Sažetak
Attitude towards children with disabilities, especially their education, changed throughout history, and depended on a number of factors: political, social, cultural, economic or any other terms and conditions set in which a society found. Segregationist practice, which deals with the separation of people based on different criteria, which is generally contrary to the principles of human rights and freedoms, and the philosophy of history in America and Europe have had a decisive influence on the situation of children with disabilities, the relationship between school and society as a whole. At that time a opinion that persons with disabilities can be helped in a separate environment, isolated from the rest of society, has further boosted the social stigma, aversion, classification and intolerance. Croatian national framework curriculum provides all students equal opportunities to participate in the educational process in accordance with their capabilities together with their peers, making the foundation for the creation of individualized curriculum. So constructed curriculum of teaching gives the assumption that students can develop their own potentials in accordance with their own requirements for learning (cognitive, affective, motivational to social). This paper describes the changes throughout history in relation to children with disabilities, and elaborates some responses from teachers and students of teacher training studies within the research thesis. Although from the commencement of the inclusion of education passed nearly half a century, the fact is that we still need to work on new models of schooling and of teacher education, because those teachers who are today in practice still feel incompetent. Students feel more competent because they were included in the new compulsory and elective courses on studies for teachers.
