FIGUEROA-CESPEDES, Ignacio et al. A journey towards inclusion: participatory institutional self-study processes in a Chilean municipal school. Cuad. Investig. Educ. [online]. 2024, vol.15, n.1, e215.  Epub 01-Jun-2024. ISSN 1510-2432.  https://doi.org/10.18861/cied.2024.15.1.3700.

This article aims to analyze the institutional self-evaluation process developed in a municipal school in the Metropolitan Region of Chile. It highlights the implementation of innovative, participatory, and intensive methodological tools in an experience carried out between 2018 and 2019, focusing on the promotion of Educational Inclusion guided by the principles outlined in the Guide for Educational Inclusion. The methodology employs a Qualitative Design based on a Case Study that systematizes the initial phase of an Action-Research process developed in consensus between researchers, the school, and its coordinating team. This approach enabled a simultaneous process of accompaniment and inquiry, using field notes and interviews. In this way, the analysis highlights three phases: 1) the formation of the Inclusion Team, 2) the process of self-evaluation and methodologies implemented, and 3) the process of evaluation of barriers and design of the Plan. The results provide a detailed overview of the initiative, highlighting reflective aspects and transformative strategies, thereby contributing to the understanding of effective educational practices and promoting participatory approaches in institutional self-evaluation processes. It is concluded that the journey towards Educational Inclusion constitutes a self-reflective odyssey of collaborative action, allowing for a fresh perspective of the traditional processes of Institutional Self-Assessment and Evaluation. This perspective is enriched by Action Research and multi-method Methodologies, in order to cultivate cultural, political and practical conditions for learning and participation of the entire educational community.
