Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate teacher perceptions on the training received in intercultural education. Methods: The article presents a quantitative, non- experimental and ex-post-facto type of research; directed to inquire about the perceptions of the teachers of primary education in Andalusia (Spain) in relation to the intercultural training received. Based on the descriptive survey method, two questionnaires were administered to a sample composed of 320 students and 80 teachers. Results: The results show certain strengths of the training teacher programs in the field of interculturality (encouragement of reflection, participation and collaboration …), as well as weaknesses (decontextualization, inflexibility, primacy of theoretical learning, non-transversal character, etc.). Conclusions: Despite strengths, intercultural teacher training continues to be a challenge in Andalusia.

The educational response to students with specific needs for educational support associated with disability could not be understood within the current educational landscape without addressing how Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is used within those responses. ICT support is not a matter of fashion or one-off use due to the current circumstances brought about by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Programmes and materials are already being developed to enable such application. Even from the Universal Learning Design approaches, it is precisely the use of technologies in learning processes, with special emphasis on educational inclusion processes, which are a key focus. This study deals with the perception that teachers have of this use of ICT with students with disabilities: How are the resources available to them and how good is their training in this respect? To do this, a section of a questionnaire was used, which forms part of the R + D + I project awarded under a national call in Spain, and which in one of its categories precisely focuses attention on this use of ICT. In turn, this category, according to the confirmatory factor analysis carried out, is subdivided into three subcategories: didactic use, spaces and resources, and finally teacher training. We are also interested in knowing if there are differences of opinion between population groups grouped according to sex, ownership of the education centre and location of the centre (urban, or rural). The results indicate that although there is good use and good preparation of teachers, the level of resources is low and teacher training needs to be reinforced.

En este estudio se analiza la inclusión del estilo de aprendizaje a través del uso del espacio virtual en Internet en estudiantes de 1º a 4º de Educación Secundaria de Madrid. En él se muestra la preferencia del uso de los cuatro estilos de aprendizaje: uso participativo, de búsqueda e investigación, de estructuración y planeamiento, concreto y de producción en el espacio virtual. El estudio se ha realizado con una muestra de 232 alumnos de la etapa de educación secundaria con edades comprendidas entre 12-15 años. El instrumento utilizado para la recogida de datos se ha realizado mediante cuestionario “Estilo del uso del espacio virtual” de Barros y otros (2008), el Alpha de Cronbach (0,77). En análisis de los datos se presentan desde dos perspectivas: la primera de forma global atendiendo como factores relevantes la edad y género de los estudiantes y su influencia entre la selección en los estilos de uso del espacio virtual y un segundo análisis en el que se analizan los cuatro tipos de estilos por bloques reflejando las preferencias de los alumnos.

Los jóvenes adolescentes se encuentran inmersos en las redes sociales a través de sus dispositivos móviles. El objetivo de la investigación se centra en analizar la percepción de actitudes nocivas entre los jóvenes adolescentes en las redes sociales. Para ello, se han seleccionado una muestra de 202 estudiantes del nivel educativo de secundaria obligatoria a quienes se les ha aplicado un cuestionario mixto (alfa 0.78) del que se ha seleccionado las unidades de información cualitativa de la narrativa de los informantes claves. Los resultados muestran que los estudiantes han percibido agresiones a través de insultos y amenazas por compartir archivos fotográficos (46.03 %) en las principales redes sociales como son Instagram (61.4 %) y WhatsApp (26.2 %). Estas agresiones que sufren los estudiantes se pueden solventar si se desarrolla una formación en la inclusión digital desde edades tempranas. Esto permitirá un uso adecuado de los dispositivos móviles y una comunicación e intercambio de información en las redes sociales desde actitudes positivas. Se requiere una inclusión digital de los estudiantes para el uso crítico de los archivos que comparten a través de las redes sociales.  The teenagers are immersed in social networks through their mobile devices. The objective of the research focuses on analyzing the perception of harmful attitudes among young adolescents in social networks. To do this, a sample of 202 students of compulsory secondary education level have been selected, to whom a mixed questionnaire (alpha 0.78) has been applied, from which the qualitative information units of the narrative of the key informants have been selected. The results show that students have perceived aggressions through insults and threats by sharing photographic files (46.03 %) in the main social networks such as Instagram (61.4 %) and WhatsApp (26.2 %). These aggressions suffered by students can be solved if a training in digital inclusion is developed from an early age. This will allow an adequate use of mobile devices and a communication and exchange of information in social networks from positive attitudes. It requires a digital inclusion of students for the critical use of the files they share through social networks. 

Inclusive education is an issue of great interest and social and pedagogical significance in the quality of the education system. Its impact on the context, reality and training of teachers is a decisive impulse to build an open mind in relation to diversity as a characteristic element of education and today’s society. The objective of this study was to explore the perceptions of compulsory education teachers (primary and secondary) about teacher training, resources, and after-school activities in the care of students with specific educational support needs associated with disability in 12 Autonomous Communities of Spain. A survey has been carried out, for which an ad hoc questionnaire was built, involving 2457 docents. A descriptive and inferential analysis has been carried out by means of an average comparison between each issue and the different intrapersonal factors. Specifically, two types of tests have been used, using the SPSS version 25 program for analysis: testing independent samples (Levene test and t-test for equal means) and one-way ANOVA according to the type of independent variable considered. Among the results is the need to increase teacher training in inclusive education, the existence of divergences on the material, and spatial resources available for diversity care. Similarly, the relevance of after-school activities was identified as initiatives and spaces for the visibility of diversity and culture of inclusion in schools.
