Students with disabilities in the University of Almería: ideas and attitudes about your educational and social integration.

Abstract

Our study is an inquiry into the educational and social integration of university students with special needs derived from their disabilities. We investigate how this integration is perceived from the perspectives of teaching / research staff, administration / services personnel, as well as students, including those with disabilities. In this article, for reasons of space, we only collect some information relating to disabled students studying in the University of Almeria, our overall objective being formulated as follows, "to study the perception and degree of satisfaction for students with disabilities on educational and social integration at the University of Almería". Methodologically we stem from the naturalistic paradigm because of the need to accomplish an examination deeply rooted in the reality that generates the object of study, without manipulation or alteration of different circumstances, either material or personal, as well as the perception that have different areas. Thus, we have developed a descriptive design of a selective type which uses the survey method and the questionnaire as its main instrument. Though we conclude with some significant findings, it is noteworthy that many other arguments could be considered in the light of the width and depth of the study, some of which can be identified by the reader.
