COURSE OUTLINE

The aim of the course is to focus on the development and promotion of an educational environment that supports the integration and inclusion of students, regardless of their differences, in the school context. Through the study of theoretical approaches, research findings and good practices applied, as well as through the design of learning modules, students will understand the different challenges and needs of students with disabilities and promote the creation of environments that promote educational equity.

Specifically, students after successful completion of the course will have acquired basic and sufficient knowledge about:

  • the principles and objectives of inclusive education to create an accessible educational environment for all students.
  • the different categories of disabilities and the specific needs associated with them.
  • the design and implementation of individualised educational programmes that meet the needs of students with special educational needs.
  • the use of differentiated teaching methods and strategies, such as cooperative learning and team teaching, to enhance student participation.
  • developing positive attitudes and empathy towards diversity, fostering the inclusion and acceptance of pupils with special educational needs.
  • modern approaches and methodologies of inclusive education and best practices that enhance the participation of all students in the classroom.
