Running head: DISABLED STUDENTS 1 Disabled Students in the College Setting Unit 3 Assignment 1 PSY – 8130 Adult Learner in the Classroom Dr. Tiffany Culver Capella University Winter 2023 Lindsay Simmons
Running head: DISABLED STUDENTS 2 Research The number of college degree-seeking mentally disabled individuals attending universities in the United States of America has been steadily rising over the years. However, it has been a challenge for these students to obtain the necessary aid to succeed in the classroom setting because of the difficulty in procuring accommodations to pass the class (Bourdon et al., 2020). Typically, the disabled learners must modulate the severity of the disability in order to obtain help, having to obtain scripted medical documentation, and having to negotiate certain accommodations with faculty members in different departments to find success (Barnard-Brak et al., 2010). Since these college students struggle with mental illness, this presents with learning difficulties in the course (Kim et al., 2015). This is primarily due to the altered mental status of the disabled individuals, which causes working memory loss that results in the inability to complete assessments, remember material, and impairs the cognitive function of the mind (Moran, 2016). Therefore, it is vital to address the topic of disabled students in the college setting in educational psychology to better prepare faculty and learners alike to succeed in the future. Culture, Community, and Society It is important to educate all students to have an open mind when it comes to the disabled learners on a college campus. The disabled students are a minority population at universities and throughout the years, have faced many challenges as a community due to outdated beliefs from society. To prevent bias, obsolete assumptions, and the conventional stereotypes, many universities have introduced diversity programs to help educate learners, faculty, and college staff about other cultures, religions, beliefs, and the minority populations (Denson et al., 2021). The results of the educational seminars for cultural competency exhibited improvement of knowledge about disabilities and a change of attitude. However, the courses cannot eliminate

Regrettably, there a number of faculty, staff, and students who incorrectly believe the disabled population could present problems or difficulties at the university (Becker et al., 2002). Theories Most of the adult learners in college courses are self-directed learners. This is because the individual knows which learning style or teaching method suits their studies the best, and also have an idea on how to retain new material for assessments and apply the knowledge in a particular setting (Machynska & Boiko, 2020). There is a transition to self-directed learning. This transition usually begins when the student shifts from childhood to adulthood, which is known as andragogy. Thus, this is the beginning of the self-directed adult learner who has their own motivation to succeed. Adult learners with disabilities, on the other hand, have various learning styles dependent upon the type of disability and require a specific teaching method to pass the course. Therefore, it is critical that these disabled learners obtain any necessary accommodations to succeed in the class. The disabled learners must have the appropriate aid from the university and faculty after seeking help through the disability services (Bourdon et al., 2020). Yet, it is possible that the theory of self-directed learning may not apply to the entire population of disabled individuals due to learning impairments but may provide an insight on what needs to be implemented in class (Steele, 2005). Instructions and Assessments When teaching disabled students at the college level, there must be an implementation of a variety of teaching methods for success. The reflective assessment and rubric are the optimal choices to benefit the disabled population, since these provide the most feedback and instruction.
