The learning of students with intellectual disabilities in Higher Education
Keywords:
intellectual disability; university education; inclusion; bibliometric analysisAbstract
Introduction: The objective of the research is to analyze the intellectual disability construct, its characteristics and pedagogical strategies that teachers must use in the teaching-learning processes, according to the characteristics of the students.
Materials and methods: The focus of the study is qualitative, with a non-experimental design and an exploratory scope. A documentary review was carried out through the use of the Prisma methodology, which made it possible to analyze the phenomenon under study and draw conclusions.
Results: The results obtained allow us to affirm that intellectual disability demands mastery of knowledge, methodologies, didactic strategies and the use of Information and Communication Technologies to promote a satisfactory insertion of students in the university context.
Discussion: Higher education institutions must implement study programs and methodologies to strengthen the professional skills of students with intellectual disabilities, ensuring a quality inclusion approach that responds to the individual and group needs of the student body.
Conclusions: Today's society requires highly trained teachers to serve students with intellectual disabilities, who promote good inclusion practices through innovative proposals, which allow promoting their development and comprehensive training in higher education.
