Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to examine the perspectives and perceptions of academics working in universities on inclusive education and social inclusion. Inclusive education aims to provide equal opportunities and ensure quality education and active participation for all students, while social inclusion transforms educational institutions to accept differences and support diversity for students' full participation and high-quality learning. Material and Methods: The research conducted at Hacettepe University between May 1st 2023- March 1st 2024 dates utilized a phenomenological qualitative design, employing semi-structured interviews. A Demographic Information Form and open-ended questions developed through a literature review by researchers were applied. The sample size was 14, and interviews were completed within the range of 25-30 minutes. Results: Five themes were examined, including participation processes, encountered problems, recommendations, academics' approach, and the role of educators. Participants primarily emphasized themes such as social integration, accessible physical environment, and equal opportunities. It was indicated that to enhance inclusive education, an interdisciplinary perspective, alongside educators' training, requires recommendations based on activities, individuals, and institutions. Conclusion: The research revealed that inclusive education and social inclusion are fundamentally associated with physical, social and societal participation, with accessibility issues identified as the most influential factor affecting participation. The common view among academics was that institutional leadership plays a crucial role in solving these problems. It was emphasized that academics need to be knowledgeable about inclusive education and apply individualized educational models to contribute to the education and social life of disadvantaged individuals—who stand out as the group most frequently encountering problems in implementing inclusive education approaches.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışma, üniversitelerde görev alan akademisyenlerin kapsayıcı eğitim ve sosyal içerme konularına yönelik bakış açılarını ve algılarını incelemeyi hedeflemektedir. Kapsayıcı eğitim, tüm öğrenciler için eşit fırsatlar sunarak kaliteli eğitim ve aktif katılımı amaçlayan bir yaklaşımken, sosyal içerme, eğitim kurumlarının farklılıkları kabul edip çeşitliliği destekleyerek öğrencilerin tam katılımını ve yüksek kaliteli öğrenim görmesini sağlamaya yönelik dönüşümünü ifade eder. Gereç ve Yöntem: Hacettepe Üniversitesi'nde 1 Mayıs 2023- 1 Mart 2024 tarihleri arasında yürütülen araştırma, fenomenolojik nitel desende gerçekleştirilmiş olup yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler kullanılmıştır. Demografik Bilgi Formu ve araştırmacılar tarafından literatür incelemesi sonucu oluşturulan açık uçlu sorular uygulanmıştır. Örneklem büyüklüğü 14’tür ve görüşmeler 25-30 dakika aralığında tamamlanmıştır. Bulgular: Katılım süreçleri, karşılaşılan problemler, öneriler, akademisyenlerin yaklaşımı ve eğitmenin rolleri olmak üzere beş temada incelenmiştir. Katılımcıların sosyal entegrasyon, erişilebilir fiziksel ortam, fırsat eşitliği gibi temalara birincil derecede önem verdikleri ve kapsayıcı eğitimi geliştirmek için interdisipliner bakış açısı ve eğitimcilerin eğitiminin yanında, aktivite, birey ve kurum temelli öneriler sunulması gerektiği belirtilmiştir. Sonuç: Araştırma, kapsayıcı eğitim ve sosyal içermenin temelde fiziksel, sosyal ve toplumsal yaşama katılım ile ilişkili olduğunu ve katılımı en fazla etkileyen faktörün erişilebilirlik sorunları olduğunu ortaya koydu. Akademisyenlerin ortak görüşü, bu sorunun çözümünde üst kurumların ve yönetimin rol oynadığı yönünde oldu. Özellikle kapsayıcı eğitim yaklaşımının uygulanmasında en sık problemle karşılaşan grup olarak öne çıkan dezavantajlı bireylerin eğitimine ve sosyal hayatına katkı sağlamak için akademisyenlerin kapsayıcı eğitim konusunda bilgi sahibi olmaları ve kişiye özgü eğitim modellerini uygulamaları gerektiği vurgulandı.
