Counseling Needs of University Students with Disability in Oman and its Relationship to Academic Adjustment: A Qualitative Study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Counseling needs play significant roles in the lives of university students. This is because counseling needs could help students with their psychological stability and academic adjustment. Hence, addressing such topic among university students, especially those with disability, is the top priority. This study aimed at identifying the counseling needs among students with disability and addressing the differences between male and female disabled students in this regard. To achieve these aims, a qualitative approach of using in-depth interviews with 10 males and 8 females in Sultan Qaboos University was used. Findings of this study revealed that disabled students faced different psychological problems related to assignment submission, doing exams, and making friendships. The study further showed that they also had relationship problems with the academic and administration staff especially at the beginning of every academic semester. Results also showed that male and female disabled students shared similar counseling needs. Although the students valued the counseling services that are currently offered by the university, they thought that they were in need for more services as well, especially at the individual level.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
