In the SE Master’s

The research lines are systematized as follows:

Thus, we sought to contribute to the characterization of the research activity carried out in the scope of Special and Inclusive Education through the final Project of ESECB Master, using as reference the categorization focused on some fundamental questions: What problems are studied?
With what research methodologies? What is the geographical origin of the studies?
