MODERN PEDAGOGICAL APPROACHES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF INCLUSIVE EDUCATION

Abstract

Inclusive education has emerged as a cornerstone of contemporary pedagogy, aiming to ensure equitable learning opportunities for all learners regardless of their cognitive, physical, socio-cultural, or linguistic differences. Modern pedagogical approaches such as learner-centered instruction, competency-based education, differentiated teaching, and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) provide innovative frameworks to address the heterogeneity of students in inclusive classrooms. The integration of constructivist principles, collaborative learning, and digital technologies further enhances accessibility, engagement, and personalized learning trajectories. This article underscores the transformative potential of these approaches in fostering not only academic achievement but also social integration, empathy, and lifelong learning skills among students. Emphasizing both global best practices and contextual adaptations, it argues that the effective implementation of modern pedagogical strategies is pivotal for advancing inclusive education systems in the 21st century.
