Inclusive educational philosophy as a socio-pedagogical phenomenon

Abstract

The basis of the new philosophy of inclusive education was not a medical, but a social model of disability, which claims to be the humanitarian concept of human rights and freedoms. This approach made it possible to overcome the stereotypes of alienation of a person with a disability, to recognize him as a full-fledged member of society, but having special needs. This eliminates the need for „cure”, „correction” of a person with a disability and teaches society to perceive a person as he is. Recognition of this direction as key at the level of the Council of Europe and other international organizations stimulated the holding at the end of the twentieth century a number of world forums, conferences, meetings, as a result of which a number of declarations and recommendations were prepared, which subsequently radically changed the system of higher education by developing methods and techniques for working with a student with special educational needs.
