Behaviour issues among students with visual impairment in general, integrated and special schools

Abstract

The article presents the problem of behaviour issues among students with visual impairment from the perspective of teachers working in inclusive, integrated and special schools. The theoretical part addresses the current problems of education in special pedagogy and describes blind and visually impaired students' behaviour issues which have been scientifically analysed. The empirical part is analysis of teachers’ views on the educational problems of students with visual impairment that are categorized according to the typology of N. Havers. In the last part there is an attempt to explain a higher incidence of educational problems among the group of pupils in inclusive and integrated schools compared to children from special schools. There are three spheres of explanation: the imbalance between adaptation and emancipation in the educational process, rehabilitating instrumentalism, endogenous and exogenous determinants of educational problems.
