Abstract

The objective of the research is to analyse pedagogical innovations in rural environments for the promotion of inclusivity. Documentary methodology was used in 18 scientific documents. It is evident that, in highly vulnerable contexts, teacher training and the implementation of flexible methodologies are essential to overcome structural and cultural barriers. The documentary review and the analysis of empirical studies show that the adaptation of teaching strategies to the socioeconomic and cultural realities of each community facilitates equitable access and promotes educational inclusion. Likewise, decolonial approaches and the valorisation of local pedagogical capital strengthen students' identity and sense of belonging. In conclusion, the integration of digital technologies and contextualised teacher training are fundamental tools for promoting inclusive, equitable and sustainable rural education.
