Inclusive education in Ecuador: Perspective of directors, family and evaluators

Abstract

The objective of this study is to analyze the inclusion indicators in a sample of schools in the city of Cuenca, and compare the perceptions among different educational agents. Nineteen directors of educational centers, 156 families and 30 graduates of university degrees in education completed the Index for Inclusion. The results show differences in the perception of the degree of inclusion in the three groups. The role of social desirability bias when interpreting the results is discussed.
