The principles of inclusion in the context of modern education

2980

Abstract

We discuss the questions of methodological foundations of inclusion in education, focus on values and moral conditions of social changes in educational activities. The basic units of the author’s reasoning are the principles of inclusive education that formulate new contexts in the construction of educational relations between participants of inclusive process. We discuss three questions, worth paying attention to: the development of the inclusive culture in the educational community; meaningful choice of inclusive development path of an educational organization; orientation of psychological studies of inclusion. Drawing on the social nature of the process of inclusion, the author highlights the problem of the educational culture of the school community, discusses the idea of considering inclusion as a necessary step in the evolution of consciousness of all participants of educational process. We attempt to raise the question of the methodology of psycho-pedagogical studies of inclusive education practice relying on scientific heritage of domestic psychological science and the experience of foreign studies.
