Način rada: Na nastavi se očekuje visok stupanj pripremljenosti i interakcije studenata. Uspješnost na kolegiju se mjeri navedenim testovima u 6. i 11. tjednu nastave te aktivnim sudjelovanjem u osmišljavanju i provođenju mikro projekata.

 

Cilj: Stjecanje uvida u povezanost jezika, iskustva i ostalih kognitivnih sposobnosti te osnovnu problematiku ovladavanja jezikom kod slijepih učenika. Razvijanje kritičkog promišljanja postojećih pristupa u poučavanju i njihove prilagodbe iskustvenim potrebama slijepih. Po završenom kolegiju studenti će:

 

–          moći uspješno primijeniti teorijska znanja o prirodi jezika i njegovoj povezanosti s ostalim domenama znanja na znanja vezana uz pristup poučavanju slijepe i slabovidne djece i mladeži

–          moći uspješno osmisliti načine provjere određenih teorijskih pretpostavki i spoznaja u praksi

–          steći istraživačke kompetencije u područjima koja se bave vezama između jezika i ostalih kognitivnih sposobnosti te u područjima koja se bave percepcijskim karakterom znanja

–          biti osposobljeni za samostalno razmišljanje i zaključivanje o vezama između teorije i prakse i relevantnosti određenih aspekata teorije za područja učenja i poučavanja jezika kod slijepe i slabovidne djece i mladeži

–          naučiti prilagoditi nastavni materijal i osmisliti nove oblike nastavnog materijala koji su primjereniji i efikasniji od postojećih materijala koji se koriste  u poučavanju slijepe i slabovidne djece

–          konsolidirati prethodno stečena znanja o prirodi jezika, usvajanju jezika i pouci jezika s obzirom na uvid u karakteristike slijepe i slabovidne djece i mladeži te specifičnosti njihovog jezičnog razvoja i učenja.

Studenti će razviti sposobnost pronalaženja relevantne literature, njenog kritičkog iščitavanja, sinteze i prezentacije; razvit će sposobnost argumentiranog i kritičkog sudjelovanja u diskusijama, prihvaćanja komentara o svome radu i otvorenosti prema stavovima i idejama sugovornika; razvit će početne istraživačke kompetencije. Razvit će osjećaj profesionalnosti za rad s osobama s posebnim potrebama.
