教育系统中的包容性提供者对2022年2月至5月战时工作挑战的第一反应,并以克雷维里市的教师为案例研究。一项准实验研究(n=495)涉及一组包容提供者(n=92)与主流小学教师(n=403)的比较。研究内容包括:收集教师的专业资格和经验数据;关于教育过程和学生人数变化的问题;心理压力测量;奥尔登堡倦怠量表;简要弹性量表;Miroshnyk教师角色自我评估量表(MiTeRoSA),设计为在线调查。由于战争,包容性提供者面临着许多挑战,即:(a)备课的巨大工作量(φ*=8.7, p< 0.01),扩展的非教育工作任务(φ*=5.5, p< 0.01),与学生(φ*=2.9, p< 0.01)及其父母(φ*=3.5, p< 0.01)合作,(b)在学校志愿服务,以及(c)学生群体组成的变化,即离开学校逃离该地区的学生(64.1%)和从战区流离失所的新生(27.2%)。面对压力和倦怠(48.91%的融合提供者自我报告),运用心理自我照顾技能和社会弹性能力,在学生家长和同事的支持下,小学教师发明并实施了七种方法来维持特殊教育学生的教育,这些方法取决于教师的职业角色结构和现有的社会支持。
