| dc.description | The purpose of this research is to analyze the influence of transformative educational practices on the academic development of children with intellectual disabilities at the Panamanian Institute for Special Education (IPHE) in Las Tablas. The study recognizes that these students require differentiated pedagogical processes, adjusted to their learning rhythms, potentialities, and specific needs. Therefore, it is considered essential to implement innovative approaches that move beyond traditional methods and promote inclusive and meaningful learning experiences. The research was conducted within a descriptive qualitative approach aimed at understanding educational dynamics and the ways in which transformative practices influence students’ participation and academic performance. This approach allowed for the analysis of not only observable results but also the processes, interactions, and strategies that emerge within the classroom. Through participant observation, interviews, and document review, a broad understanding was achieved regarding teachers’ work and how students construct their learning experiences. The findings highlight the application of practices focused on individualized instruction, the use of adapted materials, affective mediation, and the promotion of active participation. Likewise, strategies based on multisensory learning, visual structuring, and modeling were identified, all of which strengthen students’ autonomy and increase their motivation. Altogether, these practices demonstrate a teaching commitment to creating accessible, flexible, and emotionally safe environments, which are fundamental elements for enhancing learning in children with intellectual disabilities. These components contribute to more solid, sustainable, and holistic academic progress. | |
| dc.description.abstract | La presente investigación tiene como propósito analizar la influencia de las prácticas educativas transformadoras en el desarrollo académico de niños con discapacidad intelectual en el Instituto Panameño de Habilitación Especial (IPHE) de Las Tablas. El estudio reconoce que estos estudiantes requieren procesos pedagógicos diferenciados, ajustados a sus ritmos de aprendizaje, potencialidades y necesidades específicas. Por ello, se considera esencial implementar enfoques innovadores que permitan avanzar más allá de los métodos tradicionales y favorezcan experiencias inclusivas y significativas. La investigación se desarrolló bajo un enfoque cualitativo descriptivo, orientado a comprender las dinámicas educativas y la manera en que las prácticas transformadoras influyen en la participación y el desempeño académico. Este enfoque permitió analizar no solo los resultados observables, sino también los procesos, interacciones y estrategias que emergen dentro del aula. Mediante la observación participante, entrevistas y revisión documental se obtuvo una comprensión amplia del trabajo docente y de cómo los estudiantes construyen sus experiencias de aprendizaje. Los hallazgos destacan la aplicación de prácticas centradas en la individualización de la enseñanza, el uso de materiales adaptados, la mediación afectiva y la promoción de la participación. Asimismo, se identificaron estrategias basadas en el aprendizaje multisensorial, la estructuración visual y el modelado, las cuales fortalecen la autonomía y aumentan la motivación del estudiante. En conjunto, estas prácticas evidencian un compromiso docente orientado a crear ambientes accesibles, flexibles y emocionalmente seguros, aspectos fundamentales para potenciar el aprendizaje en niños con discapacidad intelectual. Estos elementos contribuyen a un progreso académico más sólido y sostenible integral. | |
