The role of qualitative research in transforming educational reality
El papel de la investigación cualitativa en transformación de la realidad educativa
Main Article Content
Abstract
Qualitative research is an essential tool for transforming the educational reality, offering a deep and nuanced understanding of educational contexts and experiences. This article examines three key trends in qualitative research in education: digital transformation, educational inclusion and equity, and critical and transformative pedagogies. The integration of digital technologies revolutionizes pedagogical practices, facilitates access to knowledge, and promotes new forms of interaction and collaboration. Qualitative research emphasizes the need to create more inclusive and equitable educational environments, adapting policies and practices to ensure quality education for all students, regardless of their socioeconomic or cultural background. Furthermore, critical pedagogies inspired by theories such as that of Paulo Freire seek to empower students to question and transform their social reality, promoting a fairer and more equitable education. This article highlights how qualitative research can be a powerful tool for driving significant and sustainable changes in education by providing a comprehensive vision and effective strategies to address contemporary challenges.
