Educational Psychology for Inclusion and Literacy

"Psychopedagogy for Inclusion and Literacy" offers an engaging and up-to-date exploration of the theoretical, methodological, and practical foundations of inclusive education, with a special focus on literacy among youth, adults, and older adults. The book offers a humanistic and transformative response to the persistent problem of illiteracy affecting numerous countries in Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, and Asia.Among its core themes are the unity of the cognitive and the affective, as well as the social mediation of human development. The book integrates the valuable pedagogical and emancipatory contributions of José Martí, Simón Rodríguez, and Paulo Freire with the scientific principles of L. S. Vygotsky and his socio-historical-cultural approach. It also incorporates David Ausubel's theory of meaningful learning, emphasizing the importance of intrinsic motivation, the significance of content, and the active role of the learner as a constructor of their own knowledge and development.
