Läraren- en avgörande person i arbetet med elever med särskilda behov
En jämförande studie mellan Sverige och Kroatien om lärarnas insatser i undervisningen
The purpose of this study is to explore how teachers in Sweden and Croatia work with children that have problems like ADHD and dyslexia in school. I have chosen to compare pedagogical methods between Swedish and Croatian teachers which are used in work with children with difficulties when it comes to the education and teachers approach to these children. I have done a qualified study and have interviewed teachers in both Sweden and Croatia and one specialist in pedagogy in Croatia. I compared with these interviews information from earlier studies and literature. Results show that teachers in Sweden are of the opinion that every student who has these difficulties is different and therefore the use a variation of pedagogical strategies is crucial. They also mean that help in terms of more frequent staffing ratio would improve whole school situation for children with difficulties. Teachers in Croatia are of the opinion that their work can not compensate absence of the economical supplies in Croatians schools. Therefore are children with difficulties sentenced to fail in their studies according to the interviewed teachers.I came to the conclusion that students with difficulties are better suited in Sweden then in Croatia because in Sweden teachers have knowledge in this area and are trying to choose which methods are suitable on students.
