Technology among social educators is currently a very up-to-date topic. This is a professional group with its own characteristics that are different from those of teachers or other professionals in formal education. A mixed sequential two-phase method was proposed for the study: both quantitative and qualitative. In the first phase, the EdSocEval_V2 questionnaire was applied to a sample of 504 social educators from 17 autonomous communities. In the second phase, four focus groups were formed. The results presented reduced and basic usage of ICT: in management and administrative tasks and for communication with conventional tools. The COVID-19 pandemic has likewise increased the need for the use of ICT in socio-educational interventions, although their use for intervention among these groups is still very scarce. Training in and raising awareness of ICT among professionals for social interventions are priorities, as is the construction of a referential framework for professional training. 2023-02-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10259/7861 Estrategias para afrontar el envejecimiento de los trabajadores con discapacidad intelectual Fuente Anuncibay, Raquel de la; Ortega Camarero, María Teresa; Cuesta Gómez, José Luis; Sáenz del Amo, Rubén El envejecimiento de las personas con discapacidad intelectual es una cuestión que en los últimos años está afectando de manera preocupante a estas personas, deteriorando su calidad de vida y, en el caso de aquellos que trabajan, presentando nuevos retos a los centros laborales, que ven la necesidad de tomar medidas para atender a esta nueva situación desde diferentes ámbitos. A partir de estas premisas, se diseña una investigación, promovida por la Universidad de Burgos, Plena Inclusión Castilla y León y la Gerencia de Servicios Sociales de Castilla y León, con el objetivo de estudiar la relación que existe entre el proceso de envejecimiento en los trabajadores con discapacidad intelectual y su calidad de vida, diseñando un modelo de intervención, a partir de un “Protocolo de medidas e indicadores”, que ayuden a concretar y definir los apoyos que han de prestar los profesionales y las organizaciones en esta etapa vital. Se utiliza una metodología cualitativa de tipo descriptiva interpretativa a partir de la técnica Delphi, con la participación de 22 expertos provenientes de diferentes ámbitos del empleo y la discapacidad intelectual. La investigación se complementa con un grupo focal formado por 8 personas vinculadas al ámbito de la gestión, con el fin de proporcionar una visión estratégica global y valorar sus posibilidades de implementación real. Como resultado final se ofrece una herramienta consistente en un protocolo de medidas y evidencias que abarcan diferentes ámbitos de la calidad de vida de las PCDI, así como una serie de recomen-daciones para su aplicación desde un enfoque integral, que mejore la atención y la vida de los trabajadores con discapacidad intelectual que van envejeciendo. Se plantea como línea de trabajo futuro el pilotaje en entornos productivos para validar la efectividad del Protocolo.; The ageing of workers with intellectual disabilities is a problem that in recent years is affecting this type of population, deteriorating their quality of life and presenting new challenges at workplaces that see the need to take measures, to face this new situation from different areas. From these premises, a research is designed, promoted by University of Burgos, Plena Inclusión and the Social Services Management of Castilla y León, with the aim of studying the relationship between the ageing process in workers with intellectual disabilities and their quality of life, designing a model of intervention in the ageing of workers with intellectual disabilities, based on a Protocol of measures and indicators, which help to specify and define the support to be provided by professionals and organisations. A qualitative methodology of a descriptive interpretative type is used, based on the Delphi technique, made up of 22 experts from different fields in the approach and work with this type of population. The work is complemented with a focus group of 8 people related to senior management in order to provide a global strategic vision and assess the possibilities of real implementation. The final result is a tool consisting of a protocol of measures and evidences covering different areas of the quality of life of people with intellectual disabilities, as well as a series of recommendations for implementation from a holistic approach, to improve the care and life of workers with intellectual disabilities who are ageing. A pilot project to validate the effectiveness of the Protocol is proposed as a line of future work. 2022-04-01T00:00:00Z
