Estrategias pedagógicas para la adaptación intercultural de estudiantes al ingresar a instituciones educativas de nivel bachillerato

Abstract

Pedagogical strategies are essential in the educational context, fostering effective interlearning competencies. Their implementation supports holistic development and serves a fundamental role in the process of acquiring knowledge. The adaptation process for students should be carefully monitored and guided by teachers. Utilizing the interculturality present in educational environments to develop adaptation strategies is crucial, with cultural differences being a key focus. Therefore, this research aims to investigate the theoretical foundations through a bibliographic review of digital databases from the Catholic University of Cuenca, examining various pedagogical strategies employed in basic and high school institutions to facilitate intercultural adaptation among students from diverse backgrounds. A total of 50 articles related to the topic were analyzed. The selection criteria included academic journals published between 2020 and 2025, featuring classical authors such as Piaget, Watson, Skinner, and other influential figures who have significantly contributed to ongoing improvements in education. The results illustrate each student's learning style, the use of technology as an innovative educational tool, adaptive strategies for new students, and how the adaptation process, combined with interculturality, has served as a foundation for developing theories, as discussed by Lysgaard and Oberg.
