Abstract

Students with mild intellectual disabilities face certain challenges in their learning, but with appropriate support and attention, they can achieve autonomy, including professional development. The aim of the present study was to design a recreational activities program to facilitate the inclusion of students in Physical Education classes, specifically for tenth grade at the Unidad Educativa Nabón, working with a population of 30 students from Parallel C. The research was conducted with a qualitative approach, being non-experimental and cross-sectional in nature. Various scientific methods were employed throughout the research process. The analysis and synthesis method allowed for theoretical grounding and justification of the researched problem, while the inductive-deductive method, along with the mathematical-statistical method, facilitated the consideration of the obtained results and validation of the proposed hypotheses. The results of the diagnosis revealed a growing dissatisfaction among students, mainly due to the limited variety of activities, which do not fully meet their needs and preferences. This limits the active participation of those with mild intellectual disabilities. In response, a program of recreational activities was proposed which, after being assessed by the results of the practical systematization and the interviews conducted with the students, they expressed a high degree of satisfaction with the proposed activities.
