Abstract

The objective of the research was to evaluate the Strategic Management for the application of the Bilingual Bicultural Bilingual Model for the Deaf Schoolchild, in the Bolivarian Special Education Unit “Tulio Viera Portillo”, located in the Neighborhood Unit of San Cristóbal, Táchira state. The study was located in a field research, of descriptive, non-experimental character; in the modality of feasible project, with a quantitative approach. The population consisted of 2 directors and 20 teachers of the referred institution, to whom two instruments were applied respectively, consisting of a questionnaire made up of open questions at the beginning, in reference to the profile of the subjects under study and the other items, of closed order or by Lickert type scales, with alternative answers (always, almost always, sometimes, almost never and never). The same was previously validated under the technique of “expert judgment” and its reliability was determined through a pilot test administered at the Bolivarian Special Education Unit “Ofelia Tancredi de Corredor”, located in the state of Merida, in order to apply the Cronbach's Alpha coefficient, which reflected a value of 0.902, considered of very high magnitude. Among the results obtained, substantial weaknesses were found regarding the management process, the teacher's management profile and the knowledge of the Bilingual Bicultural Model of the population under study.
