Entendre i compartir l’educació inclusiva. Identificació i anàlisi d’elements comuns entre transformacions generades per l’ús de les TIC i pràctiques inclusives

by Ester Castejón Coronado

Educational practice is increasingly associated with processes of innovation and transformation, open to methodological changes and receptive to the incorporation of tools in the service of teachers and students. The use of ICT and their aspect of enhancing accessibility and facilitating tasks has been a constant in everyday life since the introduction of personal computers into the consumer market, and the educational field is no exception. Many of the resources to overcome barriers to learning and participation are currently related to technology. This dissertation analyzes the historical, conceptual and normative evolution of inclusive education and ICT as tools in the service of learning, and explores the favorable elements of inclusive practices, as well as the transformations generated by ICT in the classroom that is moving towards inclusive education. Assuming that the introduction of ICT in educational contexts can catalyze transformation processes that show a significant level of coincidence with the enabling elements of inclusive education, the connections between the two, are analyzed.
