  • The assessment of children with special needs
    Mozetič Hussu, Amelija ; Strle, Marko
    The assessment of children with special needs is already, and still is, a dilemma in the everyday school's life either form the teachers' point of view to the pupils' one and their parents' too. Our ... intent was to detect what are the practices of assessing children with special needs which are included in a mainstream and are given adequate learning aid, to find out what are the problems in assessing those pupils and to present some best practices of assessing children with special needs. In the research were included more than one hundred teachers from primary and secondary schools who already have had some experiences in teaching children with special needs. They were asked to complete a survey about assessing children, making tests, motivating pupils, defining criteria and problems that arise when they have to assess pupils, especially those with special needs. They also had the possibility to present their own best practices in assessing children with special needs. The results show that teachers are fairly independent in assessing children with special needs. Generally they have fewer problems when assessing children that are hearing-impaired, physically-impaired or visually-impaired. On the other hand they have major problems in assessing children with specific language impairment or children with ADD or ADHD. They have difficulties in evaluating tests with free response items, essays and performance tests. Teachers acknowledged that team work could help them in gaining more confidence especially if they can share their opinions with professionals that know a pupil best and were already working with him. They realize that establishing clear goals and developing a team based approach in evaluating the individual's achievements is a plus.
