Strategies for inclusion in the face of social exclusion. Case study in Andalusia (Spain)

Abstract

The aim of this study is to identify effective practices in education in order to address the issue of failure amongst pupils in secondary schools. It follows a descriptive research methodology, designed in the form of a case study. The results indicate the effectiveness of the learning strategies used and the satisfaction and commitment of the teaching staff, generating a list of factors which contribute to the development of good practice in education. It concludes by stating that learning and teaching strategies aimed at organising, teaching and planning for inclusive education are shown to be real weapons in the fight against early school leaving. The participation of all the relevant sectors is essential if the school is to see itself as a unit of exchange or a research space which incorporates differentiation into its processes of innovation.
