Resumen

Los objetivos del estudio fueron analizar la percepción de las dificultades, adaptaciones curriculares, formación y actitud del profesorado universitario acerca de la educación inclusiva y analizar las diferencias de la percepción en función de los años de experiencia en docencia universitaria y de los años de experiencia con alumnado con discapacidad. Se presenta un estudio descriptivo-comparativo, en el cual participaron 100 docentes universitarios del área de la Actividad Física y Deporte y de la Educación Física, que respondieron al cuestionario “La percepción de dificultades del profesorado para la inclusión educativa (DPIE)”. Para obtener los resultados del estudio se utilizó los siguientes análisis estadísticos: Alpha de Cronbach, análisis descriptivo (media, desviación típica, porcentajes y frecuencias), U de Mann-Whitney, la probabilidad de la superioridad (PS) y el estadístico Chi2. Los resultados muestran que los docentes perciben de una manera adecuada la educación inclusiva. Sin embargo, una gran parte de ellos y ellas (70%) ve necesario aumentar su formación en esta temática. Además, el profesorado con mayor experiencia docente mostró una mejor disposición a favor de la educación inclusiva (p < .01), afirmando que el alumnado con discapacidad no altera el ritmo de la clase y que por tanto tampoco perjudica al resto de estudiantes. Por otro lado, los docentes con mayor experiencia con alumnado con discapacidad se perciben mejor preparados y con mejores percepciones (p < .05) hacia la educación inclusiva que los docentes sin o con menor experiencia con alumnado con discapacidad.
