The article presents the results of the study of the University professor’s readiness to work with students with disabilities. The readiness of the University professors to work in the system of inclusive education considered by the authors as a complex integrative professional and personal formation. It consists of three interrelated components: cognitive, affective and behavioral. Behavioral is one of the conditions for the success of teaching students with disabilities in high school. In other words, the effective professional activity of a University professor is facilitated by the knowledge of the students’ personality and their health features, positive attitude, acceptance and experience of interaction with them. In the framework of the study, 119 university professors of Russia, Belarus and Poland surveyed. The results allowed to determine the degree of readiness of University professors to work with students with disabilities and, as a result, demonstrated the need for developmental correction of each of the three components of this readiness.

This paper investigates the University of Zululand Library’s response to the university’s inclusive education agenda with respect to the accessibility of library services to students with disabilities. This was a qualitative study within the interpretive paradigm that used Michael Oliver’s social model of disability as an underpinning theory. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data from students with disabilities and library staff. In addition, physical inspection of the library building was also conducted. Data analysis was done by thematic analysis. The study reveals that the University of Zululand Library services are not inclusive. Students with disabilities struggle to access library services. They faced such challenges as inaccessibility of library services, unavailability of resources in alternative formats and assistive technologies, and the lack of a disability policy. The study also found that the library faced the following challenges in providing services for students with disabilities: limited funding, a lack of staff awareness and training, the lack of a disability policy and a lack of collaboration. Formulating regulations to enforce the implementation of disability policy and legislation, developing institutional disability policies, and providing assistive technologies are critical in ensuring the accessibility of library services to students with disabilities at the University of Zululand. Unless students with disabilities have equal access to information, the university’s inclusive education agenda will remain a distant dream. Access to academic library services is critical to the full participation of students with disabilities in education. Likewise, inclusive university education can only be realised when students with disabilities have equal access to information. This aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals and the United Nations Convention on the Rights for Persons with Disabilities, which promote equal access to services and facilities to persons with disabilities. This paper raises awareness for both library staff and university management about the current status of library facilities and services with respect to accessibility for students with disabilities and how to address inclusiveness in library service provision.

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools and Assistive Technologies (AT) can support people with Down Syndrome (PDS) and Intellectual Disabilities (PID) in increasing their self-confidence and independence, enhancing skills, and competences, participating in leisure activities. For families of PDS/PID, professionals, non-formal caregivers and volunteers, the challenge is to appreciate the benefits of ICT Tools in promoting inclusion. The aim of this study is to present the interdisciplinary and multidimensional scope of the DS Leisure project aiming at promoting the inclusion of PDS/PID through innovative ICT tools and their participation in inclusive leisure activities. Particularly, 24 individuals were asked to assess the global satisfaction and performance of PDS/PID, as well as the exploitation of ICT tools. Findings suggested that PDS/PID specific social, decision-making, and communication skills were significantly improved after their participation in the Experiential Activity and the e-Training platform was positively rated and considered a constructive learning experience.

Similarities And Differences

The article considers the problem of studying the determinants of the types of responsible behavior of young people. It is assumed that there are similarities and differences in the determination of the types of responsible behavior of the youth. The study involved 70 students (average age – 22 years old, SD = 2.19; men – 12%). We used the standardized methods "Questionnaire for the diagnosis of the personal symptom complex of responsibility" (Kocharyan I.A.), "Methods for the study of self-attitude" (Panteleev S.R.), the questionnaire "Determining the level of self-esteem" (Kovalev S.V.), "Social Desirability Scale" (D. Crown, D. Marlowe). We established that the most pronounced types of social behavior of youth are "ethics" and "self-sacrifice". It is shown that the severity of the type of social responsibility is determined by various combinations of psychological characteristics. The most complex regression equation characterizes the type of responsible behavior “Normalizations”. The least pronounced prediction of responsible behavior was revealed in relation to its types: "Fidelity to principle" and "Self-confidence". The results of this study can be useful for further study of the problems of social responsibility, as well as for the development of programs for the formation of youth's social responsibility in educational organizations.
