The Role of Primary School in Terms of Pupils with Mild Mental Retardation in the Context of the Amendment to Act No. 82/2015 Coll

The aim of my bachelor thesis was to find out how did the work of the teacher with the pupil with mild mental disabilities change within the term of changes introduced by the amendment to the Education Act. I have divided the bachelor thesis into two parts - a theoretical and a practical part. In the theoretical part, I tried to write up some important information about the issue of inclusive education, which I drew from selected specialized literature. As a way of confirming the content of the theoretical part, I chose qualitative research. I decided to realize it via structured interviews. I contacted several schools in Příbram District, where I wanted to realize the research. Of more than fifteen originally addressed schools, I finally got three respondents, the leading pedagogical worker. Before the implementation of the research, I have established five research questions that I evaluated after the interviews. My bachelor thesis may have a scientific contribution to pedagogical workers who have not yet made their own point of view about the education of pupils with mild mental disabilities in usual elementary schools. Except for the theoretical concepts concerning about the education of pupils with mild mental disabilities, they can take a look into the practical part that will bring the situation closer to them and will show them how the common education takes place in other schools. The most of the new findings I learned during the elaboration of my bachelor thesis was during the interviews with the pedagogical workers who have explained to me how the situation of common education actually works.
