Описание: While there is wide consensus in higher education that global learning is essential for all students` success, there are few models of how to achieve this goal. The authors of this book provide such a model and, in doing so, offer readers a broad definition of global learning that both encompasses a wide variety of modes and experiences and engages all students on campus.

Описание: The demanding workload and fast pace of college often overwhelm students. Without access to the right resources, many of the three million U.S. college students with disabilities fail or drop out--at a much higher rate than their peers. This guide helps students, parents, counselors and psychologists find the appropriate resources and accommodations to help students with disabilities successfully transition to college. The author explains Americans with Diabilities Act laws for higher education and outlines the steps for requesting and implementing college staff, classroom and testing accommodations. Student testimonies are included, advising on which assistive technologies and resources have worked to achieve academic success.

Описание: A wealth of evidence demonstrates that disabled domestic students experience disabling barriers in such areas as funding, pedagogy and social life in Higher Education (HE). Research also indicates that non-disabled international students experience a wide range of cultural and linguistic difficulties throughout their university experience whilst studying in England. Nevertheless, there is a dearth of research concerning the specific experiences of disabled international students in English universities. With the increasing internationalisation of HE in the past two decades this is highly significant. Analysing disabled international students’ accounts in British universities appears to be all the more pertinent due to the current austerity measures, which have impacted on the financial situation of Higher Education Institutions. Armineh Soorenian comments on the relevance of inclusive educational theories and policies within an increasingly internationalised HE system, with reference to disabled international students’ experiences in England. The project is both timely and appropriate as there is an acute shortage of documentation on the application of policies for the inclusion of disabled students and disabled international students specifically in English universities. The findings identify key barriers in the four broad categories of (1) Information, Access and Funding; (2) Disability Services; (3) Learning and Teaching; and (4) Non-Disability Support Services such as accommodation and social life. The study provides an up-to-date snapshot of disabled international students’ accounts and the multiple disadvantages they experience in their universities based on their identities as ‘disabled’, ‘international’ and sometimes ‘mature’students. The author also draws on a number of insights which could contribute towards a more inclusive HE system. The implication of concentrating on disabled international students’ experiences have direct ramifications, not only for this specific group, but also a wide range of students from diverse minority backgrounds who could gain from inclusive practices in education.

Описание: The number of disabled students accessing higher education in the United Kingdom has increased substantially, but the findings detailed in Disabled Students in Welsh Higher Education: A Framework for Equality and Inclusion identify that inequality and exclusion persist. Discussion is presented in three main sections: Part one, Perceptions, priorities and power, provides a theoretical and legislative framework towards understanding the experiences of disabled people in society today. The significance of competing priorities of, on the one hand legislators, policymakers and higher education providers, against, on the other hand the often excluded voice of disabled people, is considered in terms of legislative change, policy processes and provision implemented. Karen Beauchamp-Pryor addresses the absence of research examining the situation of disabled students in Wales and identifies the tensions which exist due to devolved political and policymaking power. Part one concludes by providing a detailed statistical analysis of the representation of disabled students in higher education. Part two, The case study university, explores an institutional response to disability policy and provision, academic departmental approaches and student experience. In the case study disability was perceived not as a matter of equal rights but as a welfare problem requiring measures of care, concern and compensation. Consequently, disabled students lacked power, which was reflected in restricted choice, lack of control and non-involvement. Part three, An equality and inclusive framework, responds to the question of how a model of equality and inclusion can be advanced within institutions. The author urges for an innovative active process of deliberation and discussion within universities of those factors which promote equality and the feeling of inclusion for disabled students: a process whereby wider views and experiences are embraced amongst staff and students.

Описание:

In addition to many other issues that touch higher education around the world, diversity and equity in higher education is fast becoming a major opportunity and challenge to institutions, countries and regions. The increasing centrality of diversity is fueled in part by changing demographics, immigration, social movements, calls for remedies to historic grievances, and the relationship between identity and access to power. This book will provide an opportunity to look at efforts at institutional change with respect to diversity in several countries where issues of diversity are moving beyond simply access for diverse populations to efforts at institutional transformation. Its purpose is to provide a comparative perspective with the hope that we will be able to see patterns across these contexts from which we might learn. Amongst other subjects it will address:
