Strategies for applying culturally responsive pedagogy in the classroom

Abstract

Increasing cultural diversity in the classroom poses significant challenges for teachers, who must adapt their pedagogical strategies to serve students from diverse backgrounds. This study uses a literature review to identify and analyze effective approaches to culturally responsive pedagogy (CRP). Key strategies include the incorporation of relevant content that reflects cultural diversity, teacher training in intercultural competencies, and the creation of inclusive environments. The results show that these practices not only improve academic participation and reduce educational gaps, but also promote inclusive and equitable learning. PCR contributes to the integral development of students, increasing their sense of belonging and promoting values of respect and empathy in multicultural contexts. However, its implementation faces challenges such as lack of resources, limited teacher training and homogenizing educational structures. The study concludes that the integration of RCP in the educational curriculum requires the commitment of institutions, public policies and teachers, highlighting its transformative potential to build fairer and more inclusive educational communities.
