Abstract
The present work is a practical experience carried out in the second level of the first cycle of secondary education institutions in Alicante.
I’ve done it during the second assessment period, alter, having observed in the support classroom the presence of certain levels of inappropriate behaviour in the period between october and december (1st term).
We want to emphasize in my work the importance of the identification by the teacher and the group of students who are part of the sample of this study of perceived as discriminatory behaviour in the classroom as an essential part of the methodology of this research.
This experiment was carried out with a total of 48 students of 2nd ESO, in a group with learning disabilities and a group without learning disabilities but who was a student with Asperger’s Syndrome.
Following the commitment of parents, teacher and students, it was decided to implement a attitudes improve technique toward people wiht disabilities which consisted of conducting cooperatively and the realization of a story.
This study was divided into 6 sessions in which students has to answer as a group to a number of issues relating to eople with disabilities. Befor we had a scale of attitude and other valuation terms associated with disabilities to evaluate the effects of the program.
The result of this research has been very successful because the students were involved from the outset in the experience, they had higher levels of engagement in behavioural change and the behaviors dropped within a short period of time thereby improving the cohesion of all students in the 2nd term (assessment period).
