Prácticas educativas a través de una mirada intercultural. Implementación de un ambiente de aprendizaje inclusivo en el octavo año de la UECIB “Cacique Tumbalá”

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the implementation of an inclusive learning environment. During the pre-professional practices, developed in the eighth year of UECIB “Cacique Tumbala”, through a participatory action-research with a qualitative approach, the presence of a hearing impaired student was identified, who was isolated, due to the fact that the learning in the classroom was standardized. Some problems were identified, such as the exclusion of the student with disability, the excess of indi- vidualized work, a lack of motivation and the use of decontextualized materials. These factors affected the teaching-learning process in the Language and Literature class. On the basis of the aforementioned, measures were taken and a learning environment was implemented, which was contextualized and adapted to the needs of the students. For the evaluation of this project, variables such as group work, ability to express ideas and self-regulation were addressed. As a result, we can state that the creation of inclusive and contextualized learning environments reduces the exclusion gaps, thus promoting equality among all students.
