Schools are an educational, cultural and social environment that needs to be high quality, modern and inclusive. A positive experience within the process of inclusion is important not only for pupils entering a comprehensive school, but also for their parents, current pupils and teaching staff of all fields. Included pupils are pupils with language and learning disabilities who need an individual approach, a well-thought-out learning strategy, support and an understanding attitude. The aim of this paper is to theoretically identify the challenges that teachers face in the process of inclusion of pupils with language and learning disabilities. The paper analyses the theory of inclusive education, addresses the aspect of support provision for pupils and draws conclusions. Schools have been entrusted with the nationally important task of creating a cohesive, supportive and nurturing learning environment and compassionate and understanding relationships that help people grow up to be self-confident and ambitious. Only time will allow us to assess whether it was the right strategic decision to include all pupils with language and learning disabilities in comprehensive schools. Despite the challenges of special education transformation, schools have a vision for development and the will to work.","PeriodicalId":276690,"journal":{"name":"Education Reform: Education Content Research and Implementation Problems","volume":"358 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141836519","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When comparing and analyzing the information provided in various studies, the leadership abilities of adults and educators are more often emphasized. The content of competence education reveals how important it is to develop leadership skills in preschool children. During the research, it was concluded that the leadership skills of adults are equivalent to the typical skills of 5-6-year-old children, which develop at this age. Several of these skills are learned by integrating cross-cutting skills into the pedagogical process. As a result of the theoretical analysis, six leadership evaluation criteria and 4 levels of 5-6-year-old children were identified. Children who have developed their leadership skills are more successful in the next stages of education. According to the summary of the results, it can be concluded that every 5-6-year-old child possesses leadership skills to a greater or lesser extent, it is important to notice these skills in time and continue further development based on children's strengths.","PeriodicalId":276690,"journal":{"name":"Education Reform: Education Content Research and Implementation Problems","volume":"356 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141836917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is important for social science students, especially future social science professionals, to develop a holistic experience. Therefore, the purpose of the article is to analyze monological and dialogic methods in the study process. Studies based on verbal text knowledge transfer develop the working memory of a social science professional, but the ability to navigate and work in real professional situations remains very weak. It is hoped that students will acquire the necessary skills in practice, although in reality the acquired theoretical knowledge exists separately from the specific case and the ability to work with this case. The conclusions show, that it is necessary not only to teach students to work with a large amount of information, but also to highlight the importance of how to apply it in practice and whether it is possible at all. The most important conclusions show, that by using the dialogic method, students delve into various events, they develop an \"image\" of the topic, a context is formed for knowledge, an understanding of the studied phenomena is gained, and experience is formed. In order to implement the dialogic method, the teacher places significant emphasis on group relations and processes. Ideally, all group processes become study processes. The method of the article is the analysis of theoretical literature.","PeriodicalId":276690,"journal":{"name":"Education Reform: Education Content Research and Implementation Problems","volume":"20 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138948426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Emotions’ categorization has been well addressed by the scientific community. However, research on emotions carried out in different disciplines enriches the existing knowledge with new findings and novel scientific contributions. The research aims at analysing scientific literature on emotions’ categories underpinning the elaboration of implications for educational practice. The method of categorization of the descriptive research is leveraged in this work for the characterisation of educational practice. Theoretical analysis allows concluding that emotions and education are linked. Emotions, being the innate part of an individual, drive the educational process. The educational process, built on the understanding of emotions as a cognition product, facilitates the development of individual’s emotions. The educational process is implemented in three phases, namely teaching, peer-learning, and learning. Each phase of the educational process has its own objective upon the development of education actors’ emotions. Organisation of only one or two phases of the educational process while omitting the other phase(s) leads to the imbalance of individual’s emotions. Quality of education is influenced by education actors’ emotions.
