SELF-CONCEPT FEATURES OF INCLUSIVE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Abstract

The relevance of the article is due to the fact that today the number of people with disabilities in the world is increasing. Many of them could take a worthy place in society. An obstacle to this can be both intellectual disorders and violations of their Self-concept. The problem of the Self-concept has been studied by many psychologists, both foreign and domestic. Along with the Self-concept of healthy children, the Self-concept of children with disabilities, in particular children with musculoskeletal disorders, was studied. The study of the Self-concept of students with disorders of the musculoskeletal system was not practically carried out. This study is devoted to the study of the difference between the Self-concept of students with disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the Self-concept of conditionally healthy students. The study was conducted in an educational institution of inclusive higher education “Moscow State University of Humanities and Economics”, where conditionally healthy students (CHS) and many students with disabilities of various nosologies study. We assumed that there would be no special differences in the Self-concept of the CHS and students from the NODE, because students with HIA at this university feel comfortable due to the fact that there are many of them at the university, and the CHS treat them very kindly. In the course of the study, the authors of the article did not really reveal significant differences in the Self-concept of conditionally healthy students and students with disorders of the musculoskeletal system, except in their active Self. The results of the study can attract the attention of teachers, psychologists to form an adequate Self-concept in students with disorders of the musculoskeletal system.
