Social and pedagogical aspects of the development of inclusive education

aspects of implementing inclusive education in the conditions of
integration of Ukraine and other former Soviet countries into
a global educational space, and also characterizes important
socio-pedagogical aspects of the inclusive environment.
It emphasizes a demand for forming a new philosophy of
education with regard to changing attitudes towards persons
with disabilities, especially in post-Soviet countries, as remaining
traditional views and beliefs of today concerning teaching
students with disabilities and their biased perception in society
are still dominant. Gender stereotypes about inclusive education
that characterize the mindset of a particular nation are also
considered. Socio-pedagogical barriers of inclusion are
presented. The article highlights important aspects of
establishing an effective pedagogical cooperation between
schools and families of students with special educational needs
(SEN) and suggests tentative forms of work with parents at
inclusive schools. The authors offer examples of the practical use
of didactic materials in ESL/EFL teaching at elementary school, in
particular inclusive graphic posters and audio-visual aids for
forming democratic values and tolerant attitudes towards
students with disabilities and SEN.
