Introduction During the last century, the inclusion of all kinds of diversity became a social imperative in all social spaces but above all in some institutions such as the educational ones. Among these, inclusion has been least studied in the tertiary education organizations. This communication proposes and evaluates the psychometric properties of a new instrument, named Inclusive Management in Tertiary Institutions Scale (IMTIS), to assess inclusive management in universities. Method The researchers used a quantitative research model through survey. We based on the Index for Inclusion to design the IMTIS. We first submitted it to the assessment of experts. Then we applied the resulting version in an online survey including a sample of 1557 students from two universities and 121 different undergraduate careers. A panel of experts judged the content validity of the instrument. Participants answered the IMTIS after informed consent. We used confirmatory factor analysis to assess the construct validity of the instrument. We also evaluated the reliability of the measurements. Results From a kit of 33 originally proposed items, we obtained a version of 22 items with CVR between 0.60 and 1.00, and a IVC = 0.78. The confirmatory factor analysis showed that the six-factor solution had a better adjustment than the one and three factors solutions (RMSEA = 0.059; CFI = 0.947; TLI = 0.937). The McDonald ω coefficients were between 0.864 and 0.922. Conclusion The results deliver evidence that supports the validity and reliability of the IMTIS measurements to carry out research and diagnosis of inclusive management in higher education institutions.

Para conocer el avance de la implementación de la educación inclusiva, es necesario considerar la perspectiva del alumnado mediante instrumentos válidos y confiables. El objetivo del trabajo fue determinar las propiedades psicométricas de la Guía de Evaluación de las Prácticas Inclusivas en el Aula para Estudiantes (GEPIA-E), la cual se aplicó a 213 estudiantes de una escuela Normal de México y se buscó evaluar las prácticas inclusivas de su plantilla docente. Se estimó la confiabilidad con el alfa de Cronbach y la validez mediante un análisis factorial exploratorio. Se encontró que este instrumento es altamente confiable (?=0,93) y válido; se obtuvieron seis factores que explican el 60,61 % de la varianza acumulada, aunque se necesita confirmar sus categorías. Se encontró que las personas estudiantes consideran que sus docentes implementan altas prácticas inclusivas en la promoción de respeto y aceptación entre el estudiantado y de estrategias metodológicas, aunque pueden mejorar su manejo de los recursos en el aula y en la promoción del trabajo grupal. Se concluye que la GEPIA-E puede ser útil para que el alumnado evalúe las prácticas inclusivas del profesorado, pero se necesitan más estudios para sustentar teórica y estadísticamente las categorías encontradas.
El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar la percepción de la inclusión educativa en sus dimensiones de políticas, prácticas y cultura de los directivos, docentes y asistentes de la educación, considerando las variables rol y género, en centros educativos de nivel secundario de la octava región del Biobío de Chile. La metodología es cuantitativa de carácter descriptivo, con un diseño no experimental transaccional, la muestra está compuesta de 346 profesionales. Los resultados generales arrojan una percepción muy favorable hacia la dimensión prácticas inclusivas, tanto en la variable rol los directivos y en género las mujeres.
