Journal: RECAP - Research in Education Curriculum and Pedagogy: Global
Perspectives
Issue: Inclusion in Motion: Rethinking Policy and Pedagogy in Latin
American and Caribbean Classrooms, Thirty Years on from Salamanca
Call Deadline: 31-Mar-2027

Introduction:
Thirty years on from the Salamanca Statement and Framework for Action
on Special Needs Education (UNESCO, 1994), Latin America and the
Caribbean have gone through a complex and challenging process towards
building inclusive education systems. The region's normative
frameworks and public policies have incorporated the principles of
inclusive education to varying degrees, while curricular and
pedagogical practices in classrooms continue to face tensions between
the normative mandate and the actual conditions of implementation.
This special issue of RECAP: Research in Education Curriculum and
Pedagogy invites academics, researchers and teams to submit papers
that critically examine the progress made, the challenges that persist
and, in particular, what works in relation to inclusive education,
special education and public policy in Latin American and Caribbean.
Aim of the Special Issue:
To bring together original and rigorous research that provides
evidence on the curricular and pedagogical transformations driven by
inclusive education policy frameworks in Latin America and the
Caribbean since 1994, with particular attention to practices,
strategies and interventions that have demonstrated positive and
sustainable outcomes.
RECAP is part of AT-Journals (https://at-journals.com/). The

Thematic Areas:
Contributions are invited on, among others, the following themes:
 - Normative frameworks and public policy on inclusive education and
special education in the region.
 - Policy implementation processes: gaps between normative design and

learning, curricular adaptations and pedagogical flexibilisation.
 - Initial and continuing teacher education for attending to
diversity.
 - Experiences and evidence on effective pedagogical practices (what
works) in inclusive contexts.
 - Inclusive education in rural contexts, indigenous peoples,
Afro-descendant communities and migration.
 - Family and community participation in inclusive education
processes.
 - Evaluation and monitoring of inclusion policies: indicators,
information systems and accountability.
 - Comparative studies across countries in the region.
 - Perspectives of students with special educational needs,
disabilities and intersecting identities on their own educational
trajectories.
