Abstract

This article analyzes six pedagogical practices developed in Salvadoran schools during 2016, considering aspects such as school culture, the participation of social actors and the contextualization of learning. The research is qualitative, based on the design of case studies and with the participation of school principals, teachers and mothers. Among the findings obtained is the bonding that teachers usually establish with students, since it is based on the acknowledging and acceptance of the person based on their difference. And this connection is what has favored the participation of families and the community in the educational process and is gradually transforming pedagogical practices, since it will be difficult for schools to become more inclusive unless they focus on encountering one another.
