Prospective Special Educators’ Perception of Inclusive Education by Reflection in their Practical Studies at the University

Abstract

The study is based on the results of academic research, and focused on the experience reflections of students involved in Special Education. The students reflected on their experience during practical studies at the University. By applying the method of phenomenological hermeneutics, research data revealed that the experience of students acquired in practical activities while performing observational practice and perceiving the knowledge of the studies field in more detail, formed preconditions for reflective learning in the continuation of their University studies. The analysis of student reflections made it possible to distinguish four key topics that revealed the relationship of the contents of students' experiences with their personal and professional qualities in the context of social activities, and students’ personal identification with their professional activities, and the arrangement of professional activities focusing on a child’s socialization and perceiving his/her “true-life“ as well as manifestation tendencies of one’s needs.
