| Summary: |
Inclusion and equity have been one of the priority topics of education systems throughout the world to address the diversity of students, including people with disabilities. This report is part of a larger project which purpose is to generate a theorical construction from the perspective of disabled subjects, using strategies of grounded theory in which narrative techniques, such as observation and interviews, play a central role. What is reported here is just a first approach to explore the topics and techniques to be considered by the project at large. Observations and interviews were carried out around the school experience of a disabled student in a higher education institution of the northeast of Mexico, having as a result the identification of particular barriers for educational inclusion. It is concluded that there is an area of opportunity in question of inclusion and educational equity in higher education institutions in Mexico, mainly in the physical infrastructure, the curriculum and teacher training. |
