Comunicación para la Educación Inclusiva e Intercultural en la Facultad de Comunicación Social de la Universidad Santo Tomás

Abstract

The research work, in the monograph modality, focuses on exploring the processes of communication, promotion and appropriation of the institutional policies of inclusive and intercultural education in the Faculty of Social Communication of the Santo Tomás University, specifically among administrative staff, teachers and students. The research analyzes the ways in which these policies are communicated and promoted within the faculty, as well as the incorporations and applications in educational practice. Methodologically, interviews were carried out where the focus was on deepening the promotion of inclusive practices in the educational community of the Santo Tomás University, specifically in the Faculty of Social Communication. The organizational structure of the university's organizational chart and the selection of teachers and students are used to collect information through semi-structured interviews and analysis of inclusive education policies. First semester students were excluded due to their lack of experience in the research topic. Among the findings, the main conclusion stands out is that managers, teachers and students state that their knowledge about the existence of inclusive education policies at the university, although their knowledge tends to be superficial. This is partly because the university does not address these issues in depth on a regular basis, which can result in lower interest, since most of those who are informed about these policies are immersed in groups research or areas that focus on inclusive and intercultural education issues.
