| Objectives
The course aims to provide the students with insight into various causes why some pupils are defined as divergent, and thereby, are evaluated as having special needs connected to learning. The focus will be on pre-school and school children. Furthermore, the course will provide knowledge about, and insight into, how precautions surrounding pedagogical obstacles such as self-confidence and motivation, as well as development of functional skills connected to living conditions and life quality of young people with disabilities, contribute to the development of a more functional society for all.
| Contents
The course aims to provide the students with a deeper insight as to how children and young people with special needs are met in pre-school and school situations, and in society at large. This will be done through discussing problems and concepts, various case-based assignments, as well as attitudes and personal experiences. We will discuss the problems of normality, deviance, and disabilities from biological, development psychological, sociological and philosophical perspectives.
