About the course
Aim
After completing the course the student should - have an overview of the Swedish school system and the policies on which it is based - be familiar with concepts such as special education, inclusive education, integration, segregation and special needs - have some knowledge of how special needs education is organized in Sweden - be able to reflect on inclusive education from different perspectives - have some knowledge as regards children with special needs, such as social-emotional problems, cognitive deficiencies, dyslexia and other learning disabilities, and how their needs can be met in educational settings.
Content
The course takes its departure in a description of the Swedish school system and the political decisions that it is built on. The main points of the National Curricula for both elementary and secondary education are looked into, as well as policy documents that constitute the base for special education. Different perspectives on special education are studied as well as ideas and theories behind integration, segregation, and inclusive education. Various forms of special needs among children and youth are also studied, and ways of how to meet these needs are discussed. The theoretical studies are intertwined with study visits to schools and institutions where special needs education can be observed in practice.
