The second station of Danish schools-Favrdalskolen!




Favrdalskolen has 3 big buildings that are seperate from each others and for the pupils from different ages. The roads in the school are a bit complicated to find the right way. But maybe it works about map reading or will be useful for improving brain streets :) Anyway,we met the headmaster of the school who was very kind and like a normal teacher in his casual clothes not in suits.We looked around and saw some classes each of special and normal.


If somebody has disabilty of pyhsical,they are intagreted to normal classes.In normal classes,two teacher are ready to help them.One of them is especially for the special one.That's why they have enough time to be individual and find out the personal way goes solution.Population in the classes can not be more than 25.If I compare this situation to Turkey,we have classes which contains more than 25 pupils as normal. And again in normally we have one teacher each class. Sometimes can be 2 teachers but one of them is here as an assistant.


If somebody has learning disability,they have special classes to be integrated to society.They do not have to learn mathematics,physics,chemistry at all.Teachers try to teach them social skills.In this point,you can realize that the common question is in Denmark 'what can you do for society' and then just do it! you do not have to spend your time to things that you cant do anymore.They know your abilities and learning capasity. Individual system really works!Students in Turkey have to learn all knowledge about all lessons even it wont be useful in the future for their career or job.In speacil classes,curriculum is different than normal schools'.If some special pupils are seperate and in private schools,the teacher have a chance to be individual thus the system works.In public schools,not only pupils who have disabiltiybut also brilliant pupils have not got an useful chance to get educaiton individual way.


There was also another method to take the child who has a problem spesific subject to other special class for intensive courses to overcome the problem.


Materials,paintings,classes without doors,art classes,computers are the other interesting things for me.


To sum up,It was my first experience about special needs education.But it really affected me to search some disabilities abput my branch such as dyscalculia.Great for me...School experience lessons are my favourite;)
