Diagnóstico de la educación inclusiva en los centros de educación general básica del cantón El Guabo desde la perspectiva de docentes y padres de familia, año 2025 - 2026

Abstract

Abstract: This research aimed to diagnose inclusive education in a general basic education institution in El Guabo canton from the perspective of teachers and parents during the 2025 2026 period. The study was conducted under a quantitative approach, with a non-experimental, cross-sectional, and descriptive design. The sample consisted of 20 teachers and 20 parents, to whom a sociodemographic questionnaire and the Booth and Ainscow Inclusion Index were applied. The results showed a favorable assessment of inclusive cultures, policies, and practices, highlighting respect for diversity, the relationship between school and family, the organization of support, and pedagogical planning oriented toward student participation. However, aspects requiring improvement were also identified, such as methodological barriers, classroom accessibility, community participation, and the timely detection of educational needs. It is concluded that the institution shows progress in inclusive education, although it requires continuous actions to consolidate a more comprehensive and equitable response.
