Inclussion: A technological intervention tool to strengthen inclusive processes in the classroom

Abstract

The general objective of the research is to strengthen inclusive processes in the classroom through "Inclusion" a virtual classroom, aimed at eleven preschool and elementary school teachers of the Francisco Palau y Quer School in the municipality of San Juan del Cesar La Guajira, which compiles and presents a digital tool focused on the promotion and strengthening of inclusive pedagogical processes. Inclusive contents were generated within  the curricular development and pedagogical tools to create changes in the school paradigm. The qualitative approach, action research, gathered information by applying the following instruments. First, an initial survey to identify the inclusive technological processes in the institution and the most recurrent learning barriers. Then, a triangulation was made through
direct observation. The main results indicated the lack of teacher training on inclusion issues, gaps and digital illiteracy, and the absence of digital tools to support the inclusive process. Finally, the semi-structured interview instrument was applied after the inclussion virtual classroom intervention to compile the pedagogical scope of the digital tool in the participating teachers. The development and application of inclussion allowed strengthening the teachers' work to apply inclusive didactic strategies in the classroom.
