Integrovaná tělesná výchova – limity a návrhy jejich řešení

Abstract

Integration of students with disabilities (DD) in mainstream education is becoming a reality in a number of mainstream schools. However, the success can be very variable. Most of the school subjects are supported by special educational needs advice centres. Unfortunately, integration in Physical Education (PE) is very often overlooked. In general, disabled children are often released from PE. The most common reasons are barriers (not only architectural), concerns of parents, lack of teachersʼ competence, lack of equipment, etc. Properly conducted Physical Education can significantly help to form positive interpersonal relationships, develop a range of social skills, self-confidence, and communication skills. It can also help to participate in successful ontogenesis psychomotor functions. Furthermore, interaction with disabled students can help intact students to develop positive qualities. In this paper, we present selected perceived limits of integrated PE and offer solutions based on experience in dealing with projects of the APA Centre, FTK UP in Olomouc.
