Factores que favorecen u obstaculizan el proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje en los estudiantes con discapacidad en la Universidad Politécnica Salesiana, sede Quito. Período académico del 49 al 59

Abstract

The purpose of the research is to identify the factors that facilitate or limit the educational process of students with disabilities at the Salesian Polytechnic University, Quito, from semesters 49 to 59. To ensure access and permanence of this population, the institution started in 2016 the project called "companion tutor" led by the UNESCO Chair and the Inclusive Education Group. The objective of the project is to guide and orient the student with disabilities in their school career and develop personal, social and physical skills. After five years of executing the plan, it is necessary to systematize this experience in order to know what have been the aids and barriers, and to evaluate the work done during six periods. The methodology for the inquiry is mixed, based on a qualitative and quantitative approach, of an exploratory type. In addition, participant observation was applied during two semesters in order to know the dynamics and have access to information. The tool used is the student portfolio, where the data collection forms are filed, showing the strengths and obstacles that have been evidenced in the following areas: cultural, educational, bonds, attitudinal and health. As a result, it was found that the program has benefited young people with special abilities; they are now more independent, capable of managing their own knowledge. Also, barriers have been identified, on the part of the teachers, due to their lack of knowledge of support strategies in teaching.
