    Analysis of the factors influencing the favorable participation of students with special needs in public tertiary education in Romania
    (MDPI, 2022) Stăiculescu, Camelia ; Dincă, Mihaela Violeta; Gheba, Andreea
    Even though research focused on inclusive education in Romania for institutions within the primary and secondary education system has been carried out, there are not many studies that approach the factors determining a favorable inclusion of students in higher education institutions. The central goal of the article consisted in investigating what impacts the willingness and openness for inclusive education for Romanian universities and the potential impact of five constructs of variables applied on fifteen universities from Romania. The outcomes of the quantitative (econometrical) analysis (a survey based on a questionnaire) showed the major impact of the variables of “policies and structures of the university”, “curriculum and pedagogy/teaching strategies”, “community and social integration”, and “accessibility and resources for students” (all focused on students with special needs) on the “willingness and openness for inclusive education” for Romanian universities. The variable of “communication and transparency” (focused on students with special needs) was associated with a medium influence on the “willingness and openness for inclusive education” for Romanian universities. This paper underlines the importance of incorporating the necessary training, support, flexibility, and resources to respond to a variety of student needs in order to improve inclusive education within higher education institutions in Romania.

    Teaching Careers from the Perspective of Graduates of Training Programmes for Teachers (Pilot Study: ASE)
    (2024-07-03) Stăiculescu, Camelia; Dincă, Violeta Mihaela; Gheba, Andreea
    The article aims to identify how graduates of the psycho-pedagogical training program of the Department for the Preparation of Teaching Personnel (DPPD) and of the Master’s in Teaching (MD) at the Bucharest University of Economic Studies (ASE) relate to the idea of a teaching career, their level of interest and motivation to continue in this professional direction, as well as their satisfaction with these programs and the skills acquired, using as a case study the graduates of the two programs at the ASE. Teachers’ motivation is considered an important factor both for job satisfaction and for the level of teaching performance, or the degree of retention in the field, less addressed in the human resources policy at the level of teaching staff in state institutions. Thus, the discussion can also be considered relevant in the context of the precarious salaries in Romanian education, a problem that can generate difficulties in attracting qualified people with a high level of skills in the field in which they teach. The main results of the pilot study showed that a large part of the respondents consider that their teaching career path is one that suits them, with an increasing interest in training and documentation, as well as in interacting with learners. The study concludes with the idea that intrinsic and altruistic factors are most important to graduates, in choosing a career in this field.
