Question is… What we will have to do for better process to come to primary school? Inclusion Exam of readiness

Actual… Šmelová E. + research team Teachers aren´t prepare Teachers wouldn´t like to prepare Provázková Stolinská + research team Integrated pupils were among the less popular pupils in class The position of a good friend was elected by no integrated pupil Some were identified as a social outsider or underdog

Conclusion and discusion Not generalized data – just notice! What about is the social development of all children - both integrated and intact. Is it really so? How can affect the efficiency of integration? Is it necesarry to use the exam of readiness? What about it will be the process? How we could make better the communication inside the class with integrated pupils? How we could develop the communication skills of the children with special needs?
