Inclusión y Diversidad en Educación : 10 años de Investigación en Educación Especial

Abstract

Inclusion and Diversity in Education. 10 Years of Research in Special Education is a work that reflects the rigorous and sustained commitment of scholars and researchers from the Department of Special Education at the Metropolitan University of Educational Sciences. Over the course of a decade, they have addressed key topics such as teacher training, the inclusion of students with disabilities, especially those with Autism Spectrum Disorder, and intercultural bilingual education in indigenous communities with depth and sensitivity. This work highlights the complexities and tensions between official and cultural knowledge, proposing approaches that promote authentic intercultural dialogue and more inclusive educational policies. Furthermore, it offers a critical analysis of structural barriers in higher education and underscores the fundamental role of the tutor teacher in building equitable educational environments. This compilation constitutes a solid and pertinent academic contribution, which significantly contributes to the advancement of a more just, diverse, and respectful education of the multiple identities present in Chile.
