摘要：AbstractFinland has been one of the world's leading countries already for years when the pupils’ school achievements are measured. On the other hand, we know about the basis of earlier studies that the pupils of the Finnish comprehensive school react relatively negatively to their school attendance. For this study, an essential point is that so-called traditional troublemakers or pupils’ with intellectual disabilities are not the target group in this research. Instead, this study is focusing on young people whose learning difficulties are due to the inability to adjust and benefit fully of more traditional school education without practical connection. Previous study indicates that young people with special technological talent have limited social abilities and in this study the main target is to find out how many technological talents can be found in a group of pupils with need for special support in their basic education. Based on our study 30% of pupils with the need for special support have better than average technological competence and 10% achieve excellent results in the technological area.
