Inclusive practices are shown to be strong in terms of the use of adapted teaching tools, evaluation methods, and teacher support. However, a weakness lies in the students’ integration of peers with special educational needs into curricular activities. Regarding inclusive culture, the faculty members demonstrate strength in this area, but the same cannot be said for the students, as nearly half of those surveyed admit that they do not feel part of an inclusive culture.&nbsp; </em></p> Verónica Nataly Cevallos Granizo Amparo Cazorla Copyright (c) 2025 Revista Científica y Arbitrada de Ciencias Sociales y Trabajo Social: Tejedora.

The purpose of the present study was to analyze the inclusive classroom environment and meaningful learning in specific educational needs. It was developed under the qualitative paradigm, with a descriptive scope and non-experimental design. The population was made up of 15 Basic Education teachers, taking as a sample 5 teachers from the high school, elementary and middle school sublevels. The non-participant observation technique was used and the observation sheet was used as an instrument. The results show weaknesses in the classroom environment in relation to the fact that there are no time spaces for feedback and academic reinforcement for students with specific educational needs, and there are also no specific educational resources for this group of students, in terms of learning. significant, the students' previous experiences in relation to the new topic are not taken into account, diversity is not taken into account to include them in the learning activities. In conclusion, an inclusive classroom environment, supported by strong affective and interrelated elements, not only improves the educational experience of students with Specific Educational Needs, but also strengthens group cohesion and fosters a more equitable and meaningful education for all</p> María Fernanda Cuji Sangucho Copyright (c) 2025 Revista Científica y Arbitrada de Ciencias Sociales y Trabajo Social: Tejedora.

Accordingly, current migration processes are part of the search for better economic, social, cultural and educational conditions. Accordingly, the present research was directed by the objective of proposing strategies for the educational inclusion of students in a situation of human mobility at the National University of Chimborazo, for which a mixed methodology was used with data provided by the university and included an exhaustive documentary review of local data and publications of international organizations to which it was possible to have access. The results showed that UNACH has inclusive policies for students in conditions of human mobility, however, due to the need observed, it is proposed as proposals for strategies to better serve this population to have a national, regional and municipal observatory that allows for reliable data to ensure the principles of accessibility, adaptability, acceptability and availability, as set out by the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (2021).</p> Mayra Alejandra Fiallos Sánchez Rómulo Arteño Ramos Copyright (c) 2025 Revista Científica y Arbitrada de Ciencias Sociales y Trabajo Social: Tejedora.

The purpose of this research was to propose pathways and protocols for students with visual impairment in the higher education system. It was carried out under a qualitative approach, with an exploratory and applicative scope, considering a population of 293 students and a sample of 9 students with visual impairment. Among the results, it is highlighted that there is a population with visual impairment without updated medical follow-up or without a current disability card. The research concludes that the National University of Chimborazo has a solid internal legal framework, which facilitates the implementation of routes and protocols in favor of the visually impaired student population.</p> Mireya Lizeth Imbaquingo Pijal Paco Fernando Janeta Patiño Copyright (c) 2025 Revista Científica y Arbitrada de Ciencias Sociales y Trabajo Social: Tejedora.

The general objective is to establish pathways and protocols for students in situations of human mobility at the National University of Chimborazo. The methodology employed followed a mixed methods approach, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative methods. The study has a non-experimental, descriptive design, as the variables ere not manipulated: Educational Inclusion and Human Mobility, the population consisted od students from UNACH, and the sample included students in a situation of human mobility, with a total of 312 participating students. The information was collected through surveys as a part of the UNACH project: “Inclusion of students with specific educational needs at the National University of Chimborazo” the results reveal that only a minority of students in situations of human mobility responded to the survey. Among them, many reported debilitating emotional conditions such as depression and anxiety, while only a few received psychological support or had formalized documentation. These highlights significant gaps in the mechanisms of care, underscoring the necessity for designing sustainable solutions and ensuring continuous monitoring to promote equity and respect for human rights in educational contexts.</em></p> Emma Marisol Llanga Asitimbay Gladys Patricia Bonilla González Copyright (c) 2025 Revista Científica y Arbitrada de Ciencias Sociales y Trabajo Social: Tejedora.

Therefore, the objective of this study was to propose didactic strategies for teaching English to elementary-level students with intellectual disabilities. A quantitative approach was employed, using surveys directed at the parents of these students. Additionally, a literature review of the theoretical foundations of intellectual disability and English language teaching was conducted. The survey results indicate that, according to parents' perceptions, multisensory and kinesthetic strategies, as well as interactive games, are considered the most effective for improving the learning process for these students. Furthermore, collaborative interaction and social engagement are key elements in fostering communicative and social skills. Based on these findings, a proposal was formulated with the aim of not only enhancing English language learning but also strengthening students' social and communicative competencies by creating an inclusive and motivating educational environment that encourages active participation. In conclusion, inclusive teaching strategies, such as the use of multisensory resources, interactive games, and kinesthetic learning, could benefit English language instruction for students with cognitive disabilities, as these methods not only actively engage students but also have the potential to promote a more motivating educational environment.</em></p> Paulina Elizabeth Lozano Campoverde Copyright (c) 2025 Revista Científica y Arbitrada de Ciencias Sociales y Trabajo Social: Tejedora.

In a context where inclusive education is crucial for sustainable development, the research aimed to understand how professors implement and perceive these inclusive dimensions. A mixed-method approach was employed, combining quantitative and qualitative phases. Surveys were conducted with 51 faculty members using the Situational Scale for Attention to Diversity and Educational Inclusion (ESADIE), complemented by in-depth interviews. The findings reveal predominantly positive perceptions regarding inclusion in terms of culture but highlight limitations in policies and resources, particularly concerning infrastructure and faculty training. Additionally, progress in inclusive practices, such as the use of diverse pedagogical strategies, was noted, though gaps persist in the implementation of curricular adaptations. The analysis underscores that UNACH faces challenges related to effectively communicating inclusive policies, improving faculty training, and enhancing physical and digital accessibility.

This is supported by a quantitative approach, which allowed collecting and analyzing numerical data to describe and understand educational phenomena, which became a key process to identify patterns or trends that can guide future inclusive actions and policies in the university environment. The results obtained reveal both significant progress and persistent challenges in the promotion of an equitable and accessible education. Although a favorable regulatory framework and a partial recognition of inclusive values ​​have been identified, it is evident that the effective implementation of these policies is hindered by limitations in infrastructure and the need for further teacher formation. Therefore, it is concluded that it is important for the entire university community to adopt action plans, taking into account that inclusion is not a single objective to be achieved, but a continuous process that demands the collaboration of all the actors involved, allowing progress towards a future where each student, without any excuse, will have the opportunity to develop their potential in a truly inclusive educational environment.</p> Maria Elena Torres Torres Gladys Patricia Bonilla-González Copyright (c) 2025 Revista Científica y Arbitrada de Ciencias Sociales y Trabajo Social: Tejedora.

This research has a mixed approach, combining qualitative and quantitative methods to analyze the relationship between family dialogue and students' knowledge on sexuality issues. The population consisted of 38 students from the Cicalpa Educational Unit, for which surveys were conducted with the students. It was observed that dialogue at home is limited, especially on issues related to sexuality, which affects the comprehensive development of young people. It is concluded that, although some parents try to talk about the subject, the lack of confidence and knowledge on how to approach it creates a barrier that limits students' understanding of sexuality, highlighting the need to strengthen both family dialogue and teacher training in this area to improve the educational process.</em></p> Ruth Alexandra Chugñay Lentifuela Johana Katerine Montoya Lunavictoria Aída Cecilia Quishpe Salcán Copyright (c) 2025 Revista Científica y Arbitrada de Ciencias Sociales y Trabajo Social: Tejedora.

The population consisted of upper Basic Education teachers from a rural institution in the Sicalpa Parish, Colta Canton, with a purposive non-probabilistic sample. The data collection technique used was a survey, with a structured questionnaire based on the Likert scale as an instrument. The results show a division of opinions among teachers, highlighting the fragility of the dialogue established with students. It is concluded that there is inefficiency in the preparation of teachers regarding comprehensive sexual education; although most have basic knowledge on the subject and occasionally address topics such as sexuality and teenage pregnancy, students rarely seek information on these issues, reflecting the lack of trust in the teacher-student relationship within this context</em></p> Jenny Patricia Pilco Chávez Johana Katerine Montoya Lunavictoria Hugo Marcelo Campos-Yedra Copyright (c) 2025 Revista Científica y Arbitrada de Ciencias Sociales y Trabajo Social: Tejedora.

A qualitative methodology was used, based on document review and case analysis of schools with inclusion experiences. Regulatory documents, previous studies, and teacher-student experiences were analyzed. Results show that lack of resources, insufficient teacher training, and resistance to change hinder inclusion. However, strategies such as curricular adaptation, community awareness, and continuous teacher training have shown positive results in improving access and retention for students with diverse educational needs. It is concluded that implementing inclusive policies is essential to guarantee the right to education and promote a more equitable society.
