ABSTRACT:
This study investigates the integration of inclusive learning spaces in educational ecosystems, inspired by architect Rosan Bosch, to enhance entrepreneurship and inclusion in higher education. The concept of “ecosystem” is crucial in fostering environments where students, including those with disabilities, can thrive. Using the HomeByMe application, a design is proposed for implementing these spaces in educational institutions. Literature emphasizes the importance of involving diverse stakeholders and using ICT management to promote creativity, cooperation, and effective communication. In Ecuador, inclusion in higher education is a priority, driven by global and national organizations advocating for diversity. The research employs a qualitative approach, utilizing participant observation and interviews to explore learning ecologies and inclusion. Results demonstrate that learning ecosystems foster entrepreneurial skills such as problem solving and critical thinking. The study recommends that higher education institutions integrate social dimensions into their policies, use technology for personalized learning, and encourage collaboration among diverse student groups. These efforts aim to create equitable educational opportunities, addressing socio-economic and cultural barriers while promoting an entrepreneurial mindset through interactive and challenging content.
