Diagnóstico de la Educación Inclusiva en una unidad educativa particular de la ciudad de Quito, desde la perspectiva de docentes y padres de familia, año 2023

Abstract

Abstract: This research aims to know the perspectives of parents and teachers regarding the inclusive practices, cultures, and policies implemented at a private school in Quito, in order to know its strengths and weaknesses. The methodology used to collect, analyze and interpret the data obtained were inductive, analytical, statistical and synthetic methods. To do this, a survey was conducted to 20 parents and 20 teachers from that institution. The teachers and parents who participated in this research showed basic knowledge about educational inclusion, where it was possible to identify that there are several barriers such as: lack of trained teachers, insufficient physical resources, and most of all support from local institutions. However, the research also revealed that the school has made efforts to improve inclusion. 100% of parents and teachers have a third level education and some have a fourth level education, which reflects a positive impact to promote inclusive values such as empathy, respect, solidarity, which will allow discrimination to be eradicated in the educational unit.
