Abstract

The purpose of this article is to explore the possibilities of Reggio pedagogy and identify ways to implement it through project work aimed at supporting the individual development of each child in an inclusive environment. The article aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of the Reggio methodology adapted to the needs of inclusive education, as well as to unlock the potential of children with different abilities and needs. The main form of the article is to support the personal development of children in an inclusive educational environment. In these environments, the role of the Reggio methodology is explored, aimed at developing creative and cognitive abilities, taking into account the special needs of each child. There are also some special features. This is an approach aimed primarily at children. In Reggio's pedagogy, the Child is the main character of the educational process. The interests and ideas of children are the basis of project work, which allows them to develop their creative and cognitive abilities. The role of the environment: according to Reggio's methodology, the educational environment is the “third teacher”. The surrounding space is specially organized to encourage children's abilities for research, creativity and communication. In an inclusive environment, this approach helps to take into account the specifics of each child. In the process of writing an article, the project method allows children to explore their ideas and work in a team or individually. This method develops children's social skills in an inclusive environment, improving their interaction with each other. Partnership between parents and educators is an integral part of the process of supporting child development. This attitude is of particular importance in inclusive education.
