Perception of the quality of life of people with disabilities and its relationship with education

Abstract

This paper identifies the perceptions of teachers and students about the quality of life of students with disabilities in vocational training centers. It specifically identifies the correlations between the perceptions of teachers and the perceptions of pupils. A total of 751 students and 82 professionals have participated. The Comprehensive Quality of Life Scale was used. The main results show that the different dimensions of quality of life perceived by professionals interact with their counterparts in the subjective version, but also complement dimensions that address various aspects of the person. The authors conclude that the results show the need to train educators in issues related to comprehensive education and teaching methodologies to achieve inclusive education.
