Analysis of the inclusive education influence factors in Ecuador

Abstract

The objective of the research is to analyze inclusive education in the higher education system in Ecuador from the perception of the students, for which a descriptive and correlational methodology was used, with a quantitative approach. The instrument used was a questionnaire whose internal consistency was 0.917 with Cronbach's Alpha, which was applied to 384 students. The results revealed that there is a perception about inclusion in higher education that it is not managed effectively, with vulnerable aspects being the knowledge and preparation of the teacher, the awareness on the part of the administrative staff and the student body, in addition to structural aspects so that the entity is more accessible, curricular aspects are also referred to since inclusion is not addressed in all careers and there is no academic material, especially to solve the training needs of students with hearing and/or visual disabilities.
