Respuesta educativa a la diversidad desde la perspectiva del profesorado de la ESO : estudio en la Comunidad Autónoma de La Rioja

Abstract

The diversity of Secondary Education students is one of the most evident and at the same time richest and most complex realities in Secondary schools. Besides institutions and other governing organs, it is every teacher’s responsibility –and one that cannot be neglected– to cater for all students’ educational needs. It is the aim of this paper to analyze how teachers perceive such diversity with all its implications, and what difficulties and support theyfind in this commitment, as well as the kind of training they have received in this respect. This is a broad aim that would require lenghthy and detailed treatment. Here we will just offer a very brief overview that discusses the results of work based on a field study that has been carried out in the Autonomous Community of La Rioja. The research methodology makes use of a survey and questionnaire developed as a valid and reliable ‘ad hoc’ instrument. All Secondary Education professionals were used as empirical subjects and the resulting data were put under statistical analysis. Some relevant conclusions are extracted and presented herein.
