La educación inclusiva: formación docente para nivel inicial y preparatoria

Abstract

This monographic study focuses on teacher training in inclusive education at the preschool and kindergarten levels, emphasizing its importance for teaching students with diverse needs. The aim of this research was to analyze how teachers are trained in inclusive education at these educational levels. To achieve this objective, a qualitative approach through documentary research with both descriptive and explanatory scopes was employed. This methodology allowed for an examination of how preschool and high school teachers are trained in inclusive education within both international and national contexts. An analysis of systematically compiled literature was conducted, linking the categories of teacher training and inclusive education. The conclusions of this study highlight that teachers are crucial and influential in the mediation of teaching; Therefore, adequate training will contribute to better inclusion of learners, providing quality education that addresses the specific educational needs of all students. Finally, it is essential that teacher training programs integrate inclusion as a cross-cutting theme rather than as isolated subjects. This approach is crucial for trainers at the early childhood and preparatory levels to ensure the holistic development of children.
