Proceso de Inclusión Educativa de personas con discapacidad en la Unidad Educativa Dr. José María Velasco Ibarra

Abstract

This research work focused on investigating the issue of Educational Inclusion and attention to diversity. To develop the study, the objective was raised: to analyze the process of educational inclusion of people with disabilities in the Dr. José María Velasco Ibarra Educational Unit, in the city of Quito. The mixed, non-experimental, transversal and descriptive approach methodology was established. Four instruments aimed at teachers, parents, students, a manager and community institutions were applied. The information collected through questionnaires was organized, tabulated and graphed. Responses to the interview and to the focus group were recorded and analysed. The most relevant findings indicated that within the educational institution there are high levels of willingness and acceptance towards culture and inclusive practices, in addition to the active participation of the protagonists of the educational event in the implementation of an effective inclusive education that responds to the diversity, especially people with disabilities. It was concluded that the entire educational community defends the right to inclusion and is part of the transformation processes that outline a more equitable and just education.
