EDUCAÇÃO INCLUSIVA NO SÉCULO XXI: O PAPEL DAS MÍDIAS DIGITAIS NA SUPERAÇÃO DE BARREIRAS EDUCACIONAIS

Abstract

This article discusses the role of digital media in promoting the inclusion of students with disabilities in education, highlighting how these tools contribute to overcoming attitudinal, pedagogical, and structural barriers. The transition to a knowledge society demands a more flexible and adaptive education system, in which digital technologies play a central role. However, school inclusion faces significant challenges, such as the lack of teacher preparation and the persistence of segregationist practices. Therefore, the objective of this study is to conduct a bibliographic research to analyze how digital media can be used critically and creatively to promote inclusion, ensuring the full and equitable participation of all students. To achieve this, a bibliographic review was conducted, integrating contributions from authors such as Mantoan (2015), Behrens (2013), and Moran (2012), as well as studies on the use of technologies in education. It is concluded that digital media, when combined with inclusive pedagogical practices, have the potential to transform education into a more accessible, democratic, and individualized process, tailored to the needs of each student.
