FUNDAMENTALS OF EDUCATIONAL INCLUSION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF TEACHING PRACTICES

Abstract

The foundations of educational inclusion constitute the theoretical and ethical basis that support the transformation of school systems toward more equitable models that respect diversity. One of the fundamental principles is the recognition of human rights, which establishes that everyone has the right to a quality education without discrimination. This legal and moral framework encourages educational institutions to eliminate barriers and guarantee equal opportunities for all students, promoting an environment in which the dignity and equality of each individual are valued. To achieve this goal, a qualitative methodology will be used, based on an essay-type text. The sociocultural dimension is fundamental to these foundations. Diversity in the classroom is seen as a wealth that enriches the pedagogical process. The variety of abilities, learning styles, cultures, languages, and experiences requires that teaching practices be flexible and adapted to the particular needs of each student. From this perspective, the pedagogical foundations of inclusion promote a student-centered approach, where differences are valued and strategies are designed to enable their active and meaningful participation in the educational process. Diversity ceases to be an obstacle and becomes an opportunity to learn from one another and build more diverse school communities.
