Diversity in the Educational Context

Abstract

Today’s society presents a diverse context in many ways, whether they are social, intellectual, religious, economic, sexual, among others. There are many obstacles in identifying this diversity and thus promoting a real inclusion of those people, turning them into social and integrated beings who value and respect differences. This research aims to understand and to present the concept of diversity by discussing the current social context in which the differences are so present and explicit, as well as talking about diversity management in a school context, bringing up the implementation of technologies to corroborate and cooperate with the questioning of school’s management role toward this scenario. In order to achieve such goals, this research was developed through bibliographic studies based on reading and understanding articles and books on this subject. The necessity of working urgently with this question in the school field was identified to develop teachers who are facilitators on this process, in a way that they use the resources, mainly the technological ones, to promote inclusion and respect among the students, having a positive and direct impact in a more righteous and inclusive society.
