Faculty Members' Ratings of the Effectiveness of Academic Strategies for University Students with Psychiatric Disabilities
Brockelman, Karin F.
Journal of Postsecondary Education and Disability, v24 n1 p43-52 2011
University faculty members were surveyed regarding which academic strategies they used to accommodate students living with psychiatric disabilities and the effectiveness of these strategies. Differences were found between Engineering and faculty in fields other than science, technology, engineering, and math (non-STEM) with regard to the academic strategies they use to accommodate students living with psychiatric disabilities; five of the strategies were used more frequently by Engineering faculty than non-STEM faculty and four of the strategies were used more frequently by non-STEM faculty. One strategy, providing extra time on an exam, was rated as significantly more effective by Engineering faculty than non-STEM faculty. (Contains 3 tables.)
