Abstract

In this paper the design, revision and validation of ACADI questionnaire (School self-assessment for attention to diversity and inclusion) are presented. ACADI is based on the model of inclusive education, and aims to develop effective attention to diversity at pre-school, primary and secondary education institutions. An initial set of indicators was selected, and an instrument suitable to measure such indicators was designed. The validation process was conducted in two phases: 1) the analysis of content validity performed by 18 assessors; and 2) the analysis of reliability after administration of the instrument at different schools in the Region of Murcia (Spain). The results showed ACADI is a valid and reliable instrument for self-assessment of schools, and allows self-reflection which may eventually lead to plans for improvement, which may in turn develop increasingly inclusive educational contexts.
