Educational attention to primary schoolchildren included from physical education

Abstract

One of the great challenges of Cuban education in current times is undoubtedly social inclusion in pedagogical practices, which enables the process of quality educational care for students with disabilities.  The objective of the study focused on characterizing the educational attention to primary schoolchildren included in the Fernando Cuesta Piloto Semi-boarding School in Santa Clara, from Physical Education. Various methods and techniques of scientific research were applied to collect and process information, such as survey, interview, documentary review, scientific observation. As a population, we worked with six teachers, four officials and 17 schoolchildren from the aforementioned center. Among the main results, a process of educational attention in the center that lacks equity, equal opportunities and little participation of schoolchildren in decision-making is identified, associated with the preparation needs of Physical Education teachers. In conclusion, the quality of the educational care process at the Fernando Cuesta Piloto Semi-boarding School in Santa Clara demands a strengthening of equity, equal opportunities and participation of schoolchildren in the physical-sports activities of the school.
