Interaction effects of university student inclusion factors

Recently, higher education institutions have shown growing commitment to supporting the inclusion of students with special educational needs, disabilities, and disadvantages due to recent migration (e.g. from a war conflict). Although numerous studies have explored the key factors affecting the successful inclusion of disadvantaged students, research has often focused on these factors in isolation. However, some factors, such as access to information and teaching approaches, interact in ways that affect the overall effectiveness of inclusion. The approach focuses on how combinations of support access, teaching strategies, and peer mentoring influence students’ perceived inclusion and success. This methodological framework provides deeper insights into the dynamic interactions between inclusion factors, which is critical for designing effective inclusion strategies in higher education environments. These findings contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the individual factors and their synergistic effects, providing valuable guidance for enhancing inclusion outcomes in university settings.
