La orientación pre-laboral basada en las artes plásticas para adolescentes con discapacidad intelectual.

Abstract

The research below shows the pre-labor orientation of adolescents with intellectual disabilities at the Educational Unit Manuela Espejo, because it shows null training and information about pre-labor behaviors and abilities. The main objective of the research was to develop a system of occupational workshops based on plastic arts for pre-employment guidance for adolescents with intellectual disabilities belonging to the school “Unidad Educativa Manuela Espejo”.The research is part of the interpretative paradigm with qualitative tendency; the methods used in the research were the group case study, that is to say that what is intended in the research, will be punctualized with all the students of the group in turn used techniques such as participatory observation, structured interview, semi-structured interview and data analysis. The tools have been used for observation guides, interviews, documentary analysis, field newspapers and analysis unit. The information was obtained, a variety of sources, including documentary review and interviews, were required. The results obtained from the educational institution show the lack of pre-employment guidance, because the curriculum operated within the institution does not have functional workshops that provide pre-employment guidance; in turn it is evident that the institution's support networks lack a joint operation to manage areas already found in the institution for pre-employment guidance. The pre-labor orientation process begins from observation and identification of students' tastes, interest, skills and skills, seeking their innate inclinations for work or professional trades. The data obtained in research have been analysed, which has led to several workshop alternatives to develop skills that contribute to the development of pre-employment orientation.
