Field of study: pedagogy The purpose of the work is to conceptualize and determine the educational dimensions of tutoring, to elaborate and validate the Pedagogical model and Operational demarche of managing tutoring programs for including pupils with EBD in the regular school.
The research objectives are to determine the specificity of inclusive education in Israel; to examine the traits characteristic of pupils with EBD and their difficulties encountered during the transition from primary to secondary school; to analyze the educational dimensions, the peculiarities of tutoring programs management; to validate the Pedagogical model and Operational demarche of managing tutoring programs for including pupils with EBD in the regular school.
The novelty and scientific originality of research is ensured by the intra- and interdisciplinary approach of the investigation; the conceptualization of tutoring phenomenon basing on the theory of educational management, the theoretical and practical substantiation of the Pedagogical model and Operational demarche of managing tutoring programs for including pupils with EBD in the regular school.
The solved scientific problem lies in the managerial application of pedagogical tutoring programs to facilitate the inclusion of pupils with EBD in the regular school, during transition from primary to secondary education.
The theoretical significance of the research is marked by the analysis, specification and delimitation of theoretical references on tutoring, from the managerial and psychopedagogical perspective, tutoring programs management, the substantiation and the validation of the Pedagogical model and Operational demarche of managing tutoring programs for including pupils with EBD in the regular school; the delimitation of the interconnection between the school manager’s involvement in the tutoring process and its outcomes reflected in the efficacy of inclusion and transition.
The practical value of the research is strengthened by the elaboration, validation and implementation of the Pedagogical model and Operational demarche of managing tutoring programs for including pupils with EBD in the regular school, taking into account the specifics of children with EBD exposed in DSM-V, their related difficulties during the transition to the regular secondary school, as well as the contemporary pedagogical guidelines, aiming at the inclusion of pupils with EBD in the regular school. The management of tutoring programs enhanced the achievement of positive results by diminishing emotions and inadequate behaviors of EBD pupils, by increasing their self-esteem and reducing their anxiety, positively changing the attitudes of teachers and peers towards them, and by successfully including EBD pupils in the Israeli regular secondary school.
