Destrezas y habilidades de los docentes y su incidencia en la inclusión educativa de niños con discapacidad

Abstract

Abstract: This research highlights the importance of inclusion in education, focusing on the role of teachers in implementing inclusive policies and strategies. The main objective was to examine teachers' skills and their impact on the educational inclusion of children with disabilities. This study was conducted at the Fiscomisional San Francisco de Asís Educational Unit in Santa Cruz Galápagos with 29 teachers, using a quantitative, exploratory, and cross-sectional approach. Inductive, deductive, synthetic, and analytical methods were employed, along with interviews and questionnaires to collect data from authorities and teachers. The findings indicate that, despite teachers' awareness of the need for inclusivity, its application is not comprehensive, mainly due to the lack of ongoing training. This underscores the need to improve teacher training in inclusion to enhance educational practices and effectively address student diversity. Effective inclusion requires a sustained commitment to teacher training, adapting to the diverse needs of students, and fostering an equitable and accessible learning environment for all.
