Inclusive education

This workstream is linked to the task of recognizing and valuing human diversity in all its dimensions and intersections in the educational framework. It aims to overcome the situations of discrimination and injustice that, unfortunately, many children, youth and adults suffer for different reasons: personal, social, cultural, or economic, among many others.

The thematic axes of this line of work are:

 

  • Equity and inclusive education: evaluation and improvement of educational cultures, policies and practices.
  • Initial and permanent teacher training on educational inclusion.
  • Universal Learning Design and its applicability in educational processes.
  • Inclusion / Exclusion processes in Higher Education institutions.

 

Concerning these axes, the following projects are being developed:

 

“Blended learning in schools: an universal design approach”. Research funded by the European Union within the ERASMUS + Call (2021-2024). Essentially focused on adapting Universal Learning Design in hybrid teaching contexts, especially in secondary school. In addition, materials and instruments are being generated so that teachers have enough tools to adapt any subject to a hybrid teaching environment based on Universal Learning Design.

 

“Strategies and actions of the universities in favor of the Teaching and Research staff with disabilities”. Developing in collaboration with the ONCE Foundation.

 

“Support networks in the university inclusion of gypsies”, financed by the Cátedra Cultura Gitana from the University of Alicante. The project is focused on knowing the networks and organizations that support this group to access the university.

 

“Shared teaching: a tool for inclusive education in collaboration with the CRIF Las acacias”, an action-research so that from the university they can train in co-teaching and observe its impact in relation to inclusive education.
