Educational needs of Ecuadorian students with disabilities for Sumak Kawsay education

Abstract

The present study aims to describe the educational needs of students with disabilities in an educational unit in Santo Domingo de los Tsachilas (Ecuador), and to contrast this reality defined from his experience with that demanded by the Ecuadorian legislator for the construction of an education constitutionally defined as Sumak Kawsay. A qualitative methodology is followed, and the structured interview is applied as a data collection technique to six students with different disabilities according to the National Disability Council of Ecuador. Among the most relevant conclusions, there is a still an incipient inclusive educational culture, mainly concerned with the physical structure rather than the integration of the different actors of the educational community. In particular, there is a need to strengthen the functions of the Student Counselling Departments, as well as teacher training and support in reinforcing the relationship of trust with students, identification of their particular needs, and an appreciation of the learning value of this group as an intercultural relationship oriented towards educational inclusion and abandonment of welfarism
