Abstract
This study developed a training proposal to prepare teachers at Amílcar Cabral School for inclusive education of students with hearing disabilities. Sixty-six participants (35 women, 31 men) were involved using a mixed-methods approach and participatory action research methodology. Data collection included administering a 14-item evaluation questionnaire to 15 teachers and a perception questionnaire to 50 students, along with an in-depth interview with the school’s pedagogical director and a comprehensive documentary review. Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS, which facilitated factorial analysis of the construct. The reliability of the teachers' questionnaire was assessed with a Cronbach’s Alpha of 0.700. For the students' questionnaire, the Alpha was 0.761 for the "Emotional Well-being" factor and 0.561 for "Social and Academic Inclusion." Preliminary results highlight an urgent need for specialized training in inclusive education strategies to effectively support students with hearing
