Abstract
RODRIGUEZ DE VERA MOULIAA, L; LOPEZ MARTINEZ, AB and MURIA, A. Validation by experts of a methodological proposal to promote positive attitudes towards disability in inclusive environments. CPD [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.1, pp.162-178. Epub Apr 12, 2021. ISSN 1989-5879.
The Physical Activity Adapted to the Person with Disabilities (PwD) is recognized as an optimal path for the social inclusion of this group. However, the degree of inclusion of PwD will largely depend on the attitudes manifested by the different population groups, assuming that a positive attitude influences the behavior of the person towards a specific social group. In Mozambique, it is expected that the sports technicians trained in modalities adapted to the PwD, in addition to being technicians, will be agents that stimulate social inclusion.
OBJECTIVE:
the objective of the present study was to validate a methodological proposal that generates positive attitudes towards disability, thus improving the profile of the trainees leaving in courses for sports technicians.
METHOD:
the proposal was submitted to a validation process by experts, made up of a panel of 21 specialists from four countries (Spain, Portugal, Brazil and Mozambique), selected through a questionnaire to determine the coefficient of competence. For the analysis of the results, inferential statistics (measures of central tendency and dispersion) and the coefficient of agreement "Kendall's W" were used.
RESULT:
the experts satisfactorily evaluated eight descriptors, among them, the context of the proposal and its applicability; the design, objectives and strategies of the methodology; the success criteria, the estimated time for its implementation and the expected results.
CONCLUSION:
a methodological proposal with the aim of improving the attitude of the person being trained towards disability was validated by specialists.
