Secondary title:	Social inclusion of children with ADHD in primary school
Secondary abstract:	This thesis deals with social inclusion of pupils with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in primary school, as most children with ADHD (52–82%) also have notable and hindering social difficulties, but the problems are usually not recognised appropriately. The quality of peer relationships and thus also social inclusion is largely bound to the effectiveness of pupils in making contact with their peers, which is reflected in the use of social skills (Košir Pečjak 2002). Children with ADHD often lack the social skills that are essential for succeeding in life and they often experience loneliness, to which poor social skills contribute greatly. A positive image of such a person needs to be formed and spread intentionally. Many views and attitudes are acquired by children at school and they are extremely important for successful educational inclusion. The theoretical part first brings a definition of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and then moves to different factors affecting social acceptance of pupils with ADHD, e.g. social perception, social cognition, social competence, social skills, the social impact of norms and the group, social interaction and interpersonal relations (especially peer relations), the views of teachers, parents and pupils on integration, facing problems and emotional intelligence, self-image, the characteristics of a school and the school environment. The section closes with a description of different kinds of help both from teachers and from parents to children with lower levels of inclusion and specifically pupils with ADHD. Relationships of ADHD children with friends are also described. The empirical part of the thesis presents a research on social inclusion of pupils with ADHD in primary school, which included 106 pupils of 6 different classes from all three-year sections of primary school, 6 class teachers, 6 pupils with ADHD and 86 parents. Based on questioners for class teachers, parents, pupils with ADHD and their peers and with sociometric testing, we establish the social position of the pupils with ADHD and how their social inclusion is seen by the children themselves, their classmates, their class teachers and the parents of all the pupils. Special stress is given to what they believe to be the reasons for the disturbing behaviour and who they think is responsible for the acceptance of pupils with ADHD, their peers’ attitude towards them, what social skills they use and how one should react to a pupil’s problems and special needs. The research has shown that all the pupils with ADHD have at least one good friend in their class, but their circle of friends is very small. The perception of social inclusion is positive among class teachers and similar among the children with ADHD and their peers, while parents think the pupils with ADHD do not get along with their classmates or do so only to a certain extent. The teachers find the main reason for the disturbing behaviour in the family upbringing and the situation at home, while the classmates believe the main factor are peers and the pupils with ADHD see it in both their peers and teachers. Classmates are most commonly tolerant towards pupils with ADHD, but do not offer any special support. In the eyes of parents, the behaviour of pupils with ADHD is more negative than it is in the eyes of the teachers and the ADHD-afflicted children themselves. The pupils with ADHD see the attitude of their classmates towards them as prevailingly positive, while the classmates see both negative (e.g. violence or insufficient knowledge) and positive traits (e.g. hobbies or creativity in excuses) in their peers with ADHD. Class teachers believe the social skills of children with ADHD are underdeveloped and they share the view with parents that the main responsibility for social inclusion of a pupil with ADHD lies with teachers.

Abstract (ePrints):	Predmet diplomskega dela je socialna vključenost učencev z motnjo pozornosti in hiperaktivnostjo (ADHD) v osnovni šoli, saj so pomembne in ovirajoče socialne težave prisotne pri večini otrok z motnjo ADHD (52–82 %), a največkrat te težave niso ustrezno prepoznane. Kvaliteta vrstniških odnosov in s tem socialna sprejetost je namreč v veliki meri pogojena s tem, kako učinkovito učenci navezujejo stike z vrstniki, kar pa se kaže v uporabi socialnih spretnosti (Košir Pečjak 2002). Pri učencih z motnjo ADHD pogosto pride do pomanjkanja socialnih veščin, ki so bistvene za uspeh v življenju in učenci z ADHD pogosteje doživljajo osamljenost, k temu pa prispevajo slabše socialne veščine. Potrebno je zavestno preoblikovati in širiti pozitivne predstave o teh osebah. Veliko stališč si učenci pridobijo v šoli in so izjemno pomembna za uspešno vzgojno-izobraževalno vključenost. V teoretičnem delu je uvodoma opredeljena motnja ADHD, v nadaljevanju pa so predstavljeni različni dejavniki, ki vplivajo na socialno sprejetost učencev z motnjo ADHD, kot so: socialno zaznavanje, socialna kognicija, socialna kompetentnost, socialne veščine, socialni vpliv norm in skupine; socialna interakcija in medosebni, predvsem vrstniški, odnosi; stališča učiteljev, staršev in učencev do integracije; spoprijemanje in emocionalna inteligentnost; samopodoba; lastnosti šole in šolsko okolje. V zaključku teoretičnega dela so opisane različne vrste pomoči manj sprejetim učencem in posebej učencem z motnjo ADHD, tako s strani učiteljev, kot tudi s strani staršev. Posebej so opisani tudi prijateljski odnosi učencev z motnjo ADHD. V empiričnem delu diplomskega dela je predstavljena raziskava o socialni vključenosti učencev z motnjo ADHD v osnovni šoli, v katero je bilo vključenih 106 učencev šestih različnih razredov od prve do tretje triade, 6 razrednih učiteljev, 6 učencev z motnjo ADHD in 86 staršev. S pomočjo vprašalnikov za razrednike, starše, učence z motnjo ADHD in njihove sošolce ter sociometrične preizkušnje sem ugotovila, kakšen je socialni položaj učencev z motnjo ADHD in kako socialno vključenost teh učencev vidijo oni sami, njegovi sošolci, razredniki in starši vseh učencev. Še posebej čemu pripisujejo vzrok motečega vedenja in kdo je najbolj odgovoren za sprejetost učencev z motnjo ADHD, kako se do njih vedejo sošolci, katere socialne veščine uporabljajo in kako reagirati na učenčeve težave in potrebe. Ugotovljeno je bilo da imajo vsi učenci z motnjo ADHD vsaj enega dobrega prijatelja v razredu, vendar je krog prijateljev pri teh učencih izredno majhen. Mnenje o socialnem položaju je podobno in pozitivno pri razrednikih, sošolcih in učencih z motnjo ADHD, starši pa so mnenja, da se učenci z motnjo ADHD ne razumejo dobro ali pa srednje s sošolci. Vzrok motečega vedenja učitelji pripisujejo družinski vzgoji in razmeram doma, učenci sošolcem in učenci z motnjo ADHD sošolcem in učiteljici. Najpogostejše vedenje sošolcev do učencev z motnjo ADHD je, da so do težav učenca z motnjo ADHD strpni, posebne podpore pa jim ne nudijo. Starši vedenje sošolcev do učenca z motnjo ADHD vidijo bolj negativno kot učenci z motnjo ADHD sami in razredniki. Učenci z motnjo ADHD vedenje sošolcev do njih vidijo bolj pozitivno kot negativno. Sošolci opazijo pri učencu z motnjo ADHD tako negativne (nasilje, neznanje) kot tudi pozitivne (hobi, njegove ideje, da se opraviči) lastnosti. Razredniki so mnenja, da imajo učenci z motnjo ADHD šibko razvite socialne veščine. Najbolj odgovoren za sprejetost učenca z motnjo ADHD je po mnenju razrednikov in staršev učitelj oziroma razrednik.
