Numerous activities and tasks are performed in the course of the tutorial during student training, but not all have the same importance for the tutor. We approach this answer through a wider investigation (Martinez, 2010) conducted in two phases: an initial qualitative one using an interview as a tool for obtaining information, and a second one more quantitative with an electronic questionnaire. The results show the importance that tutors attribute to “being available for students”, “integration into the center” and “providing contextual knowledge and access to documentation of the institution”.
This paper shows how a participatory study on inclusive education was designed and developed in a town in the northwest of Spain. The methodology included the development of collaborative inquiries at intra-school, interschool and local levels. It was designed by following the principles of participative and community-based research. This study demonstrates diverse ways in which different educational levels face inclusion; the value of collaboration between agents and institutions for innovative thinking and practice; and the need to develop further and wider research connecting participatory research and community engagement movements to systematic research into inclusive education.
