Abstract

REAL CASTELAO, Sara et al. Comparative study on the situation of students with disability in the University of Oviedo among the courses 2004-2005 and 2007-2008. Psychosocial Intervention [online]. 2008, vol.17, n.2, pp.169-188. ISSN 2173-4712.

Since 2005 the disability research team of the University of Oviedo, led by professor Aguado, has carried out a research line to assess the University of Oviedo students needs and situation. The study we present in this article is still on progress and its goal is to reapply the "Situation and Needs Interview" to the students with disability registered in the University of Oviedo in the 2007-2008 academic year. This retest tries to fulfil four objectives: to make a follow-up and a comparative analysis of the results of the original study, to know the needs of the new students, to make an impact assessment of the previous study and to analyse the psychometric properties of the used scale, by the test-retest technique. This retest is a pioneer study for two reasons: it will be the first comparative study on this matter and will provide psychometric data of the used scale that will allow improving the scientific guaranties in this field in which there are only punctual studies and "ad hoc" built scales.

Keywords : Disability; University; Students; Needs; Integration; Comparative study.
