GARCIA, Ismael; ROMERO, Silvia; VAZQUEZ, Blanca and BLANCO, Eugenio. EVALUATION OF INCLUSIVE PRACTICES OF ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL MEXICAN TEACHERS. Revista Chakiñan [online]. 2023, n.20, pp.160-177. ISSN 2550-6722. https://doi.org/10.37135/chk.002.20.09.
In this study it is considered that the implementation of inclusive education is a very demanding process, as it requires many resources and mainly the participation of teachers. This work sought to identify the inclusive practices of teachers while assessing the usefulness of different instruments that evaluate them directly or indirectly. We worked in five semi-urban schools (four elementary and one middle school) in the state of San Luis Potosí, Mexico. A quantitative descriptive study was carried out during the years 2020-2021 in five semi-urban schools (four primary and one secondary) in the state of San Luis Potosí, Mexico. Participants included 29 teachers. The inclusive practices of teachers in regular schools that have the support of special education services were evaluated with five instruments, four self-report and one observational. In general, the instruments used do provide complementary and useful information. Teachers showed good inclusive practices, although they require support to manage their students’ disruptive behaviors more adequately. In conclusion, having instruments to evaluate inclusive practices makes possible to identify strengths and areas of opportunity to continue advancing in the implementation of inclusive education.
