Abstract

ABSTRACTBackground Research on post-secondary training for individuals with intellectual disabilities has generally focused on programs, with little consideration of the structures and mechanisms that give rise to them. This article adopts a critical realist perspective to comparatively analyse and theorise about the contextual structures contributing to the introduction of post-secondary training programs in universities for individuals with intellectual disabilities.Method Six stages in critical realist explanatory research were followed. They include (1) description, (2) analytical resolution, (3) abduction/theoretical redescription, (4) retroduction, (5) comparison between different theories and abstractions, and (6) concretisation and contextualisation.Results Historical, socio-political, and educational policy structures and mechanisms, indicated three program typologies: program as niche, as a generalisable prototype, and as an evolutionary response to evolving conditions.Conclusions By developing explanations about preconditions, the study draws out nuanced sub-types occurring within a single university-based program, theorises on trajectories for success, and lays the groundwork for future empirical and conceptual development.KEYWORDS: Intellectual disabilityinclusive post-secondary educationhigher educationcritical realism Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Ethics approvalThe study was conducted according to the guidelines of the National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research (National Statement), and approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) at Torrens University Australia (HREC-0131).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by 2019 Laureate Grant for Inter-Institutional Research.

影响智障人士大学专上培训计划发展的先决条件

摘要背景对智力障碍个体的高等教育培训的研究通常集中在项目上，很少考虑产生这些项目的结构和机制。本文采用批判现实主义的视角，比较分析和理论化有助于大学引入智障人士专上培训计划的语境结构。方法将批判现实主义解释研究分为六个阶段。它们包括(1)描述，(2)分析解决，(3)溯因/理论重新描述，(4)还原，(5)不同理论和抽象之间的比较，以及(6)具体化和语境化。结果历史、社会政治和教育政策结构和机制显示出三种计划类型:作为生态位的计划，作为可推广的原型的计划，以及作为对不断变化的条件的进化反应的计划。通过对先决条件的解释，该研究得出了在单个大学项目中发生的细微子类型，对成功的轨迹进行了理论分析，并为未来的经验和概念发展奠定了基础。关键词:智障包容性专上教育高等教育批判现实主义披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。伦理批准本研究是根据国家人类研究伦理行为声明(National Statement)的指导方针进行的，并得到了澳大利亚托伦斯大学人类研究伦理委员会(HREC)的批准(HREC-0131)。这项工作得到了2019年机构间研究获奖者补助金的支持。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
