THE LEVEL OF INCLUSION FOR STUDENTS WITH VISUAL IMPAIRMENT IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Over the last twenty five years, the inclusion of pupils and students with visual impairment has been possible in the Czech Republic. It is necessary to find actual situation in practice to evaluate the benefits and risks of current methods and supportive strategies. The aim of this paper is focused on charting the actual level of inclusion of pupils/students with visual impairment aged 7 to 18 years in physical education. This data is important to upgrade the quality of inclusion in Czech schools. A quan/qual research design was used in research surveys. The research group consists of experts - special education teachers and advisers and physical education teachers at primary and secondary schools in the Czech Republic, who teach pupils with visual impairment. We concentrate on the assessment of teachers’ competence in support strategies and in the quality of environmental conditions; assessment of the level of use of support aids and strategies for the education; assessment of the level of teachers’ experience and regarding the subject of PE and level of support from experts from regional support center for pupils/students with visual impairment. The results show that the level of education and provision of support measures is still unsatisfactory in a large number of schools. Based on the results, the following recommendations are formulated: To improve the awareness of schools about the possibilities of education and to support the motivation of teachers for their completion. It is also necessary to increase the number of teaching assistants for the subject of PE and/or reduce the number of pupils in PE lessons. It is also important to ensure control activity in schools concerning the provision of support measures, including aids and environmental adaptations for which schools annually receive finances. Education of primary school pupils in the area of locomotor development should be regarded essential for future exercise regimen and prevention of lifestyle diseases. Pupils with visual impairment belong to the risk group of persons with lack of movement. But majority of pupils with visual impairment are educated inclusively; however, researches focused on the quality of physical education lessons in the Czech Rep. have not been implemented yet. The research results will become the basis for monitoring the development of quality of education following the new legislative norms of the Education Act. The basic anticipated reflection of the new legal system is an increase in the number of pupils with VI participating in PE and introduction of further support measures into PE lessons.Moreover, the results will help create special means of support for teachers at mainstream schools to educate pupils with visual impairment.
