Abstract

The National University of Education UNAE is a public university in Ecuador, dedicated to the training of professionals in the field of education with an impact on the transformation of the educational quality of the country and region. Therefore, the objective was to analyze the inclusive and intercultural processes that occur in an academic cycle of the Basic Education career offered by UNAE. As a research question: How do the components of inclusion and interculturality affect the training of education professionals at UNAE? The paradigm was based on socio-criticism from the questions that human beings are diverse in their individual and social aspects. Regarding the approach, we worked with a mixed approach that combined quantitative and qualitative aspects, from the identification of data, its processing, tabulation to the interpretation of the results. The method used was action research that contributed with a sequence of phases to determine the incidence of inclusion and interculturality in teacher training. Observation and survey techniques contributed to the precision of various realities. The results indicate that inclusive and intercultural processes are promoted at UNAE; However, they must be extended to the entire academic community in such a way that they contribute to a fair and equitable society. In conclusion, it is highlighted that inclusion and interculturality are essential and transversal components in the theory and practice of teacher training.
