Science Days at BSPU: Student Research in Special Education and Psychology

As part of the Science Days celebrations, a sectional meeting of higher education students specialising in 016 Special Education entitled “Scientific and Practical Foundations of the Professional Activity of Special Educators and Psychologists” was held on 12 May. The event traditionally served as a platform for academic exploration and the exchange of practical experience.

The participants presented a range of relevant reports devoted to issues of speech and language therapy, psychological and pedagogical support, and corrective and developmental work with children with special educational needs. The presentations highlighted contemporary approaches to psychological and pedagogical assessment, corrective and developmental interventions, family support, as well as the use of interactive and play-based technologies aimed at overcoming learning difficulties and supporting the socialisation of children with SEN.

The first steps in research are always exciting, yet they often become the beginning of professional growth, self-confidence, and an individual academic journey. We sincerely encourage both our debut presenters and more experienced students to continue exploring, asking questions, seeking innovative ideas, and confidently realising themselves in both professional and scientific activity.

The high level of engagement, the practical orientation of the presentations, and the genuine interest demonstrated by the participants once again confirmed the importance of developing special education and preparing specialists capable of responding to the contemporary challenges of the educational environment.

Following the presentations, as well as students’ participation in academic competitions and Olympiads, participants were awarded certificates and commendations from the Faculty and the Rector.

We would like to thank all participants for their active involvement, insightful presentations, and commitment to the future of special education.
