Abstract

This presentation describes a methodological approach to learning inclusive and innovative practices in contexts of great diversity proposed by JP-inspiring knowledge. The particularity of an educational framework – the ik-Model – that aims at the reinforcement of systemic educational cultures in a demanding context of heterogeneity – the Plurinational State of Bolivia – is the main focus of this analysis. In 2014, an interministerial process, involving national and international stakeholders, developed a Masters Training for local Educational Agents within an ICT innovative learning approach. One of the crucial challenges for the Bolivian education system, emphasized in the SocioCommunity Productive Educational Model, was the adoption of new technologies in the new curriculum, taking into account the Bolivian multilingual, intercultural and intracultural education. The ik-Model was used as a methodological strategy to approach ICT in this challenging context of cultural identity reinforcement. During the training phase, participants had to design their meaningful ICT activities always bearing in mind socio-communitarian productive goals and the demand for a collaborative and inclusive learning environment that reinforces cultural roots and diversity. A particular meaningful learning plan is highlighted here, regarding the critical elements that make it a token of the most meaningful practices in education and development for all throughout the life span.
