INCLUSIVE EDUCATION: PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES FOR A SCHOOL FOR ALL

Abstract

The present research addressed the implementation of inclusive education, highlighting the challenges and practices associated with the theme. The central problem investigated was: how can educational institutions apply the principles of inclusive education to ensure the participation of all students? The overall objective was to analyze the principles, strategies, and barriers in inclusive education and how they affect educational practice. The methodology of bibliographic review was used to explore the existing literature on the subject. The analysis included the evaluation of different inclusion models, pedagogical strategies and the role of assistive technologies. The main institutional and structural challenges were identified, in addition to the need for continuous training of teachers. The results showed that the adaptation of the environment and the curriculum is essential for effective inclusion, as well as the training of educators and the overcoming of structural barriers. Differentiated pedagogical strategies and the use of assistive technologies were confirmed as practices to promote inclusion. The analysis of the arguments showed that, despite the advances, there are still gaps that need to be investigated to improve the practice of inclusive education. Closing remarks highlighted the importance of institutional reforms and investments in infrastructure, as well as ongoing teacher training to ensure the effective implementation of inclusive education. Future studies should explore the effectiveness of inclusion practices and policies in different contexts.
