Work Engagement of the Academic Community in Developing an Inclusive Campus

Abstract

In the last decade, higher education has moved to implement inclusive education to strive for equal access for people with disabilities. However, equality of accessibility is not only in the aspect of infrastructure, but also includes the academic and non-academic climate on campus. If examined more comprehensively, many problems are still not resolved. Various factors are responsible for this, one of which is the involvement of community work in the campus environment. This study aims to describe the role of lecturer involvement in managing quality and equity learning. This research raises a project of implementing inclusive education in various universities in Indonesia. The method used is a mixed method by utilizing a combination of UWES and HEdPERF instruments. Researchers involved 100 lecturer respondents who were involved in learning with students with disabilities. This research has proven the phenomenon of lecturer performance in the perspective of inclusive education. Lecturers with no special educational background have a significant gap. The results of this research can also be a contribution to better policies and procedures.
