University teaching staff and inclusive education: responding to their training needs

Abstract

This article presents the results of a research whose objective was to design, develop and evaluate a training program on inclusive education and disability aimed at university teaching staff. Through the use of a qualitative methodology, the evaluation was carried out in three moments: an initial evaluation of the training needs of the participants; a process evaluation during the development of the program; and a final evaluation of the results once the training is completed. The instruments used for the data collection were the semi-structured individual and group interview, the open questionnaire and the observation. This work offers a vision about the main training needs of the 20 participants and how the program responds to them, exposing the most relevant learning acquired by the teachers and contrasting them with the starting situation. Finally, the conclusions show a discussion of the results of other previous investigations.
