Abstract

Recognition of human diversity and educational value, has meant that teachers in regular classrooms will receive preparation for creating inclusive learning spaces. Following these trends, the National Pedagogical University Francisco Morazán included in its recent reform to the study programs, teaching skills linked to attention to diversity and inclusion.

In this research, the perceptions of UPNFM pre service teachers related to the theoretical and methodological principles of the Attention to Diversity were analyzed, the training received at the University in these areas, and finally, the competences that are considered important to develop an inclusive education. In addition, a comparison of these perceptions by field of study and membership of an ethnic group was held. The study is quantitative, not experimental and cross-sectional, 470 students from the Professional Practicum II participated.
