CRUZ FLORES, Gabriela de la. Inclusive cultures in secondary education: Construction and validation of instruments. Sinéctica [online]. 2021, n.56, e1159.  Epub 06-Maio-2021. ISSN 2007-7033.  https://doi.org/10.31391/s2007-7033(2021)0056-006.

The objective of this research was to develop and validate tools for the promotion of inclusive cultures in secondary education. Inclusive cultures are understood as those that recognize diversity, encourage learning and participation, build community, and strengthen the sense of belonging. Based on a review of the literature and field work at secondary schools, a Likert-type scale was developed for students and a guide for the improvement of inclusive cultures in school groups was established. The scale was validated through factor analysis resulting in five factors: Responsibility with learning and sense of belonging; Affective school environment; Social construction of knowledge; Development of citizenship and social participation and Safety in school and its surroundings. The scale obtained a high internal consistency (α .92) and explains 51% of the variance. After the scale was validated, a guide was prepared establishing phases and questions that call on students, teachers, and authorities to build common projects for the generation of inclusive cultures. Both instruments were designed considering the heterogeneity of the subsystem in Mexico.
