From today's perspective, the right of persons with disabilities to education is considered as standard in developed countries. Each individual can be considered a unique personality, notwithstanding persons with visual impairment. Based on their uniqueness and individuality, each personality is different with regards to their needs from the perspective of education. For persons with visual impairment, we have to consider the scope of education, opt for adequate approaches, forms, etc. Heftiness of caring for such individual is very high, furthermore the subsequent possibilities for development of such persons with respect to future job possibilities are limited. In the Czech Republic, the issue of education and especially equal approach to education is included within statutory standards. In the Czech Republic, meeting the obligation of practical compliance of legislative changes took place relatively quickly, the issue being supervision, including feedback and whether the established concept, together with the change in curriculum, brought improvement in the quality of training pupils with visual impairment. The main issue is whether pupils with special needs leave primary school with such competencies that correspond to the contents defined in the Framework Educational Programme for Primary Schools. Many years have passed since the concept of educating pupils with special needs was introduced, but no studies identifying the level of readiness in primary education graduates who fall under the category of persons with visual impairment have yet been carried out. Owing to the great scope of the given issue, investigation of given competencies cannot be carried out within a short period of time, we have therefore only focused on certain areas, the results of which we would like to present.
Příspěvek teoreticko-výzkumného zaměření poukazuje na výzkumný design v podobě případové studie, stejně jako v její jedné z mnoha podob-mnohopřípadové studie. Jsou shrnuty dostupné informace o typologii případových studií, které mohou být využity napříč výzkumu v tzv. pomáhajících profesích, včetně výzkumu pedagogického a speciálně pedagogického. Praktické využití designu mnohopřípadové studie je ilustrováno na autorském kvalitativním výzkumu tzv. limitů životního stylu u osob s chronickými onemocněními, přičemž cílovou skupinu zkoumaného souboru tvořily případy s roztroušenou sklerózou mozkomíšní. Výstupy výzkumu byly uplatněny také v sumarizaci výhod a možných limitů pro užití tohoto designu. Jelikož je design případové studie široce uplatnitelný, je význam příspěvku směřován do oblastí pedagogického, speciálně pedagogického výzkumu, stejně jako do oblasti tzv. pomáhajících profesí.
Article provides insight into the procedural and theoretical framework of a study conducted by the Palacký University Olomouc – Faculty of Education, into factors that affect the educability and scholastic successfulness of children (pupils). It focuses on the differences in basal functions measured using the established methodology of B. Sindelar diagnostic and re-educational exercises. These were measured among first-graders who were either neurotypical, had been diagnosed with deficiencies of partial functions or were suspected of having such deficiencies.
In recent years, the importance of education has kept on growing, and therewith also demands for quality of education. It is not only the demands of healthy population that are important, but also demands for the quality of educational process for persons with disabilities, specifically persons with visual impairment. The text is focused on the issue of utilizing "incentive measures" in educational process of pupils with visual impairment. Such incentive measures are considered to be the use of special methods, approaches, forms and means of education, furthermore utilizing assistive and physiotherapeutic equipment, special textbooks and teaching materials, inclusion of subjects from special educational care (e.g. spatial orientation, teaching PC work, speech and language therapy), reduced number of pupils in a class, provision of an assistant teacher as well as other measures. Implementing "incentive measures" directly impacts quality of education provided to these persons. Actual utilization and expedience of "incentive measures" was surveyed in the Czech Republic's territory at schools for persons with visual impairment. Analysis of the current state and its evaluation, with the option of providing feedback to respective facilities and utilizing the processed information, seemed to be a suitable option. Research was carried out with the assistance of pupils with visual impairment as well as with teachers participating in education.
