Abstract

This research was aimed at exploring and describing the perception of Graphic Design students at the University of Guayaquil in relation to the actions implemented by the institution to address the diversity of its students using resources of the Index for Inclusion (Booth, Rueda, Sandoval, Echeita and Muñóz, 2015). A quantitative exploratory-descriptive not experimental, transactional, field research scope was carried out with a sample of 301 students of the Graphic Design career. The data collection was conducted using questionnaires: Indicators Adapted for Inclusion (students and family) (Booth et al, 2015.) and Index for Inclusion Questionnaire (MEN, 2008). The results show that the perception of students towards educational inclusion in Graphic Design career are unfavorable. Nevertheless, most scores are on the borderline between favorable and unfavorable. Furthermore, the calculation of Index for Inclusion indicates that policies are formulated and some inclusive actions are developed disjointedly on the institutional management to address diversity, these measures are mostly unknown by the educational community.
