Den Schuleintritt chancengleich gestalten? Ein Modellprojekt der bayerischen Frühförderstellen zur Übergangsbegleitung vom Kindergarten in die Grundschule

Der Schuleintritt kann eine kritische Schwelle sowohl im Leben als auch auf dem Bildungsweg eines Kindes darstellen. Eine präventive und gezielte Begleitung von Kindern und ihrer Familien sowie des pädagogischen Fachpersonals an der Schnittstelle vom Kindergarten in die Schule ist daher von besonderer Bedeutung. Ein Beispiel für eine nachhaltige Übergangsbegleitung, die den ökosystemischen Ansatz verfolgt, ist das seit 2017 von bayerischen Frühförderstellen entwickelte Modellprojekt „Schulstarthelfer – Übergangsbegleitung vom Kindergarten in die Schule“. Dieses begleitet und unterstützt Kinder mit Risikofaktoren und ihre Familien während des Übergangs und vernetzt das pädagogische Fachpersonal aus dem vorschulischen sowie schulischen Bereich, um Gelingensfaktoren zu gewährleisten. Um das Modellprojekt erläutern zu können, bedarf es einer kurzen Vorstellung der Arbeit der Frühförderstellen, ehe auf erste Erkenntnisse der Evaluation des Projekts eingegangen wird. (DIPF/Orig.

International eLearning Approach on Teaching Strategies for Inclusion of Students with Autism.

The project International eLearning Approach on Teaching Strategies for Inclusion of Students with Autism (SUCCESS-TEASD) aiming at a multilateral transfer of knowledge can promote inclusive school development and inclusive teacher training in the light of the UN Convention and the SDGs of the 2030 Agenda. SUCCESS-TEASD promoted an action learning and sharing of challenges and good practices in the field of educational intervention programs for children with ASD. Through the cooperative work the participating Universities provided a support for all participating students considering their national contexts to plan and develop an action research in order to actively learn to understand the perspectives of different groups: Families and children’s with ASD; lecturers in the teachers training and teachers in service (schools). The results of the cooperative, action research and learning of the students, future teachers from both involved Universities are the be found in this publication

Analysis of Factor Validity of the Support Intensity Scale on Bosnian–Herzegovinian Sample

Since the development of the original Support Intensity Scale—Adult Version (SIS-A) and the Support Intensity Scale—Child Version (SIS-C), the interest in supporting people with intellectual disabilities (ID) has changed. Resource allocation, better quality of resource utilization in the rehabilitation process, the development of support systems, and redefining the roles of organizations that support people with ID are just some of the changes. The aim of this study was to determine the factor structure of the SIS-C conducted on a sample of Bosnian–Herzegovinian (B&H) children (SISC B&H). The study included 377 children ID in B&H, aged 5-16. The data was analyzed with the SPSS 21 software (with the AMOS package). Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was used to examine the factor structure of the SIS-C. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was applied to determine the factor and constructive validity of SIS-C B&H. The CFA results indicated a poor fit of both the theoretical and empirical models even after modifications were made. The EFA showed the opposite results. This could be explained by the fact that within the factor solutions obtained from the EFA, various aslope or orthogonal models, linear or hierarchical, can be constructed. Among these models, some exhibited good fit to the data. Thus, data from the current study could be used to generate new hypotheses and deliver more conclusive answers
