Barreras de la inclusión educativa en Mexico

Abstract

In contemporary times, numerous countries have achieved notable advancements in the pursuit of fostering inclusivity within educational institutions. Nevertheless, there exist certain constraints that remain unresolved and necessitate assessment from the standpoint of inclusive education. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the obstacles to inclusive education as perceived by teachers in Mexico. The research employed a qualitative methodology and utilised an immersive story design. Data were collected from a sample of 59 instructors working in six public educational institutions in Mexico, using the narrative inquiry method and the focus group methodology. The findings have revealed five distinct obstacles that impede the implementation of inclusive education: the integration of the educational community, students' educational attainment, inadequate preparation and skills for inclusive education, resistance to diversity, and challenges in educational transitions. In order to ensure the comprehensive inclusion of kids, it is imperative for educators to cultivate a heightened understanding of the unique capabilities of each individual student.
