Objectives: This article presents the results of research aimed at determining how a particular school environment affects positive attitudes towards persons with disabilities among youth attending rural and urban schools and a school with integrated classes. Material and methods: The research process was based on diagnostic survey and questionnaire. The research tool applied was the Scale of Attitude Towards Persons with Disabilities (PWON) by Sękowski. The study included 200 respondents aged 14 and 15 years. They were young people attending three selected primary schools: one mainstream rural school, one mainstream urban school, and one mainstream urban school with integrated classes. Results: ANOVA showed a statistically significant effect: F (2.198) = 148.28; p = 0.00; η 2 = 0.59 which proves that the attitudes towards people with disabilities also depend on the type of schools attended by the compared groups. There were statistically significant differences between all compared groups of young people, out of which the respondents attending the mainstream urban school with integrated classes show the most positive attitude towards persons with disabilities. Conclusions: Average level of positive attitude towards disabled persons in young people varies according to the type of school they attend. Based on data analysis, it was found that the type of school the investigated young people attend is a variable that significantly differentiates attitudes towards persons with disabilities.
Background:The aim of this study was to identify and evaluate significant differences in the resiliency level in investigated mainstream school teachers and special school teachers with particular regard to physical education teachers.Material/Methods: The study was conducted among 198 teachers from Lower Silesia and Silesia provinces, including 26 physical education teachers from special schools, 62 teachers of other subjects from special schools, 44 physical education teachers from mainstream schools and 65 teachers of other subjects from mainstream schools. A diagnostic survey was the research method, a survey was the technique, and the Resiliency Questionnaire in a Polish adaptation of Ego Resiliency Scale was the tool (Kaczmarek, 2011).Results: The highest level of resiliency was demonstrated by physical education teachers from special schools.They differ significantly statistically in terms of a higher level of resiliency from teachers of other subjects from special schools and physical education teachers from mainstream schools. Conclusions:It is supposed that a higher level of resiliency may be an extremely helpful trait of personality, especially in teachers working with persons with intellectual disabilities, owing to which the negative impact of the difficult working conditions can be reduced.
Background:The aim of the study was to determine and compare the current risk of parental burnout in mothers of children with autism and with mild and moderate intellectual disabilities. Material and methods:The study was conducted among 30 mothers of children with autism, 30 mothers of children with moderate intellectual disabilities and 20 mothers of children with mild intellectual disabilities. A diagnostic survey was the research method, a survey was the technique used, and the Parental Burnout Questionnaire by M. Sekułowicz and P. Kwiatkowski was the applied research tool. Results:The average level of parental burnout risk significantly differentiates the investigated mothers due to the type of the child's disability. The lowest risk of parental burnout is shown in mothers of children with autism, a slightly higher risk is characteristic of mothers of children with moderate and mild intellectual disabilities, respectively.Conclusions: Mothers of children with autism and with moderate and mild intellectual disabilities show a low level of the parental burnout risk, which may indicate they are about to achieve the stage of constructive adaptation to the situation of having a child with a disability.

U każdej z tych osób, występuje określona identyfikacja z uprawianą dyscypliną sportową -która zwana jest tożsamością sportową i stanowi ona przedmiot zainteresowań niniejszej pracy. Za cel poznawczy przyjęto rozpoznanie natężenia, którego miarę stanowi zgodność z tożsamością sportową wybranej grupy zawodników Olimpiad Specjalnych. Natomiast celem praktycznym jest wskazanie możliwości zastosowania zmodyfikowanego narzędzia badawczego w odniesieniu do osób z niepełnosprawnością intelektualną oraz upowszechnienie wiedzy na temat osób z niepełnosprawnością intelektualną.Materiał i metody: Badanie zostało przeprowadzone wśród uczestników VIII Dolnośląskiego Mitingu Pływackiego Olimpiad Specjalnych 2015 r. Metodą badawczą był sondaż diagnostyczny, techniką -wywiad, narzędziem -Zmodyfikowana Skala Pomiaru Tożsamości Sportowca wg Brewera.Wyniki: Aspekty tożsamości sportowej ukazują, że większość zawodników Olimpiad Specjalnych uważa się za sportowca wyczynowego i zamierza nadal uczestniczyć w tym wariancie ruchu olimpijskiego. Najbliższe grono ich przyjaciół to również sportowcy wyczynowi. Dla połowy badanych osób sport jest najważniejszym elementem życia, natomiast porażka sportowa nie zmienia szczególnie ich samopoczucia.Wnioski: U zawodników Olimpiad Specjalnych występuje wysoki poziom tożsamości sportowej, o czym świadczy m.in. znacząca pozycja sportu w ich życiu. Sport jest dla nich jednym z ważniejszych obszarów życia. Uczestnictwo w zawodach sportowych i treningach organizowanych przez Stowarzyszenie Olimpiad Specjalnych, odznacza się wyższą wartością dla osób z niepełnosprawnością intelektualną niż sama wygrana w rywalizacji sportowej. Olimpiady Specjalne, niepełnosprawność intelektualna, tożsamość sportowa AbstractIntroduction: Special Olympics is an association whose main objective is to organise training and sports competitions for individuals with intellectual disabilities.
