Modern innovative educational technologies in inclusive education in primary school

Abstract

The article addresses the relevance of implementing innovative educational technologies in inclusive practice at the primary school level as one of the key directions in developing modern Ukrainian education. The need to adapt pedagogical approaches to the needs of children with special educational needs in current educational settings is driven by the transformation of the Ukrainian school system according to the principles of child-centeredness, integration, and accessibility. Significant is the creation of an educational environment that ensures conditions for each child's harmonious and comprehensive development, taking into account their individual abilities and needs. The article aims to explore contemporary innovative educational technologies applied in inclusive education at the primary school level, aiming to evaluate their effectiveness in ensuring a quality educational process for children with special educational needs. The article also analyzes the possibilities of integrating these technologies into everyday pedagogical practice to enhance student engagement, motivation, and academic success. Research methods include the analysis of scientific sources, generalization of pedagogical experience, observation of the educational process in inclusive classrooms, and comparative analysis of the effectiveness of traditional and innovative approaches. Results. The study identifies and characterizes several effective, innovative technologies with significant potential in inclusive education: blended learning, project-based learning, critical thinking development technologies, digital educational resources (online platforms, interactive exercises), as well as elements of gamification. Special attention is given to individualizing the learning process, ensured through information and communication technologies and adaptive methods. Conclusions.Effective implementation of modern pedagogical technologies in the education of children with special educational needs at the primary school level positively influences the formation of an inclusive culture, increases student engagement in learning activities, and promotes constructive interaction among all participants in the educational process. Future research should focus on developing and implementing digital tools to build individualized educational trajectories. In particular, this involves creating interactive, adaptive learning platforms, using digital tools to monitor the educational outcomes of students with special educational needs, implementing mobile applications to develop self-regulation and communication skills, and preparing methodological recommendations for personalizing educational content using artificial intelligence.
