Learning Environments and New Technologies: Pedagogical Perspectives for the development of Inclusive Educational Scenarios

The ongoing technological revolution in the present era brings forth new demands within the realm of education, necessitating the creation of innovative pedagogical and educational encounters. Learning through technologies serves as a framework to facilitate teaching, enabling the introduction of new experiences and social practices aimed at generating new knowledge and competencies. Within this framework, the realm of physical education demonstrates substantial interconnectedness with the application of technological tools that can serve as assets for its advancement. Hence, the objective of this manuscript is to provide insights and novel viewpoints regarding the influence of emerging information and communication technologies on the processes of teaching and learning. Indeed, these new technologies enable the diversification of teaching approaches, allowing all students to engage in knowledge acquisition through practical involvement and personal experimentation, thereby expanding the realms of perceptual-motor activities. By leveraging these new technologies, educators can create inclusive learning environments that cater to the diverse needs of all students, regardless of their abilities or backgrounds. However, it’s essential to ensure that technology integration is done thoughtfully and with consideration for accessibility, equity, and inclusivity. Ongoing professional development and support for educators are also crucial to maximize the potential of these technologies in promoting inclusive didactics.
