Aims: The course aims to provide an overview of some of the most current research topics and empirical findings concerning the education and development of children and young adults with special educational needs. The course introduces five individual research programs investigating different aspects of special education, but mainly focusing on general learning disabilities (mild intellectual disabilities) and behavioural issues. Learning outcomes and competences: Knowledge: Students are aware of… · some of the research topics related to the education of children and young adults with special educational needs. · some basic specific research methodological issues, methods and research ethics principles related to people with disabilities. · Skills: Students are able to… · apply basic knowledge of research methodology adaptively according to the specific disability group, recognising the appropriate research method for the specific disability group and research topic. Seek to use inclusive research methodologies where possible. · read scientific texts in their field of specialisation independently in at least one foreign language, understand the basic literature on disability and special needs education, reflect on it professionally and use it in a scientific paper with appropriate references. · recognise the presence or absence of a scientific basis for a method. Attitude: · Students consciously represent the methodological culture of special needs education and its frontier disciplines and co-disciplines. · In their research on persons with disabilities, they fully consider the related ethical issues.
