STUDENT ATTITUDES TOWARDS INCLUSION IN HIGHER EDUCATION

Svaki pojedinac u duštvu, bez obzira na individualne različitosti, ostvaruje pravo na cjelokupno aktivno sudjelovanje unutar zajednice. Unutar koncepta inkluzivnog društva prihvaćaju se razlike te se nastoji umanjiti diskriminacija. Inkluzivno obrazovanje predstavlja pruţanje jednakih prava i jednakih mogućnosti svakoj osobi. Usprkos raznim preprekama, broj pripadnika marginaliziranih skupina u sve većem broju upisuje programe na visokoškolskim ustanovama. U ovom istraţivanju nastojali su se saznati stavovi studenata o inkluziji u visokom školstvu. Proveden je anketni upitnik koji se temeljio na samoprocjeni socijalnih kompetencija studenata te ispitivanje njihovih stavova o migracijama unutar EU i o socijalnoj inkluziji. Istraţivanje obuhvaća područje Republike Hrvatske te se dolazi do zaključka da ne postoji statistička značajna razlika u samoprocjeni socijalnih kompetencija kod studenata kao ni u stavovima o migracijama unutar okvira EU i o socijalnoj inkluziji kod studenata s obzirom na spol, razinu studija, vrstu studija i ţivotnu dob.Every individual, regardless of individual differences, exercises the right to participate actively throughout the community. Within the concept of an inclusive society, differences are accepted and discrimination is sought. Inclusive education is about providing equal rights and equal opportunities to every person. Despite various obstacles, the number of members of marginalized groups in higher education programs is increasing. This study sought to find out students' attitudes towards inclusion in higher education. A questionnaire was conducted based on the self-assessment of students' social competencies and an examination of their views on intra-EU migration and on social inclusion. The study covers the territory of the Republic of Croatia and concludes that there is no statistically significant difference in the self-assessment of social competences among students, as well as in the views on migration within the EU and on social inclusion among students in terms of gender, level of study, type of studies and age
