Special educational needs in university education: instructing for a dignified life

Abstract

The current educational failures in the face of social demands lie, to a large extent, in the insistence on applying unique, closed curricular models, with the pretension of having universal application. A situation that, by ignoring the plural human condition, limits the educational capacity to humanize coexistence. In consideration, this study analyzes special educational needs in higher education as a drive for coexistence consistent with the dignity that every life possesses. Thus, learning adapted to differences is promoted to serve well-being as the support of democratic governments. It prevents education as a repetition of one-dimensional societies due to relationships legitimized in the right to diversity. It is a bibliographical research of a diachronic nature formed from the deductive rationalist approach.
