Abstract

The purpose of the research is to explore the understandings among pedagogical specialists related to inclusive intelligence. The following research tasks can be deduced from the set goal: to carry out a theoretical overview of the idea of inclusive intelligence, to create an appropriate toolkit; to investigate the understandings of inclusive intelligence among the different pedagogical specialists studied and to present it in percentages in order to facilitate the analysis. Based on theoretical ideas, the dominant notions and representations of inclusive skills outline the limits of the acceptance of diversity, largely corresponding to stereotypes and prejudices related to difference.

The hypothesis is that inclusive intelligence as a tool to support and include the different, regardless of the origin of their specificities, meets conscious and unconscious resistances among pedagogical specialists.
