This paper reports a series of studies that assessed the performance of students on continuous assessment components from two courses in an undergraduate psychology programme. Data were collected from two consecutive cohorts of students (total N = 576) and the grades of students were compared based on additional learning needs (ALN; ALN versus No…

Different personal traits could predict not only prejudice, but also practices aimed at the inclusion of vulnerable minorities in higher education. On the basis of this assumption, the study presented here sets out to confirm a predictive model of inclusive practices among university teaching staff, incorporating variables of personality,…

This study investigated the multicultural teaching competence (MTC) of preservice teachers and the predictors of their competence. It ultimately investigated how preservice teachers' sense of efficacy (TSE), critical self-reflection (CSR), and religious inclusivity (RI) predicted their MTC. Through a cross-sectional research design, data were…

This study examines how young adults evaluate gender-based social inclusion and exclusion from academic peer groups. Participants included 199 college students (M[subscript age] = 19.18; SD = 1.37, Range = 18-25), who made judgments about the acceptability of gender-based social exclusion of female and male peers from a Physics group (a…

Inclusive postsecondary education (IPSE) programs provide students with intellectual disabilities (ID) an opportunity to access higher education. As these programs have grown over the decades since their inception in 2010, it is becoming increasingly important that these programs use data-driven interventions to improve student outcomes, both…

This study investigates pre-service teachers' attitudes towards inclusive education in Kosovo and identifies the factors that influence and predict those attitudes. The data were collected using a quantitative method. The study involved 210 pre-service teachers. Data were analysed descriptively through comparative means, correlate analysis, and…

Inclusive education means that all students, including students with disabilities, have the right to access general education classrooms and receive high-quality instruction and appropriate levels of support to enable them to succeed. Given the importance of teacher preparation programs as the first incubator to shape teachers' attitudes towards…

Graduates of special education teacher education programs can teach in a range of special education settings, raising the potential that their training can occur in very different settings than where they find their first jobs. We follow 263 completers of Moderate Disabilities programs in Massachusetts from their field placements to their…

Underrepresented female doctoral students (UFDS) face challenges in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, particularly concerning a low sense of belonging (SoB). Little is known about the impact of learning settings (online or on-campus) and the inclusive leadership qualities of research supervisors on the SoB of…

Background: Inclusive STEM high schools seek to broaden STEM participation by accepting students on the basis of interest rather than test scores and providing a program sufficient to prepare students for a STEM major in college. Almost nonexistent before the present century, these high schools have proliferated over the last two decades as a…

This paper first seeks to identify cultural factors of faculty, staff, and students within Higher Education Intuitions (HEI) and then understand how those factors affect the individual as well as the overall larger population of all studied groups to create cultures of quality excellence. Secondary data collected from government databases was used…

The intention of teachers towards adopting inclusive practices is vital to determining teaching behaviour in classrooms. Although some previous studies have reported that variables such as attitudes, subjective norms and self-efficacy combine to predict intention of teachers, such studies are sparse in sub-Saharan Africa and mainly limited to…

Social change towards inclusion is a very common topic, but progress is slow. Because of its importance in the current educational context, knowing how to speed up this transformation is fundamental. A multiple regression analysis with a transversal quantitative designed survey (n = 245) was conducted. The aim was to identify internal and external…

Since passage of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) there has been a legal requirement to provide students with disabilities the most inclusive education possible (Winchell et al., 2018) while Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 requires that education be delivered by highly qualified teachers. Despite this, there have been…
