Protocolo pedagógico de atención a estudiantes con discapacidad en un sitio web. Experiencia del GEI y Bienestar Universitario

Abstract

At the Universidad Politécnica Salesiana, Quito (UPS-Q), there are two instances that provide educational follow-up for students with disabilities: the first is the Grupo de Educación Inclusiva (GEI) and the second is the Departamento de Bienestar Universitario. Actions in favor of inclusion have achieved international and national recognition, especially thanks to the GEI with the peer tutoring system; however, the experiences related to the lack of induction, planning and evaluation, which the author of this project evidenced as a member of the GEI (student tutor), motivated me to conduct this research. The objective of this study is to develop a Pedagogical Protocol, which identifies an inclusive academic process of: socialization, monitoring and evaluation, having the Curricular Adaptations as the main axis of the research. The components of the protocol were implemented in a website, which is directed to the instances that manage inclusive educational processes. The study starts from the research question: Do actors of the educational process of the GEI, and the Departamento de Bienestar Universitario apply pedagogical-communications strategies and methodologies that improve the Inclusive Education process of students with disabilities? This work seeks to answer this question, using a methodology and research tools that are subordinated to the hypermedial narrative. The results are projected the communications and pedagogical efforts still demanded by students with disabilities in the Higher Education system.
