Inclusive pedagogy in Health Sciences Spanish faculties: Educational resources and methodologies for all students

Description

This article presents the educational practices carried out by Spanish faculty members of Health Sciences to attend to student diversity. A total of 19 faculty members of this area of knowledge suggested by their disabled students participated in the study. Following a qualitative methodology, individual semi-structured interviews were used for the gathering of data. The collected data were analysed through an inductive system of categories and codes. The results show the learning resources that the participants employed to allow all students to make use of them, as well as the teaching methods and strategies that they applied to achieve the active participation and learning of every student. Moreover, the participants commented on the reasonable adjustments that they made when they had a disabled student in their classrooms. Finally, the results were compared to those of other analogous studies, highlighting the keys that could help other faculty members to develop more inclusive practices.
