Abstract

This article explores student engagement with tuition at The Open University (a distance learning Higher Education institution in the UK), specifically students with declared mental health disabilities, comparing their access rates with (disabled) students overall, studying in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, 2018–2019 .y. The results show that students with disabilities generally engaged with all modes of tuition in similar proportions to which they were registered on the modules. However, students with mental health disabilities engaged with tuition at lower levels than registered on the modules, and the amount reduced as they progressed beyond the first level of study. Regardingthe availability of different types of tuition, rather than widening access to more students , for students with a declared mental health disability it was often the same students accessing the different modes of tuition. We conclude that for students with mental health disabilities, more tuition event modesdid not widen access to more students, although it did give more options to those who did access the tuition. These findings contribute to improving the currently limited understand- ing of how to effectively support students with mental health disabilities in tuition.

学费出勤率和有心理健康障碍的学生:扩大学费选择是否增加了入学机会?
本文探讨了开放大学(英国的一所远程教育高等教育机构)的学生参与学费的情况,特别是宣布有心理健康残疾的学生,将他们的入学率与在艺术与社会科学学院学习的(残疾)学生进行了比较,2018年至2019年。研究结果显示,残疾学生通常以与他们在模块中注册的比例相似的比例参与所有学费模式。然而,有心理健康障碍的学生的学费水平低于模块注册的水平,而且随着他们超过一级学习水平,学费也有所减少。考虑到不同类型的学费的可用性,而不是扩大更多学生的入学机会,对于宣布有心理健康残疾的学生来说,通常是同一个学生获得不同的学费模式。我们得出的结论是,对于有心理健康障碍的学生来说,更多的学费活动模式并没有扩大更多学生的机会,尽管它确实为那些获得学费的学生提供了更多的选择。这些发现有助于提高目前对如何在学费中有效支持心理健康残疾学生的有限理解。
