Recommendations about inclusive pedagogy for Spanish faculty members in the area of Social and Legal Sciences

Doménech, Ana; Orozco Almario, Inmaculada Concepción; López Gavira, María Rosario

Abstract

This paper provides a useful guide of recommendations drawn from the experiences described by 25 Spanish inclusive faculty members of the area of Social and Legal Sciences. We used a qual- itative methodology and data was gathered using interviews. The action guidelines and recom- mendations obtained are based on the implementation of an inclusive pedagogy that prioritises the participation and success of all students. The results are divided into six categories: faculty- student relationship, resources, methodology, reasonable adjustments, mentoring and evalua- tion. Lastly, this study shows that the teaching strategies that promote inclusion do not only benefit students with disabilities, but have a general positive effect on all students

Las ly, his s udy shows ha he eaching s a egies ha p omo e inclusion do no only bene i s uden s wi h disabili ies bu ha e a gene al posi i e e ec on all s uden s. Keywo ds: Recommenda ions; Facul y membe s; Inclusi e pedagogy; S uden s wi h disabili ies Social and legal sciences In oduc ion Uni e si ies a e essen ial spaces o imp o ing he quali y o li e o people, inc ease employmen oppo uni ies and con ibu e o he s uggle agains social exclusion (De Cle c, 2 Galand & F enay, 2020; Lipka, Khou i & Schec e -Le ne , 2020). Thus, in o de o be inclusi e, uni e si ies mus p omo e social inclusion and p e en eli ism, as i educes hei quali y as highe educa ion ins i u ions (Is ael e al., 2017). In he academic yea 2019–2020, he e we e 19,919 s uden s wi h some ype o disabili y egis e ed a Spanish uni e si ies, o whom 8582 (app oxima ely 43%) belonged o he a ea o Social and Legal Sciences (Uni e sia Founda ion, 2021). These da a show ha he e is an inc easing numbe o s uden s wi h disabili ies who decide o unde ake uni e si y s udies. Howe e , hei p esence in he uni e si y does no en ail ull inclusion (Mo iña & O ozco, 2021), as is shown by he es imonies o hese s uden s on he deg ee o inclusion in Spanish uni e si ies. Acco ding o a s udy o he Uni e sia Funda ion (2021), a conside able pe cen age o uni e si y s uden s wi h disabili ies asse ed ha hey el disc imina ed a some poin h oughou hei uni e si y jou ney. The main easons highligh ed by hem we e ela ed o he a i ude o he acul y (dis espec , lack o a en ion o hei needs, bad a i ude, e c.) (38.2%) o accessibili y p oblems, such as a chi ec u al ba ie s, no adap ed exams, lack o cu icula adap a ion, e c. (37.9%). In his sense, he s udies o Ca ballo, Agui e, & Lopez-Ga i a (2021), Hewe , Douglas, McLinden and Keil (2017), Osbo ne (2019) and S endby (2020) also indica e ha s uden s wi h disabili ies do no eel welcome because he acul y has no ecei ed ins i u ional aining o guidance on how o adap hei p ac ices wi h he aim o achie ing inclusi e lea ning expe iences. In many cases, he esponse hey ecei e om hei acul y is a di e en ea men , ending o c ea e unpleasan and excluding si ua ions (Asikainen, Bloms e & Vi anen, 2018; Spassiani e al., 2017; Ve guns & Swa z, 2021). Some o such si ua ions de i e no only om he lack o acul y aining on how o a end o s uden s wi h disabili ies, bu also om he acul y’s lack o p edisposi ion o lea n mo e abou he needs and igh s o each s uden (Shpigelman, Mo , Sachs & Sch eue , 2021). The e o e, i can be asse ed ha acul y aining is an elemen ha a ou s inclusion, al hough i is no a undamen al equi emen o he capaci y o a acul y membe o de elop inclusi e p ac ices a he uni e si y (Ca ballo e al., 2021). Consequen ly, o achie e he educa ional inclusion o s uden s wi h disabili ies in he class ooms, i is no su icien o use di e en inclusi e me hodological s a egies; i is also necessa y o de elop adequa e a ec i e and emo ional skills (Keza & Maxey, 2014; Mo iña, 2020; Pos a e , Ma sson, Lindblom-Ylanne & Hailika i, 2017). In ac , p omo ing a s ong ela ionship be ween acul y membe s and s uden s, and os e ing he pa icipa ion o e e y 3 s uden in he class oom is a undamen al ou e (Juma, Leh omaki ¨ & Naukka inen, 2017). F om his pe spec i e, suppo ing he pa icipa ion and success o all s uden s is no jus an op ion, bu a ma e o esponsibili y and social jus ice (Gibson, 2015; Liasidou, 2014; Pe ez-Ca bonell, Ramos-San ana ´ & Ma ínez-Usa alde, 2021). Unde he poin o iew o social jus ice, he acul y membe is a key playe , since his/he a i udes, skills and knowledge can a ou he cons uc ion o inclusi e lea ning con ex s o all s uden s (Inda-Ca o e al., 2018). Di e en s udies (Ca ballo e al., 2021; Hockings, 2011; Naz & Mu ad, 2017) show ha one o he essen ial aspec s o he inclusion o s uden s wi h disabili ies is ela ed o a mo e humane and a ec i e lea ning app oach. The men ioned s udies epo ha acul y membe s who do ca y ou inclusi e p ac ices in he uni e si y conside a close ela ionship wi h hei s uden s as undamen al. Simila ly, i is necessa y o be eage o help, o apply common sense, o ha e a luid and open communica ion, and o show conce n o he well-being and lea ning o he s uden s (Ehlinge & Rope s, 2020). In his sense, ollowing Po ee (2002) and Falou , Elwood and Hood (2009), an accessible and iendly a i ude owa d he s uden s has a posi i e in luence on hei in ol emen and lea ning. P e ious s udies ha e de ec ed ha inclusi e acul y conside i necessa y o c ea e a class oom clima e based on espec , which gua an ees ha s uden s eel con iden in he class oom and willing o pa icipa e and ask o help (Mo iña, 2020). Addi ionally, i is unques ionable ha an open clima e alues di e si y, and i s possibili ies bene i all s uden s, no only hose wi h disabili ies (Dangoisse, De Cle cq, Van Meenen, Cha ie & Nils, 2020). Some p omising s udies (Gale, Mills & C oss, 2017) show p ac ices o inclusi e acul y who usually de elop ac i e and pa icipa o y s a egies ha bene i all hei s uden s. These p ac ical s a egies a e based on wo king wi h he s uden s, ins ead o ac ing on hem, and hey can se e as an example o o he acul y membe s (Ca ballo e al., 2021; Mo iña, 2020; Pe ez-Ca bonell e al., 2021). S udies ocused on he oice o s uden s wi h disabili ies (G i ul-F eixene , S uy en, Ve s ichele & And ies, 2017; Mo gado, Mo iña & Lopez-Ga i a, 2017; Rod íguez, Izuzquiza & Cab e a, 2021) indica e ha one o he main ba ie s ha hese s uden s de ec a uni e si y a e ela ed o inadequa e eaching p ac ices. Speci ically, many o hem e e o he use o echnological esou ces and igid, poo ly mo i a ing me hodologies wi h no p ac ical applica ion 4 in he p o essional scope (Babic & Dowling, 2015; Mo gado e al., 2017; Rod íguez e al., 2021). In mos cases, his is accompanied by a lack o easonable adjus men s o e ed by he acul y and he li le help ha s uden s ecei e om he disabili y suppo se ices o hei uni e si ies (Hewe e al., 2017; Kim & C owley, 2021; Shpigelman e al., 2021). Howe e , while he acul y can be a ba ie , hey can also p o ide decisi e help o p e en s uden s om d opping ou o he uni e si y and gua an ee hei academic success (Couzens e al., 2015; Lomba di, Mu ay & Kowi , 2016; S ein, 2014). To his end, i is ecommended ha acul y membe s use pa icipa o y and inclusi e me hodological s a egies based on a s uden -cen ed app oach (Cunningham, 2013; Mo iña, 2020; Thomas, 2016). Likewise, i is c ucial ha hey e- hink hei e alua ion me hods and o e di e en ways in which hei s uden s can show wha hey ha e lea n (Nieminen, 2022). In his sense, o o e come he ba ie s encoun e ed by s uden s wi h disabili ies, Uni e sal Design o Lea ning (UDL) o e s adequa e eaching s a egies o make easonable adjus men s in a p oac i e manne . Mo eo e , his amewo k conside s ha he adap a ions in he design o he subjec s bene i no only s uden s wi h disabili ies, bu all s uden s (Bunbu y, 2018; G i ul- F eixene e al., 2017). These s udies, as well as hose o Osbo ne (2019) and Yuso , Chong, Hilma, Zailly and Ma (2020), u he show ha s uden s wi h disabili ies ha e a posi i e opinion abou inclusi e e alua ion sys ems and con inuous e alua ions wi h al e na i e es modali ies, such as eedback, coope a i e lea ning and g oup discussions. Rega ding he oice o he acul y, he e a e ele an s udies abou he ac ions o acul y membe s who con ibu e o he inclusion o s uden s. In his line, he esul s o Sando al, Mo gado, and Doménech (2021) highligh ha hese acul y usually ca e abou he design o an accessible space, p o ide eaching ma e ials in ad ance, eso o pee suppo and ca y ou exams wi h easonable adjus men s (changes o spaces, mo e ime, o al exams…, e c.). Speci ically o he a ea o Social and Legal Sciences, Ca ballo e al. (2021) poin ou he ele ance o ca ying ou such adap a ions, es ablishing a good men o ing sys em, coo dina ing wi h he disabili y se ice and exchanging opinions wi h o he colleagues. Simila ly, he men ioned au ho s s a e ha ac i e and pa icipa o y eaching me hods a e he mos e ec i e and bene icial, and hey also unde line he need o a solid ins i u ional suppo and con inuous e alua ion. Howe e , he access o inclusi e eaching in he a ea o Social and Legal Sciences con inues o be a pending issue (Wells 5 & Komme s, 2020). Conce ns pe sis abou how o make adjus men s and ain s uden s wi h disabili ies o hei ansi ion o he p o essional wo ld (Ande son & Wylie, 2008). The e a e ew s udies aiming a o e ing use ul ecommenda ions and mechanisms o he acul y o his a ea ha help hem o implemen inclusi e s a egies. Fu he mo e, a la ge numbe o s udies ocus on he de ec ion o ba ie s o s uden s wi h disabili ies om he pe spec i e o andomly selec ed acul y membe s (Johnma k, O obia, Munene & Balunywa, 2017; Manley & De G a -Johnson, 2013; Wells & Komme s, 2020). In he same ein, he s udy o Bunbu y (2018 on he oice o acul y membe s o Legal Sciences in he UK highligh s he need o use a non- adi ional and a ied me hodology ha welcomes all lea ning s yles, a lexible and al e na i e e alua ion based on deba es, and he use o easonable adjus men s. Mo eo e , he s udy o Lo enzo-Lledo, Lo enzo, Lledó and Pé ez-Vazquez (2020) quan i a i ely analysed he ou look o Spanish acul y membe s o di e en a eas o knowledge (including Social and Legal Sciences) abou inclusi e eaching me hodologies o s uden s wi h disabili ies. Some o hei esul s indica ed ha acul y applied di e en s a egies o p omo e inclusion. Ne e heless, hey ecognised ha i is undamen al o make classes lexible and ca y ou con inuous men o ing o suppo lea ning. Thus, we aim o ill his gap in he li e a u e abou he inclusion o s uden s wi h disabili ies in he a ea o Social and Legal Sciences. Speci ically, ou aim was o explo e, unde s and and desc ibe adequa e guidelines and ecommenda ions o become an inclusi e acul y membe s in his a ea o knowledge. Unlike o he s udies (Johnma k e al., 2017; Manley & De G a -Johnson, 2013; Wells & Komme s, 2020), he p esen s udy is ocused on inclusi e acul y, as i has been demons a ed ha hei a i udes, p ac ices, easonable adjus men s and suppo a e ac o s ha acili a e he academic success o s uden s wi h disabili ies (Gale e al., 2017; O’By ne, Jagoe & Lawle , 2019; S nado á, Hájko á, & K ě oňo á, 2015). To sum up, al hough i is impo an o ecognise he ole o aining on ma e s o disabili y in he a en ion o s uden s (Cunningham, 2013), he aim o his pape is o o e a use ul and p ac ical ool o ensu e ha he acul y o his a ea o knowledge, despi e a lack o pedagogical o disabili y aining (Ca ballo e al., 2021), ecei e a se o speci ic ac ion guidelines o a ain he inclusion o hei s uden s. To his end, we p oposed he ollowing esea ch ques ion: Wha does an inclusi e acul y membe do o ensu e ha his/he s uden s wi h disabili ies can lea n, pa icipa e and succeed in his/he subjec ? 6 Me hod This s udy is pa o a la ge esea ch p ojec conduc ed by an in e disciplina y eam and unded by he Spanish Minis y o Economy and Compe i i eness en i led “Inclusi e Pedagogy a he Uni e si y: Facul y Na a i es’ (Minis y o Economy and Compe i i eness o Spain, EDU2016- 76587-R)”. This is a quali a i e esea ch ha analyses which acul y membe s o di e en disciplines (A s and Humani ies, STEM, Heal h Sciences, Social and Legal Science) p ac ice inclusi e pedagogy and how and why hey do so.

To gua an ee he ap i ude o he inclusi e acul y, he s uden s wi h disabili ies we e gi en a lis o cha ac e is ics ha should be ound in he acul y membe (s) hey selec ed: he/she acili a es he lea ning p ocess; p omo es an ac i e lea ning; uses a a ie y o me hodologies; ca es abou he lea ning o all s uden s; is lexible and helps when a s uden needs i ; mo i a es his/he s uden s; a ains g oup pa icipa ion and lea ning; and makes e e y s uden eel impo an . Addi ionally, he snowball echnique was used (Cohen, Manion & Mo ison, 2000). In his sense, he s uden s wi h disabili ies ha we e p e iously known o he esea ch eam we e asked o collabo a e.
