Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine the problems of teaching in classes where students with special needs are included. This paper will highlight the challenges and problems presented by Albanian teaching in inclusive classes today. It will also be suggested about the possibilities for a teaching adapted to the needs and abilities that the students have to learn, regardless of the conditions and situation they have. The methodology used in this paper, in relation to the collection and processing of data, has a qualitative character. From the findings of this paper, it results that among the factors that mitigate the problems of teaching in these classes, we will mention: the necessity of accompanying students with special needs with support/specialist teachers; reducing the number of students in the class, as well as supplementing the knowledge of teachers to adapt teaching depending on the needs and abilities of these students.
