Forms of integrated learning
According to the organization of the educational process, four forms of integrated learning are distinguished:
- attending a regular secondary school class;
- attending a special class in a secondary school;
- studying in a correctional school with subsequent transfer to a general education school;
- full or partial inclusion in the educational process during vocational training.

Integrated learning technology
The concept of integrated learning includes not only a tolerant attitude, but also the use of modern technologies in education. After all, the transition to this type of progressive education requires modernizing the entire school system. Namely:
- attract the necessary specialists who will assist teachers during teaching;
- use innovative pedagogical solutions and ideas;
- adapt the curriculum to take into account the characteristics of all children in an integrated class;
- place emphasis on the development of creative and cognitive abilities;
- actively involve parents in the educational process.
When working with special children, the teacher needs the help of a specialized specialist
Who is suitable for integrated learning?
The methodology of integrated education comes from a special (correctional) approach to teaching children with disabilities. At first glance, it may seem like a panacea, but this is not entirely true. Integrated education has problems - it is not suitable for all children with inclusion.
Before deciding on integrated education for a child, it is worth showing it to a specialist. He will take into account whether there are external and internal conditions that signal that children are ready for this form of study.
| External conditions | Internal conditions |
| functional disorders were identified at the earliest stages of life | the degree of inclusion does not prevent the child from studying with other children |
| parents are serious about helping their child in the learning process | the child’s abilities allow him to master the curriculum in full |
| there is an opportunity to organize qualified correctional work | the child is psychologically ready for school |
| there are conditions and environment for integrated learning |
If a child has significant deviations in his psycho-emotional and physical condition, then no matter how strong the parents’ desire to educate him in a regular school, in this case it is better to choose a specialized (correctional) class.
Principles of integrated learning
Integrated learning has its own principles and features:
- develops the individual characteristics of each child;
- creates conditions for close interaction between the school, teachers, specialists and parents;
- teaches a specific culture that helps children respect children who are different from them and accept differences without offending others;
- creates a supportive space where every child feels valued and able to cope with all tasks.
