Descripción:Our purpose in this essay, first of all, is to present the theoretical foundation for designing a prejudices scale towards people with disability. Second, we highlight how, based on qualitative research, we use its results as a pivot to build a scale following an eminently quantitative route. We also include the procedure followed to obtain the first items of the initial version of the scale which is still going through a validation process. Prejudices towards people with disability are the thematic axis and the gender dimension is a sub axis. Our argumentative posture maintains that prejudices towards people with disability is a social construction, as well as that prejudices exist within university context where are permeated by gender, therefore, it is indispensable to address them in order to promote an inclusive higher education. Conclusions point out the importance to respond to a growing population with disability within the university institutions and how the ethical and political components are always present in every research, and yet our responsibility as researchers should be to make them evident.
