Kaasava hariduse eesmärk on suurendada haridussüsteemi võimekust jõuda kõikide õppijateni, põhiliseks sihtgrupiks on enamikus riikides hariduslike erivajadustega õppijad. Siinse uurimuse eesmärk on selgitada välja, kuidas mõistetakse kaasavat haridust Eesti lasteaedades ja koolides (esimene kooliaste) ning millised on õpetajate ees seisvad ülesanded ja asutuste võimalused erivajadustega õppijate kaasamisel tavaharidussüsteemi. Andmeid kogusime küsitluse ja vaatluse teel, lisaks analüüsisime kaasamise edendamise kavasid. Saadud tulemused võimaldavad käsitleda erivajadustega õppija teemat sügavuti ja tõhustada õpetajakoolitust. Hädavajalik on valmistada õpetajaid ette erivajadustega õppija ja ülejäänud laste koosõpetamiseks (grupiprotsessid, -juhtimine), laiendada arusaamu keskkonna kohandamise võimalustest ning suurendada valmisolekut meeskonnatööks. Summary

Since the 1980s, growing globalisation and economic restructuring coupled with expansion of tertiary education contributed to tremendous change in the labour market entry process in Europe. Most previous studies have been quantitative, concentrated on the supply aspect and analysed the role of education as the explanatory variable of youth labour market outcome equations. By contrast, the demand aspect has gained less attention. In this paper, using Estonia as a case study in both perspectives -employers' practices and graduates' experiences -are combined to answer the question: how employers use information provided by tertiary education credentials in the recruitment process. Semi-structured interviews with the 15 biggest employers and focus groups consisting of 63 recent graduates comprise the base data of our study. The results reveal that it is useful to examine the mechanisms why education affects recruitment processes separately among service providers and goods producers as well as in different stages of recruitment (pre-selection, getting a job offer). In all sectors, the educational credentials were used in the pre-selection process as a screening device. However, in a job offer, service providers emphasised the role of credentials as signals of trainability while for goods producers credentials informed employers about their job-specific skills.

This paper introduces a study of an experimental training methodology for promoting lesson analysis skills in student teachers. This methodology is based on the idea that the quality of lesson analysis skills depends mainly on teachers' perception of relevant instructional events and on their understanding of these events. The experimental intervention consists of student teachers' participation in sessions on guided analysis of videotaped lessons and writing lesson analysis reports. The experimental group progressed more than the control group. Gagné's model of an instructional unit is used as a theoretical framework for defining a lesson and identifying its critical events. The effectiveness of the proposed training approach was assessed on the basis of qualitative content analysis of lesson analysis reports written by student teachers in experimental and control groups at the beginning and end of their 10-week pedagogical school practicum. A comparison of progress made by the two groups was carried out in terms of the number of analytic idea units produced, categories of these units and their distribution across the relevant lesson events.
