Abstract

Inclusive education presents a significant challenge for contemporary society. All children should have the opportunity to develop according to their educational needs within an inclusive environment. The effectiveness of the school support team plays a crucial role in achieving this goal. This research aimed to explore the perspectives of teaching staff in kindergartens, including headmasters, teachers, and teaching assistants, regarding inclusive education, with a specific focus on their views and attitudes towards the roles of school special educators and teaching assistants in preschool education. A mixed-methods research strategy was employed to achieve this aim. Data were collected using a self-constructed questionnaire containing both closed and open items, completed by 394 respondents from 142 kindergartens. The findings indicated that teaching staff perceived the existence of a school support team as having a positive impact on addressing various children's issues and enhancing teachers' work. These results contribute to a broader understanding of the roles and responsibilities of the members of a school support team in kindergartens. Keywords: inclusive education, kindergarten, preschool education, school special educator, school support team, teaching assistant

学校支持团队在幼儿园全纳教育中的作用和责任

全纳教育是当代社会面临的一项重大挑战。所有儿童都应有机会在全纳环境中根据自己的教育需求得到发展。在实现这一目标的过程中，学校支持团队的有效性起着至关重要的作用。本研究旨在探讨幼儿园教学人员（包括园长、教师和助教）对全纳教育的看法，特别关注他们对学校特殊教育人员和助教在学前教育中的作用的看法和态度。为实现这一目标，我们采用了混合方法研究策略。数据收集使用了一份自制问卷，其中包含封闭式和开放式项目，由来自 142 所幼儿园的 394 名受访者填写。结果表明，教职员工认为学校支持团队的存在对解决各种儿童问题和加强教师工作有积极影响。这些结果有助于更广泛地了解幼儿园学校支持团队成员的角色和职责。关键词：全纳教育；幼儿园；学前教育；学校特殊教育者；学校支持团队；教学助理
