Transforming Realities: Contributions to Contemporary Education from Dialogic Learning Principles

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This article analyzes the contributions of CREA (Community of Researchers for Excellence for All) to strengthening teacher education and promoting inclusive, high-quality learning communities through evidence-based educational strategies. Employing a hermeneutic qualitative design, the study reviewed 40 high-impact scientific publications, complemented by focus groups and interviews with teachers across diverse educational levels. Findings, analyzed with NVivo, reveal how dialogic learning—grounded in egalitarian dialogue, solidarity, and active community participation—drives educational transformation by enhancing social cohesion, equity, and academic achievement. Successful cases across Europe and Latin America illustrate the effectiveness of educational actions such as Interactive Groups and Dialogic Literary Gatherings in reducing inequalities, fostering family engagement, and generating sustainable change. This study highlights the pressing need to provide teachers with dialogic and collaborative methodologies that meaningfully link educational research with ethical commitments and the pursuit of social justice. Embedding these practices into educational policies can serve as a realistic path to uphold the right to an education that is both inclusive and equitable in the complex scenarios of the twenty-first century.
