ÖzetBu araştırmanın genel amacı Selçuk Üniversitesi bünyesinde yer alan engelli öğrencilerin eğitim alanında karşılaştıkları eğitsel sorunları ortaya koymaktadır. Bu çalışma nitel araştırma yöntemine göre dizayn edilmiştir. Veriler nitel araştırma desenine göre Selçuk Üniversitesi Engelli Öğrenci Birimi adına (1) öğrenci, öğrenci velileri ve öğretim elemanları ile yapılan görüşmelerden, (2) öğrenci, öğrenci velileri ve öğretim elemanlarının birime yaptıkları başvurulardan elde edilmiştir. 2009-2016 eğitim-öğretim yılları arasında toplamda 152 adet yazılı başvuru/görüşme (engeli öğrenciler, öğrenci velileri ve öğretim elemanları) gerçekleşmiştir. Başvuranlar arasında en çok sorun yaşayanların öğretim elemanlarının olduğu (n=76, %50), en çok sorun yaşadıkları temaların ise engel türlerine göre ders anlatım biçimine ilişkin sorunlar (n=62, %40,79) ve sınavların yapılma şekline ilişkin sorunlar (n=35, %23,03) olduğu görülmektedir. Görme engelli bir öğrenci için ders materyallerinde yeterli açıklamaların ve betimlemelerin yapılması gerekmektedir. İşitme engelli öğrenciler için hocanın sınıfta bulunduğu pozisyona dikkat ederek bu tür engele sahip bir öğrenciye yönelerek ders anlatımını gerçekleştirmesi gereklidir. Ortopedik engelli öğrencilere yönelik ise ders anlatım sırasında not tutmakta zorlanan bu öğrencilere notların erişiminin sağlanması önemlidir.// // // // // // Annotate Highlight

Predictors of family burden in families caring for children with special needs

“…For example, women are more likely to offer support spontaneously and when requested (Samter, 2002). Studies also showed that women provide more support to their spouses during stressful times but receive less support from their spouses in similar situations (Karakus & Kirlioglu, 2019). The high level of support women provide to their spouses may result in an expectation of a similar level of support from spouses.…”

“…However, men's focus on providing instrumental support rather than emotional support may not adequately respond to women's emotional needs. Karakus and Kirlioglu (2019) stated that women do not consider the support they receive from their spouses sufficient during stressful days and times. The perceptions of parents of children with special needs regarding the support they receive from their spouses may also change depending on the family burden brought on by the amount of extra services and needs that the child with a disability might need.…”

Experiences of Hearing Parents of Deaf Children; A Qualitative Study

“…In the first part, eight questions were about the parents' age, gender, economic status, marital status, number of children, children with special needs, and employment status [14,15]. In the second part, seven questions were created by reviewing the literature to determine the daily lives, spiritual and social experiences of parents with children with special needs, which was related to the phenomenon (Table 1) [9,[16][17][18]. After the semi-structured interview form was created, pilot interviews were conducted with two parents, and the clarity of the questions was tested.…”

The effect of mandala art therapy on the comfort and resilience levels of mothers who have children with special needs: A randomized controlled study

“…As a child who does not show a normal development is perceived as a failed child, the mother is considered culpable for this failure by her immediate circles or relatives. Affected by the other members of the family, she experiences negative feelings at a higher level (Karakus & Kirlioglu, 2019). Considering all these, coping strategies that mothers will use against emotional problems and successfully adapt to them are important, and many applications are needed to support and help these mothers (Avsaroglu & Gules, 2019).…”
