The quality of life of students at a primary school with inclusive education

Abstract

In the article, we present the partial results of a broader research aimed at finding out knowledge about the quality of students at an inclusive education elementary school. The research was attended by 71 students (n = 40 boys) and (n = 31 girls) of primary school between the ages of 10 and 15 with an average age of 13.59 attending the 5th to 9th year of the second level of inclusive primary school in Bratislava. We divided the students according to the criteria into athletes and non-athletes, and with and without developmental disorders. We used a standardized questionnaire called SQUALA (Subjective Quality of Life Analysis) to collect research data. To process the obtained data, we used basic mathematical and statistical methods to determine the distribution of normality of the data, we used the Shapiro-Wilk test and a non-parametric statistical method - the Mann-Whiteny U-test. We verified statistical significance at the 5% (p ≥ 0.05) and 1% (p ≥ 0.01) levels of statistical significance. We found that gender itself and developmental learning disability. activity and attention have no significant impact on the level of quality of life. Pupils playing sports showed statistically significant differences in several dimensions of quality of life, namely: in the importance of psychosocial well-being (p < 0.01), in satisfaction with physical wellbeing (p < 0.05), psychosocial well-being (p < 0.01), spiritual well-being (p < 0.01) and with their appearance and the things they own (p < 0.05).
