La formación del profesorado en paradigmas pedagógicos transformadores e inclusivos como el que se propone desde el Diseño Universal para el Aprendizaje (DUA) se convierte en la actualidad en uno de los pilares básicos para alcanzar una verdadera inclusión educativa. En el presente trabajo se plantea una revisión bibliográfica de los estudios más relevantes llevados a cabo en los últimos años (2017-2021) sobre la formación del profesorado en propuestas didácticas innovadoras basadas en el DUA para favorecer una educación inclusiva de calidad. Los resultados de la investigación demuestran la importancia del DUA como un enfoque innovador e inclusivo que, junto con las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC), promueven la transformación de los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje orientados a ofrecer respuestas eficaces a las diversas necesidades, demandas y particularidades de los estudiantes. Como conclusión, se destaca la necesidad de abordar los principios del DUA durante la formación del profesorado con el propósito de garantizar la construcción de ambientes de aprendizaje enriquecedores, así como un profesorado comprometido con la transformación del sistema educativo para lograr una escuela democrática e inclusiva.

Some academics are pushing for teaching staff to implement didactical practices to obtain sustainable behavior. Moreover, a fundamental element of gamification in all educational stages is the noteworthy effect it has on student motivation. In our study, we examined higher education students’ assessments in the University of Malaga on the design of educational gamification and the teaching criteria that relate to gamification, and its effect on student’s motivation, the applications of gamification, and the attitude towards sustainability. A questionnaire was administered to students studying for degrees in education from the University of Malaga. A total of 187 valid surveys were obtained. Partial least squares structural equation modeling was computed for these data based on an exploratory–confirmatory model and using SmartPLS version 3.3.2. A positive relationship between assessment of students’ motivation and sustainability attitude was found. We found that the opinions of the students about the role of their training and teaching design material in education would affect students’ motivation and the sustainability behavior, although the power of this last construct is moderate.

Intercultural education is a topic of great social and pedagogical interest and significance in the initial training of teachers. Its impact on the university context represents an inescapable impulse to build an open mindset that respects cultural diversity as a key element that will entail a real move towards inclusion. The objective of this study has been to discover the perceptions and profile of a non-probabilistic pilot sample of university students from a Primary Education degree course towards diversity and intercultural communication. A survey design was carried out, for which an ad-hoc questionnaire was built. 62 students participated in the survey, which was completed with a simulated sample of 500 cases using the Monte Carlo procedure for data mining analysis. A descriptive analysis was performed, as well as a cluster and tree forest analysis. Ward's method of minimal variance was applied for its ability to discriminate in determining grouping levels. The results revealed, among other things, the existence of a positive trend towards the recognition of cultural diversity as an enriching aspect in the generation of inclusive attitudes and intercultural communication. Similarly, different profiles were identified among the participants, as well as a precedence of the analysed variables that establish the distinction between profiles.

Resumen/Abstract El presente estudio describe experiencias innovadoras universitarias orientadas hacia la formación en el uso didáctico de la realidad aumentada de dos grupos de estudiantes del Grado de Educación Primaria de la Universidad de Málaga. Dichas experiencias se han desarrollado con 105 estudiantes a través de seminarios formativos de dos horas en las asignaturas de Didáctica General y Didáctica de las Ciencias Sociales durante el curso académico 2015-2016. Los objetivos de dicho estudio estaban orientados hacia el conocimiento de herramientas de realidad aumentada para dispositivos móviles y ordenadores, el desarrollo de actitudes positivas ante esta tecnología y la adquisición de competencias de uso de estos recursos desde un punto de vista didáctico para su implementación con un carácter prospectivo en las instituciones educativas en las que ejercerán su labor docente. Y tras los resultados obtenidos, se constata que en general los futuros maestros encuestados consideran la tecnología basada en la realidad aumentada como un recurso reforzador, amplificador y enriquecedor para crear nuevos formatos de escenarios de aprendizaje adaptados a las características y demandas del alumnado diverso desde una perspectiva inclusiva.
