Diagnóstico de la Educación Inclusiva en los Establecimientos de Educación General Básica del país, desde la perspectiva de docentes y padres de familia en en el Centro Psicopedagógico IDEATE, cantón Cayambe

Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of this research was to evaluate the perceptions of teachers and parents regarding inclusive education at the primary level of the IDEATE Psychopedagogical Center, located in the Cayambe canton, Pichincha province. The study was conducted using a quantitative approach, with a non-experimental, cross-sectional, exploratory, and descriptive design. The population consisted of teachers and parents from the institution, and a census sample was applied. A survey was used as the data collection technique, and a questionnaire as the instrument. The results showed a generally favorable perception of inclusive education, highlighting institutional commitment, openness to change, and the promotion of appropriate values as strengths. However, limitations were also identified, such as insufficient training, a scarcity of material resources, and a low level of family participation in educational processes. It is concluded that, while the institution has made progress in building an inclusive culture, it is necessary to strengthen teacher training, optimize available resources, and promote greater collaboration between the school, families, and the community.
