Intercultural educational inclusion. Systematic mapping of literature

Abstract

Introduction: Educational inclusion seeks to ensure that all individuals have access to quality education regardless of their background, gender, sexual orientation, age, or abilities. To achieve this, it is necessary for this process to respect the cultural identity of each individual in order to promote culturally responsive teaching. The objective of this article was to conduct a systematic mapping of scientific literature published on this topic. Method: Using the four phases of the PRISMA flow diagram: identification, selection, eligibility, and inclusion, 26 articles indexed in the Web of Science, Scopus, and Scielo databases were analyzed. After screening according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, 18 articles were considered. Results: The selected studies show a growing trend in this line of research, while also highlighting the importance of promoting a teaching environment that is receptive to cultural diversity, where all identities and differences are recognized and valued. Conclusion and Discussions: Intercultural educational inclusion is an educational approach that comprehensively addresses cultural and linguistic diversity, which characterizes the educational environment. Scientific literature reveals emerging trends, highlighting the diversity of approaches to intercultural inclusion in the educational practice context, as well as areas requiring greater attention and suggesting future research directions in intercultural educational inclusion.
