Attention to diversity programs: Psychological, academic -cognitive and social implications in the students of the autonomous community of Andalusia

Abstract

This descriptive study (survey study), has as main aims to know the profile type of students at risk of educational exclusion in the compulsory secondary education; to determine their opinion about mentioned programs, as well as checking if the independent variables considered are or not relevant in the realized valuation. All this to elucidate the benefit or the psychological, cognitive and social implications that could have these programs and measurements in the pupils.
The obtained results point at the consideration of students with high rates of repetition, integrated into families with parents with high rates of unemployment and fundamentally of manual labours. On the other hand, we can affirm that globally the students have valued positively the psychological and academic–cognitive aspects of diversity attention programs. Finally, all independent variables are statistically significant compared with some items (dependent variables).
