Contemporary Conditions of Efficient Implementation of Inclusive Education at the University

Abstract

The paper analyzes the conditions of introducing inclusive education at universities. The suggested classification of necessary conditions may be applied in practice for efficient inclusion at higher educational institutions. We used the methods of descriptive analysis, observation, and Pearson’s chisquared test (χ2). The research findings include the identified efficient conditions of inclusive education, such as (1) creating a column about “Inspiring stories” on the website of the educational institution; (2) conducting group psychological training for students, joint activities, and the so-called “student hour”; (3) establishing a department of distance and inclusive education; (4) developing further education courses for teachers with a focus on communication with students with disabilities and health-related conditions; (5) designing courses for tutors and assisting students with disabilities and health-related conditions to provide them with comprehensive support within the entire period of study at universities; and (6) creating online and offline courses for teachers to develop their readiness to introduce inclusive education at universities by five criteria.
