Preliminary Studies on Inclusive Education in Higher Education Institutions: Case UV

Abstract

Inclusive education at the higher education level presents a series of challenges that teachers must overcome to contribute to the learning process of all students. This article analyzes the teachers' perspective on inclusive education in Higher Education Institutions, based on a study conducted with a sample of teachers from the Faculty of Accounting and Administration, Xalapa campus, of the Universidad Veracruzana. It highlights that one of the fundamental problems is the lack of knowledge and teacher training in the field of inclusive education, which complicates the adoption of inclusive practices in the classroom. Additionally, there is a noted deficiency in infrastructure and budget specifically directed towards this purpose, further contributing to the difficulty of creating an inclusive environment. Under this premise, it was found that the teachers' perspective relates to concepts such as equality, equity, and discrimination.
