Percepciones de jóvenes acerca de la inclusión de personas en situación de discapacidad en contexto universitario: un estudio de caso Artículos uri icon

Resumen

  • People with disabilities face multiple obstacles in the educational context, with diverse implications for their development. Thus, it is estimated that 17.6% of the population over 18 years of age has a disability (Ministry of Social Development, 2022). Therefore, the study aimed to understand the perceptions of emerging adults regarding the inclusion of people with disabilities (PwD) in the university environment. Methodologically, the study was conducted using a qualitative approach, adopting an exploratory, cross-sectional, and non-experimental design. A non-probability convenience sample was used, consisting of 20 young people (13 women and 7 men), with an average age of 23.5 years, belonging to a private university in Temuco (Chile). Data collection was conducted through semi-structured interviews, whose stories were analyzed using content analysis with the support of ATLAS.ti version 9.4.4 software. The participants recognize that the inclusion of people with disabilities in the university setting requires a comprehensive approach beyond legal-welfare approaches. This is influenced by economic, social, and historical-cultural factors that implicitly contribute to the victimization and dependence of this group, limiting the recognition of their abilities, talents, and development possibilities. The need for inclusive, cross-curricular training in the university setting is discussed, fostering participation and recognizing diversity beyond the limits defined by academic space and time.
