Resumen

Las exigencias con que se enfrentan los profesores al abordar la diversidad están impulsando a varios países a reformar la política de aprendizaje profesional (AP) para apoyar oportunidades de aprendizaje sostenibles para todos. Puesto que la inclusión educativa (IE) se desarrolla dentro de una dinámica compleja, es esencial considerar cómo interactúan los diferentes elementos durante el despliegue del AP en contexto. Existen tensiones potenciales entre la política gubernamental, la orientación tradicional hacia las necesidades especiales de los programas de AP y el hecho de que la definición y la práctica de la IE difieren de un caso a otro. En la actualidad, la investigación sobre cómo se transfiere el AP al aula es limitada. Este artículo revisa la evidencia académica sobre cuatro dominios que han sido estudiados por separado pero no integrados como un todo en la investigación de inclusión educativa: inclusión educativa, práctica inclusiva, aprendizaje de los profesores y aprendizaje profesional. El propósito de esta revisión es triple: (i) proporcionar una visión general de la evolución del concepto de IE y el contexto de la reforma contemporánea de la Educación para Todos; (ii) comprender cómo la práctica inclusiva está impregnada por los avances en IE y sus implicaciones; y (iii) examinar críticamente diferentes perspectivas de investigación sobre PL en IE e ilustrar el valor de un enfoque de complejidad que abarca elementos de macro, micro y mesoescala que se combinan para describir el complejo fenómeno de IE.
