Abstract

This study examines publication trends and research developments in the field of self-advocacy among students with disabilities in higher education using bibliometric analysis. Specifically, it addresses three key questions: (RQ1) What strategies, programs, and interventions have been implemented to promote self-advocacy among students with disabilities in higher education? (RQ2) How do self-advocacy practices influence academic, social, and career outcomes for students with disabilities in higher education? (RQ3) What barriers and facilitators affect the development and practice of self-advocacy among students with disabilities in higher education? Data were retrieved from Scopus (1993–mid-2025) and screened using the PRISMA method, yielding 81 relevant records analyzed through R Studio’s Bibliometrix package.The findings show a steady growth in publications, averaging 5.16%n annually, reflecting increasing recognition of the importance of advocacy in higher education. Keyword co-occurence analysis identified four thematic clusters (1) psychological and institutional strategies for fostering advocacy, (2) curriculum and support systems, (3) outcomes such as academic persistence and career readiness, and (4) barriers including stigma and facilitation of accomodations and accessibility. Overall, the results highlight a maturing yet fragmented research domain, emphasizing the need for integrated institutional, pedagogical, and policy approaches to strengthen advocacy and equity in higher education.

Abstract

This study utilized Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) to identify the core factors that constitute lifelong learning competencies among students with disabilities in a university context. This study aimed to evaluate the content validity and perform Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) on a 14-item scale designed to assess lifelong learning competencies in students with disabilities. The items were developed based on five key factors: Goal setting, application of knowledge and skills, self-direction and self-evaluation, locating information, and adaptable learning strategies Analyzing the responses of 46 students with disabilities, the study validated the content of the 14 items on the Lifelong Learning Competencies scale. However, the EFA process indicated that only these 10 items could be consolidated into theoretical factors, resulting in four key dimensions: curiosity, openness to learning, access to information and information literacy, and self-direction and self-evaluation. These factors encapsulate critical elements of lifelong learning competencies, including self-regulation, critical thinking, and adaptability. The findings underscore the necessity for universities to implement inclusive strategies that nurture these competencies, thereby fostering an environment conducive to the success of students with disabilities. This research contributes to the advancement of inclusive educational practices, ensuring that students with disabilities are equipped to thrive in lifelong learning and achieve academic and professional success.
