SCHOOL INCLUSION AND EDUCATION OF CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS IN ROMANIAN EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM; ANALYTICAL STUDY

Summary/Abstract: The school for diversity allowed for a new approach to the learning activities in school, which is also determined by the need to ensure equal opportunities for access to education for all members of a community. In this respect, many studies have evaluated teacher attitudes towards the integration and inclusion of children with special educational needs in schools. Our research aimed at identifying a significant relationship between the attitudes of teachers in mass education on the school inclusion of students with SEN and the underlying factors. The group of subjects included a total of 961 teachers in primary and middle education in Romania. The findings of the research have shown the existence of a diversity of attitudes, perceptions and opinions about the opportunity of integrating students with SEN into mainstream education; some perceptions highlight the role and importance of common learning experiences in a school and focus on the need for special efforts by all actors involved, both at system and school level. There are also opponents who do not exploit this educational practice in schools in our country, but are rather attached to the traditional model partially characterized by numerous prejudices, stereotypes and negative attitudes towards students with SEN.
