Abstract

This article is a case analysis about a young person defined by the psychology and pedagogy as ‘person with learning difficulties’. It presents a new-type approach of ‘skill-developing pedagogy’ (‘developmental pedagogy’) with tools of qualitative research. It is a description of an experiment, where finding the individual ‘motivating-points’ (mainly music) of a secondary school student with intellectual disability, and using a special method with intellectual ‘star-like-excursions’ prove how it is possible to work with success and delight even in fields of mathematics, history, geography, literature. Furthermore, these results are catchable not only in the fields of knowledge(s) and skills but in the changing of the features of the personality as well.
