Title of the Thesis – Application of Information and Communication Technologies in the Education of Primary School Students with Disabilities in the Context of Inclusive Education. The aim of this thesis is to theoretically and empirically substantiate the possibilities of applying information and communication technologies (ICT) in the education of primary school students with disabilities in the context of inclusive education. The following objectives were set: 1. To present the characteristics of inclusive education for primary school students with disabilities. 2. To analyze how ICT can be used for educating primary school students with disabilities. 3. To examine the experiences of primary education teachers in applying ICT in the education of students with disabilities in the context of inclusive education. The research was based on a qualitative research strategy. Empirical data were collected using the semi-structured interview method. The study involved primary school teachers with experience working with students with disabilities. The collected data were analyzed using content analysis. The thesis consists of an introduction, three chapters, conclusions, recommendations, a list of references, an abstract in English, and appendices. The research results revealed that primary school teachers working with students with disabilities apply various inclusive education strategies and actively integrate ICT tools to differentiate teaching, support students’ motivation, and promote engagement. However, challenges were also identified – a lack of suitable digital tools, uneven levels of digital literacy, and teachers’ emotional exhaustion, which may limit the effective use of ICT in the educational process. Despite these difficulties, teachers recognize the benefits of ICT in promoting students’ progress, independence, and more successful inclusion.
