20.500.12556/DKUM-93550 Adaptations in music lessons inclusion of a student with autism spectrum disorder The present research explores teaching adaptations in music education for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in mainstream elementary schools. We examined how teaching experience and exposure to students with ASD impact the use of inclusive strategies and teachers' self-assessed competence by conducting a structured survey of music teachers in Slovenian elementary schools. Results show that adaptation practices differ depending on teaching experience, with experienced teachers more likely to implement structured routines, quiet spaces, and environmental modifications. There is a moderate correlation between the frequency of adaptations used by teachers and their ability to identify ASD characteristics. The findings highlight the importance of practical experience and targeted training in fostering teachers' confidence and competence, as well as the need for ongoing professional development to create inclusive and supportive learning environments in music education. inclusion music lessons teaching adaptations classroom adaptations ASD characteristics mainstream education vključenost glasbeni pouk prilagoditve poučevanja prilagoditve učilnice značilnosti motenj avtističnega spektra redno izobraževanje true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2025-07-02 09:25:32 2025-07-02 09:25:32 2025-07-03 03:11:14 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Str. 47-74 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-06-13 159.922.76:616.896 238312451 241039107 10.18690/um.pef.4.2025.3 RAZ_Sevsek_Katja_2025.pdf RAZ_Sevsek_Katja_2025.pdf 1 75E326A183B556D315FC763AACF3BE98 999b391b3f24a5723826071dad5702749535e121004df3d88b83ea5bbf62e2a2 ee317cf2-5715-11f0-bb83-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=193099 https://doi.org/10.18690/um.pef.4.2025.3 1 be1433cd-5715-11f0-bb83-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=193098 Pedagoška fakulteta Selected Contemporary Research on Special Needs, Giftedness, and Talent in Slovenia 0 0 0
