| Description | Relevance of research. The problem of psychological readiness of parents of preschool children, including those with special educational needs, is becoming highly significant and affects the effectiveness of implementing inclusive education today. The aim of the study. Theoretical analysis of the psychological readiness of parents of preschool age for inclusive education and conducting an empirical study. Results and conclusions. Our empirical research made it possible to conclude that the cognitive component of psychological readiness is not sufficiently formed among the respondents. Parents mostly do not know what inclusive education is, they have almost no idea about the essence and content of inclusive education. Emotional and motivational components of readiness of parents of preschool children have their own characteristics for respondents of both groups. For parents of children with SEN, the motivating factors are an equal attitude towards their children, a sense of completeness of the child and a positive influence on socialization into society. At the same time, the parents of children with normal psychophysical development showed fears in interpersonal relations between children, between children and educators, lack of attention from teachers to their children, and a decrease in cognitive interest. We can say that parents are not ready to raise and teach children in an inclusive group of a preschool education institution. All of the above indicates that it is necessary to form the psychological readiness of parents of preschool children for inclusive education |
