Strukturalne razlike v samoodločanju dijakov s posebnimi potrebami in brez posebnih potreb v srednjem strokovnem in poklicnem izobraževanju

The aim of the study was to analyze the differences in degree of self-determination between students with and without disabilities and to relate these differences to grade point average and gender in both groups. Students in both groups were equalized in pairs by age, gender and school program (n = 12261 pairs). Results indicate that students with disabilities have a lower level of self-determination than their peers without disabilities. With regards to gender, girls with disabilities have the lowest level of self-determination. An analysis of differences in self-determination by grade point average (GPA) showed that students with and without disabilities who had high GPAs have higher levels of self-determination than students with low GPAs. Results of this study reveal important fields of intervention, especially for students with disabilities.Namen raziskave je analizirati razlike v samoodločanju med dijaki s posebnimi potrebami in dijaki brez posebnih potreb ter razlike v samoodločanju obeh skupin dijakov glede na šolski uspeh in spol. Dijaki so bili izenačeni z metodo parov glede na starost, spol in izobraževalni program (n = 122 oz. 61 parov). Rezultati kažejo, da imajo dijaki s posebnimi potrebami nižjo raven samoodločanja kot njihovi vrstniki brez posebnih potreb. Analiza razlik glede na spol je pokazala, da imajo dekleta s posebnimi potrebami najnižjo raven samoodločanja. Analiza razlik glede na šolski uspeh pa kaže, da imajo dijaki z višjim šolskim uspehom ne glede na posebne potrebe višjo raven samoodločanja kot dijaki z nižjim šolskim uspehom. Rezultati raziskave osvetlijo pomembna področja za intervencijo, zlasti pri skupini dijakov s posebnimi potrebami
