Diagnóstico del proceso de educación inclusiva desde la perspectiva de padres de familia y docentes, año 2024

Abstract

Abstract: The objective of this study is to diagnose the perception of the inclusive education process in educational units in the city of Loja. Therefore, descriptive and correlational analysis was used as the methodology. A sample of 40 participants was established (20 teachers and 20 parents). The instruments used were: the sociodemographic questionnaire (which provides information about the social reality of each respondent) and the inclusion index (which considers three interrelated dimensions: inclusive cultures, policies, and practices). Through the inclusion index questionnaire, we can see important results such as the existence of barriers to inclusion, highlighting the need to promote education for all, taking into account that each individual has different characteristics, embracing diversity, and striving to ensure that everyone feels included and safe within a space they will share with others. In conclusion, we can highlight that challenges arise, as well as a need, when there is a joint effort by the community to achieve truly inclusive education.
