Cooperation between teacher and andclassroom assistant in teaching pupils with hearing impairment in primary mainstream schools

This bachelor thesis examines the cooperation between teachers and teaching assistants in the education of pupils with hearing impairment in mainstream primary schools. The aim of the thesis is to explore this issue both from a theoretical perspective and through an analysis of real educational practice.

The practical part is based on qualitative research conducted through non-participant observation in two second-grade mainstream classes, each including one pupil with a hearing impairment supported by a teaching assistant. To complement the findings, semi-structured interviews with educational staff were carried out.

The results also highlight the need for more systematic joint preparation and ongoing professional development, which may further enhance the quality of support provided.
