El debate sobre el uso del lenguaje inclusivo no es nuevo en países como España e Italia, pero su repercusión se ha visto multiplicada en los últimos años por las redes sociales y los medios de comunicación. Esta investigación pretende analizar las actitudes del alumnado universitario ante el lenguaje igualitario y ante el debate público sobre su uso. Para ello se ha llevado a cabo un estudio transeccional descriptivo con modelo mixto a través de cuatro instrumentos: cuestionario, foro, actividades y grupo de discusión. La muestra ha estado compuesta por estudiantes (N=242) de dos universidades de España e Italia y de cinco titulaciones. Entre las conclusiones obtenidas destaca el amplio grado de aceptación del lenguaje inclusivo por parte del alumnado universitario, así como su convicción de que el debate reflejado en los medios de comunicación puede beneficiar a la sociedad en su camino hacia una mayor igualdad
The Challenge Nowadays, it is usual to find students with special educational needs in almost every classroom. Are foreign language teachers ready to teach them? This article provides a newly developed scale to measure their perception of inclusive education, focusing on three dimensions: training, conception of diversity, and support.
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) emerged in the early 90s as a new paradigm to ensure equity and quality across education. Its origins were due to the increasing need to reduce barriers which are often caused unintentionally and impede learning. Some of these barriers are caused by learning environments, which exert considerable influence on brain development and, therefore, on learning. In this respect, individual-context interactions and the relationship between affect and cognition can benefit the activation of affective networks and their responses to stimuli, which are essential for our engagement in the learning process. Their effective stimulus and the correct application of UDL principles can reduce barriers and help learners acquire reading skills in a foreign language.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
