The especially pedagogical support for university study of students with the specific educational needs
KUKLOVÁ, Veronika
This bachelor thesis investigates a special educational support provided to university and college students with specific educational needs. This support is carried out by advisory centres, which help students with facilitation of their studies and orientation in the academic environment, as well as try to balance their studies and therefore compensate limits that accompany medical disadvantage or disability. The main aim of this thesis lies in an analysis of the resemblance of special educational support at the public college and universities. Particular goals are to determine, whether there are at the universities and colleges internal policies present concerning the support of students with specific educational needs, and to investigate, whether the private institutions provide the support to students with special educational needs as well. The paper consists of theoretical and practical parts and of the appendix. In the theoretical part we find three main chapters. The first one deals largely with discerning of specific and special educational needs. Simultaneously, it includes also a characteristic of students with sensory disability, somatic disability or with chronic disorders. Furthermore, it provides information on students with psychological disorders or with a specific learning disability. Second chapter focuses on the process of tertiary education and on differentiation of public and private institutions. The last chapter of the theoretical section is concerned with the form of special educational support and special counselling. A quantitative analysis was used for the practical part of the paper. The collection of the data was carried out by the method of content analysis and questioning. The research sample consisted of 18 centres of public tertiary education institutions providing support and of 2 expert centres of private schools. Collected data from public institutions were analysed and divided into three relevant categories. Analysed data from private schools were categorised by the availability and arrangement of the support for students with specific educational needs. Consequently, the data set was gathered, categorised and then compared to the results of the research. From the conclusion of the practical part, some recommendation emerged for optimization of some of the study events. The description of executing support for final state exams are nowhere to be found in the internal policies of researched schools, some attention could therefore be focused on the events of final state exams; partly on the execution of the actual exams, partly on the final thesis and their defences. The current situation at the public institution should provide some inspiration to the private schools. By inspiration is, in this case, meant the area of providing specialized counselling for applicants for studies and for students with specialized educational needs. Also, another possible improvement could be made in public schools, if the institution was able to create optimal conditions of the study for the students with physical disability and medical handicap. This thesis can be used by future students with specific educational needs, in the revised form it can provide information about the possibilities of study, which is supported by the experts from the tertiary education institutions. Perspective student can find information on the extent of support of specialized educational needs in the Czech Republic. The thesis can benefit experts as well, it can also help the spread the knowledge of of this problem throughout the public.
