Abstract

Relevance. In general education institutions and classrooms, it is often possible to meet children with disabilities who need a special approach to learning. In order to make it easier for such children to adapt, special methods and technologies are needed that will help children study educational material. This is the job of a teacher, who must have a number of properties and qualities to create a comfortable inclusive education.

Purpose. The purpose of the article was to determine the qualities and conditions that future teachers should have in the process of inclusive education.

Methodology. In this study, questionnaires were used to determine the level of tolerance, psychological stability, empathy, and communication skills to achieve the goal. The first of these questionnaires helped identify the level of pedagogical and psychological readiness for inclusive education, and the findings showed that students of the 1st and 2nd years of the speciality “Psychology” are not ready for such education, especially through low motivation.

Results. The study showed that professional qualities in inclusive education are better demonstrated by senior students (3rd-4th year), rather than junior students (1st-2nd year). The characteristics of such personal components as the level of motivation, the level of social adaptation and the level of psychological stability depend on the level of informativeness of students and their experience in inclusive education. In addition, the study highlighted the level of empathy and tolerance that develop students’ ability to communicate correctly and competently with children, understand their condition, and contribute to the learning process. As in previous questionnaires, these qualities are at a high level among undergraduates.

Conclusions. This study identified the main components of psychological and pedagogical training of students, which will allow them to work with children with special needs, and help them quickly adapt to a different type of learning.

Keywords: motivation; personal qualities; psychological tension; purposefulness; sociability
