MAINARDI-REMIS, Ana-Inés. Incidence of institutional factors and self-confidence on the academic careers of students with disabilities. Rev. iberoam. educ. super [online]. 2018, vol.9, n.26, pp.171-190. ISSN 2007-2872.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iisue.20072872e.2018.26.302.

Education faces the challenge of having to provide concrete responses to the call for inclusive actions able to address diversity and remove the barriers that exclude and label differences. This article discloses one of the findings of a research study that explored the knowledge of institutional and psychosocial factors (in particular self-confidence) that impact the academic career and performance of disabled students. The study was carried out at two Argentine universities. The results intend to encourage a new way of thinking about the problem and the construction of intervention areas that promote active participation, the revaluation of human rights and the improvement of the country’s educational services with a view to the real inclusion of people with disabilities.
