ملخص

هدفت الدراسة الحالية إلى الوقوف على اتجاهات طلبة الجامعة الهاشمية نحو الطلبة ذوي الإعاقة. اعتمدت الدراسة الحالية على المنهج الوصفي المسحي. وتكونت عينة الدراسة من (967) طالباً وطالبة من الطلبة الملتحقين بالجامعة الهاشمية تم اختيارهم بالطريقة العشوائية. ولتحقيق أهداف الدراسة قام الباحثان بتطوير مقياس اتجاهات طلبة الجامعة نحو الطلبة ذوي الإعاقة، وتكون المقياس بصورته النهائية من (64) فقرة. وأشارت النتائج إلى أن فقرات مقياس الاتجاهات نحو الطلبة ذوي الإعاقة تراوحت بين الاتجاهات المحايدة والاتجاهات الإيجابية، كما وأشارت النتائج الإجمالية للمقياس إلى مستوى اتجاهات محايدة نحو الطلبة ذوي الإعاقة بوجه عام. وأظهرت النتائج عدم وجود فروق ذات دلالة إحصائية تعزى لمتغير الجنس على اتجاهات طلبة الجامعة الهاشمية نحو أقرانهم من ذوي الإعاقة. ووجود فروق ذات دلالة إحصائية تعزى لمتغير السنة الدراسية لصالح طلبة السنة الرابعة.  ووجود فروق ذات دلالة إحصائية تعزى لأثر نوع الكلية لصالح الكليات الإنسانية. وأوصت الدراسة بإجراء المزيد من الدراسات العلمية حول الاتجاهات نحو الطلبة ذوي الإعاقة.

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to investigate the attitudes of Hashemite university students towards students with disabilities. The study adopted the descriptive survey approach. The sample of the study consisted of (967) students selected randomly. To achieve the aim of the study, the researchers developed a students' attitudes scale towards students with disabilities with (64) items. The findings showed that the items of the scales ranged between neutral and positive attitudes. The findings, in general, confirmed neutral attitudes towards students with disabilities. Moreover, there were no significant statistical differences attributed to gender on students' attitudes towards their peers. There were significant statistical differences attributed to the study year in favor of fourth year students. There were significant statistical differences attributed to the impact of the type of college in favor of humanities colleges. In light of the findings, the study recommended further scientific studies on attitudes towards students with disabilities.
