Abstract
In this scientific research, a study is carried out on the formation and development of the personality of the new generations from the Elementary Basic Education in Latin America. Here, attention to diversity represents a challenge and a priority not only for the Student Counseling Department (DECE) but also for teachers and managers, carrying out an analysis of key terms such as diversity, individuality, integration, segregation, homogeneity, individual, differentiated and personalized approach, attention to individual differences, and schools open to diversity.
In the development of this article, qualitative and theoretical research prevailed, highlighting methods such as the historical-logical for determining the main theoretical and methodological foundations that sustain the variables and the conceptualization and definitions. Furthermore, the theoretical systematization made it possible to obtain the latest research on the field.
Based on the conceptualization of children with Special Educational Needs (SEN) in Latin America, actions are used to offer higher quality education to students with special educational needs and the entire school population in general. Attention to diversity is for students with a specific SEN and for all students enrolled in an educational institution since they are diverse, and equal opportunities must be given to all students.
This article presents the meaning of educating in and for diversity from the new proposals this term has been reaching in recent times, especially under the inclusive education perspective. This new trend argues that schools should be for all, that no student, whatever their characteristics, should be excluded from education. It also defines the concept of inclusion, its main characteristics, and the principles that sustain it. Finally, a series of decisions and strategies are offered at the end of this study, and some changes must be applied so that each child can attend and learn in their school.
