Sažetak
The Developing Inclusive Education for Students with Disabilities in Sri Lankan Universities (IncEdu) project was supported by the EU under the Inclusive Education call (2020-2023). The aim of the IncEdu project is to develop a system to promote equal opportunities for students with disabilities in Sri Lankan universities. Within the work package 3 "Development of staff competences", led by the Croatian partner (Faculty of Education and Rehabilitation Sciences, University of Zagreb), education of (future) educators from the partner universities in Sri Lanka was developed. The aim of the education of educators is to develop the competence of educators to conduct workshops for teaching and nonteaching staff in Sri Lankan universities in order to improve the equality of students with disabilities in higher education. The education of educators is ongoing (two out of three parts of the education have been conducted). The purpose of this presentation is to present the results of the evaluation of educators education. A comprehensive questionnaire was developed to determine the extent to which the learning outcomes of the education were met and the impact of the education on knowledge and attitudes toward students with disabilities in higher education. Participants (N=14) completed the questionnaire prior to the first part of the education (Zagreb, November 2022), and they will complete it again after the third and final part (Colombo, March 2023). The results of the evaluation will contribute to the future development of educators education process and thus to promotion of inclusive higher education for students with disabilities.
