Ikasleen ahotsak: guztiontzako eskola eraikitzeko gakoa

Abstract

Inclusive education, a philosophy which advocates ensuring quality and equity for all children has become a driving force in the education movement due to diversity inside school rooms. This article presents the process and results of a research project that endeavours to contribute to the promotion of inclusive educational processes by collecting the voices of protagonists, until now si- lenced in the system. The aim was to involve the participation of all the students of a primary school in Gipuzkoa to know the feelings and experiences they have in school from an inclusive perspective. For those purpose questionnaires, special techniques for giving a voice to students and focus groups have been used as data collection tools. The results of the study indicate that the students as a whole, con- tribute interesting ideas related to the culture, practice and politics of the school and identify obstacles concerning participation and learning processes. This study confirms the need to listen to the voices of the protagonists to design measures and strategies that facilitate school life, participation and learn- ing processes.
