Abstract
In Turkey, the special education population has steadily increased since 2006. By generating a 16-year period of data obtained from the National Education Statistics (NES) published annually by the Presidency of Strategy Development of the Ministry of National Education, we synthesize the gender odds ratios and trends by special education categories and/or educational settings. We used odds ratios and the Mann-Kendall test for data analysis. Gender disproportionality exists in favour of males with special needs in the majority of educational settings. In addition, we found uptrends, downtrends, and no trends for gender odds ratios. Gender disproportionality is discussed, along with implications for research and practice.
自 2006 年以来,土耳其的特殊教育人口稳步增长。我们从国家教育部战略发展主席团(Presidency of Strategy Development of the Ministry of National Education)每年发布的《国家教育统计》(National Education Statistics,NES)中获取了 16 年的数据,并根据特殊教育类别和/或教育环境综合分析了性别几率比和趋势。我们使用几率比例和曼-肯德尔检验法进行数据分析。在大多数教育环境中,有特殊需要的男性在性别比例上更占优势。此外,我们还发现性别几率比有上升趋势、下降趋势和无趋势。本文讨论了性别比例失调问题,以及对研究和实践的影响。
