Education, values, technology and music. Aiming for an inclusive model committed to equality and interpersonal relations

Abstract

This work is based on theoretical reflections regarding the need for a change in the educational system to one that is committed to inclusion, that considers equality and inequality, technologies and the relational factor, and that implements methodologies that can provide a response for a heterogeneous population. From this point of view, objectives have been set to achieve an inclusive model that includes values, technology, and interpersonal relations, in addition to establishing a theoretical, attitudinal and experimental methodology. To this end, a pilot educational project is being carried out in Primary Schools that deals with the use of information technologies and social values. With music as the backbone of the programme, all of the activities are designed with the aim of improving the atmosphere of the classroom and the school, as well as to promote the respect and appreciation of differences: nationalities, minorities, disabilities, etc., among students. Assessment of the project offers adequate qualitative and quantitative results, both in the acquisition of conceptual content as well as in procedures, values and social standards, which allow us to make a conclusion regarding the need to establish an inclusive educational model into which all students can be integrated.
