Abstract
Before the Enlightenment period, despite cultural differences, disadvantaged individuals were prone to exclusion, discrimination, or ill-treatment in societies in general. With the Enlightenment process, the importance of giving attention to humans came under discussion, and disadvantaged groups, especially disabled individuals, gradually began to acquire various rights in the progressing periods. However, despite many achievements in terms of rights, disabled individuals can still face discrimination and exclusion in various areas within society due to the presence of the concept of "ableism." The field of education is one of these areas. Indeed, education is particularly important for disabled individuals in terms of socialization, gaining employment opportunities, and avoiding deprivation and poverty. Building upon this significance, this study focuses on the problems encountered by disabled individuals actively pursuing education at Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University and Bilecik Şeyh Edebali University. The research was conducted using qualitative research techniques, specifically in-depth interviews. The data obtained from the interviews were interpreted through thematic analysis and field notes. As a result, it has been revealed that the perception of disability in the university has transformed on the basis of administrative staff, and the institutions have not yet kept up with this transformation. It has been concluded that although there are arrangements made by the institutions regarding accessibility, they are not sufficient, there are still students with access problems in the field of education, and therefore institutions should make improvements. On the other hand, it is understood that the awareness levels of the peers of disabled students about disability and accessibility are not sufficient
在启蒙运动之前,尽管存在文化差异,但在整个社会中,弱势群体容易受到排斥、歧视或虐待。随着启蒙运动的进程,关注人的重要性开始被讨论,弱势群体,特别是残疾人,在发展的时期逐渐开始获得各种权利。然而,尽管残疾人在权利方面取得了许多成就,但由于“残疾主义”概念的存在,残疾人在社会的各个领域仍然面临歧视和排斥。教育领域就是其中之一。的确,在社会化、获得就业机会和避免被剥夺和贫穷方面,教育对残疾人特别重要。基于这一意义,本研究重点关注在Muğla Sıtkı科帕尔曼大学和Bilecik Şeyh Edebali大学积极接受教育的残疾人所遇到的问题。本研究采用定性研究技术,特别是深度访谈进行。从访谈中获得的数据是通过专题分析和实地记录加以解释的。结果显示,大学对残疾的看法在行政人员的基础上发生了转变,而机构尚未跟上这种转变。得出的结论是,虽然各机构在无障碍方面做出了安排,但这些安排并不充分,在教育领域仍有学生存在无障碍问题,因此各机构应作出改进。另一方面,据了解,残疾学生的同龄人对残疾和无障碍的认识水平还不够
