Course objectives
The seminar will offer theoretical and methodological insight into the issue of culturally sensitive education (not only the education of pupils with a different mother tongue). Students will gain an overview of the possibilities of including pupils with cultural and ethnic differences in mainstream education and understand the principles of support measures provided by the Czech education system. We will also introduce the Derdoff´s model of intercultural competencies and try to cultivate these competencies in practice. We will present a wide range of methodological materials that learners will be able to use, navigate and critically reflect on.
Learning outcomes
Upon completion of the course, the student will be able to: - describe the target groups of students and introduce the issue of culturally sensitive approach in the context of the Czech Republic - orient in the basic principles of inclusive education and reflect critically on these principles - orient themselves in the system of support measures, in alternative approaches to support pupils with cultural difference - characterise institutions and organisations dealing with the education of pupils with SEN and inclusive education - make active use of supporting information and methodological materials
