Abstract

By supporting children with disabilities, learning and support assistants have become an essential component of inclusive education in regular schools. Assistants in European countries have various levels of vocational training, but they do not consider themselves to be adequately qualified for what are often highly demanding duties. In an attempt to raise standards, five web-based knowledge boxes have been developed within the Erasmus+ project, ‘Improving Assistance in Inclusive Educational Settings II’. The knowledge boxes are available open access through a learning platform and focus on different aspects of inclusion and disabilities. Learning and support assistants, as well as children from five different European countries, participated in the creation of this tool for professional development. In addition, the knowledge boxes are to be evaluated by assistants, parents, teachers and students in order to assess the impact of the knowledge boxes on the competencies in inclusive education of assistants.
知识盒的概念-学习和支持助理的专业发展工具
通过支持残疾儿童,学习和支助助理已成为普通学校全纳教育的重要组成部分。欧洲国家的助理接受过不同程度的职业培训,但他们认为自己不足以胜任通常要求很高的工作。为了提高标准,在Erasmus+项目“改善包容性教育环境II”中开发了五个基于网络的知识盒。知识盒可通过学习平台开放获取,并侧重于包容和残疾的不同方面。学习和支助助理以及来自五个不同欧洲国家的儿童参与了这一专业发展工具的创建。此外,知识盒将由助理、家长、教师和学生进行评估,以评估知识盒对助理全纳教育能力的影响。
