Inicijalno obrazovanje vaspitača I njihove profesionalne kompetencije za rad u inkluzivnom okruženju

Abstract

Isidora Korać, Marijana Kosanović and Jasmina Klemenović’s paper Initial Education of Teachers and their Professional Competences for Work in Inclusive Environments presents research findings about teachers’ opinions on the contribution of their initial education in gaining the competences required for work with children who needed additional support. It was concluded that there is a need for certain conceptual and organisational changes in the initial education of teachers which would facilitate the development of their competences for work in inclusive environments. In addition to introducing additional contents from the field of inclusive education in existing study programs, increasing the contribution of professional practice in undergraduate curriculum, there is also a need to reduce the gap between theoretical and practical knowledge.
