The literature on university education for people with disabilities
almost exclusively refers to students with sensory impairments, motor
difficulties or high-functioning autism. However, some universities, mostly
in Italy, Spain and USA, offer specific education degree to people with
intellectual disabilities (ID). The aim of this exploratory research was to
determine whether university professors in Serbia already have experience
with these students and what do they think about ad hoc university courses
created for them. The research was done within the ERASMUS+ Project
“Training university teachers for the inclusion of people with intellectual
disabilities”. The convenience sample consisted of 160 university teachers
coming from five Serbian universities, aged from 24 to 67 years (M =
43.84; SD= 9.32). They were asked to fill in a questionnaire on formative
needs of university teachers teaching students with ID. Surprisingly, 18%
stated they have taught to people with I...D in higher education environment.
The majority (70.4%) think it could be useful to establish an ad hoc
university course for people with ID. On the contrary, some participants
were extremely offended by the idea that people with ID could be enrolled
in post-secondary education at the university level. Pearson’s chi-square
test was used to determine differences between university teachers working
in different scientific fields. No statistically significant difference regarding
opinions on university courses for people with ID was observed between
university professors teaching in faculties of social sciences, medicine and
natural sciences (χ²(2) = 1.087, p > .05). It seems that inclusion of students
with ID at universities in Serbia is already a reality, although there is no
common framework that regulates this issue.
