Sažetak
The tertiary education system is developing the way it includes widening participation for students from under-represented groups. These under-represented student groups include students with disabilities, mature students, students from low income families, students from national minorities groups, international students, etc. The teaching and learning system supported by information and communication technology enables access for students with disabilities as well as other under-represented groups, such as gender in science. The general objective of this research is to explore student knowledge of possible methods of increasing the quality of inclusion for students from under-represented groups in academic environments. The specific objective is to explore their attitudes and knowledge about usage of information and communication technology (ICT) during education and subsequent employment. Respondents are asked to estimate the importance of equal opportunities in studies. Results show that there are governmental and institutional strategies and policies that enable students in the process of gathering academic competences, academic achievement and employment. The results are interpreted within the scope of Croatian national politics. Gender equality could be implemented in the education, career planning and employment procedures. Working experience is an important factor in gathering professional competences and can be done not only through formal working experience, but also through volunteering opportunities. The different types of institutional support for students with disabilities is explained and discussed. These results could be used to enhance the quality of inclusion for students from under-represented groups within the educational system by usage of ICT, peer assistant support and collaborations between educational institutions at all levels of education and labour market.
