Gender differences in theory-based predictors of physical activity in university students with disabilities

2021

Abstract University students with disabilities engage in physical activity to a lesser extent than their able-bodied peers, with women reporting less physical activity than men. The present study aimed to examine gender differences in theory-based predictors of physical activity in this population. Spanish university students with different disabilities (n = 1076) completed measures of the Theory of Planned Behaviour constructs and the reduced Spanish version of the Barriers to Physical Activity Questionnaire for People with Mobility Impairments. Self-efficacy and controllability were significantly lower in women and gender differences on the barriers predicting controllability were obtaine…

Potrzeby mieszkaniowe dorosłych osób z niepełnosprawnością intelektualną – perspektywa rodziców

2022

Wprowadzenie. Problematyka samodzielności i niezależności osób z niepełnosprawnością intelektualną jest często omawiana w literaturze pedagogicznej, bywa jednak ujmowana w wąskim zakresie. Obejmuje kwestie podejmowania decyzji w błahych sprawach, pomijając te fundamentalne, np. dotyczące możliwości decydowania o tym, gdzie i z kim zamieszkać. Cel. Głównym celem badania było określenie potrzeb mieszkaniowych dorosłych osób Wyniki. Analiza wypowiedzi rodziców wskazuje na to, że ponad połowa z nich (53%) chciałaby, aby ich dorosłe dziecko w przyszłości mogło nadal mieszkać w domu rodzinnym lub z rodzeństwem; co trzeci rodzic (32,4%) pragnąłby, aby zamieszkało w całodobowym małym domu o charakt…

Rapid automatized naming and learning disabilities : does RAN have a specific connection to reading or not : a replication

2006

The aim of this study was to replicate the study of Waber, Wolff, Forbes, and Weiler (2000), in which the specificity of naming speed deficits (NSD) to reading disability (RD) was examined. 193 children (ages 8 to 11) referred to a child neuropsychological clinic for evaluation of learning disabilities were studied. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) was used to determine how well rapid automatized naming (RAN) discriminated different diagnostic groups (learning impaired (LI) with and without RD) from control and from each other. The conclusion of Waber’s et al. study was that RAN was an excellent tool for detecting risk for learning disabilities in general but was not especially effec…

Setting Individual Goals for Pupils with Profound Intellectual and Multiple Disabilities : Engaging in the Activity Area-Based Curriculum Making

2021

The activity area-based curriculum model (AACM) is used in the Finnish basic education to support pupils—most of whom have profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMD)—who could benefit more from skills that advance independent life coping. Existing studies have concentrated mainly on the Individual Education Plan (IEP) goal-setting process for pupils with milder disabilities than PIMD and have consistently demonstrated significant barriers in the process. This study explores the collaborative IEP goal-setting process for pupils with the AACM. Sixty-five Finnish special education teachers using the AACM participated in the study. Semi-structured interviews were analysed with thema…

Komunikownie się z osobami z niepełnosprawnością w kontekście relacji opiekun- wychowawca - podopieczny - wychowanej. Wybrane utrudnienia i uwarunkow…

2016

Komunikacja interpersonalna (międzyludzka) oznacza porozumiewanie się ludzi między sobą, polegające na przekazywaniu sobie nawzajem myśli, opinii, sądów, informacji o przeżyciach. Komunikowanie się zawsze przebiega między dwiema osobami (nadawcą i odbiorcą), które w określony sposób reagują na wzajemne komunikaty. Jest to proces złożony i uwarunkowany wieloma czynnikami, wśród których szczególnie ważne są kompetencje komunikacyjne jego uczestników (umiejętność wyrażania myśli, precyzyjnego formułowania, rozumienia komunikatów itp ). W artykule autorka omawia istotę oraz uwarunkowania skutecznej komunikacji między osobami z niepełnosprawnością sensoryczną oraz intelektualną a pełnosprawnymi.…

As Capable as Other Students: Tanzanian Women with Disabilities in Higher Education

2015

Globally, persons with disabilities are underrepresented in higher education. In sub-Saharan Africa, where opportunities for higher education are especially limited, women are unlikely to continue their education. This research investigates women in Tanzanian higher education with the double marginalisation of being a woman and having disabilities. The women were interviewed on what factors enabled access and participation for their educational success. A thematic analysis of qualitative data was applied. All of the women interviewed were motivated to complete their degrees. Key enabling factors were encouragement from their families and previous teachers, full participation in student life…

Policy-practice gap in participation of students with disabilities in the education and training programme of Ethiopia: policy content analysis

2015

This study explores the extent to which the issue of special educational and training needs for persons with disabilities is addressed in the education and training policy of Ethiopia, with a specific focus on technical and vocational education and training (TVET). Focus group discussions and interviews were used to assess the content of the policy and related strategic documents, as well as legal frameworks and implementation instruments, in terms of the principle of inclusion. A pair of focus group discussions involved 22 members of the management and governance of four networks and eight indigenous, disability-focused, non-governmental organisations. Moreover, 14 high-profile experts fro…
