Volume 19. Number 37 (April, 2026). Educating for diversity through musical and artistic proposals.

Diversity in the classroom is becoming increasingly evident in the educational panorama. We are progressively abandoning closed programmes in search of greater flexibility and adaptation to the differential traits of the student body. There is a need to provide training for future teachers and ongoing training for education professionals in order to take advantage of the opportunities for social and cultural enrichment that this diverse reality offers us in all areas of education.

This monograph proposes works based on musical and artistic experiences that contribute to increasing inclusion in the classroom in all its approaches: social, cultural, economic, due to cognitive or physical limitations, etc. In search of an increasingly necessary full inclusion. To this end, we must provide teachers with realistic and accessible resources, complete and quality training, as well as carry out important work to accompany the families of students at an early age, as the comprehensive development of children can only be understood through cooperation between the family and the teacher.

This new issue of the Journal of Learning Styles, to be published in April 2026, will promote the dissemination of pedagogical proposals that address the design, implementation and evaluation of educational resources and didactic experiences based on music and art, in all their transversal and interdisciplinary dimensions.

Therefore, this call aims to publish research articles, studies, experiences and educational practices that highlight the following topics:

Musical and artistic educational proposals as enhancers of attention to diversity:

  • Teaching perception: educational transformation in the different areas of application (nursery, primary, secondary, university, conservatories, music schools).
    Search for full inclusion: support and reinforcement of respect for diversity and education in values through artistic-musical dynamics.
  • Good teaching practices: visibility of the results obtained after the experiences developed, integral improvement of the individual and repercussion in their social interaction.
  • Learning situations in different subjects through creative experience in the classroom: application and results.
  • Artistic-musical proposals in connection with technological resources that enhance accessibility and favour inclusion in the classroom.
  • Accessible and inclusive didactic and digital resources: creativity and applicability of musical and artistic proposals.
  • Case studies using inclusive pedagogies with an artistic-musical base in different educational settings: nursery, primary, secondary, university, conservatories and music schools.
  • Approaches from educational practice, in formal and non-formal educational contexts. 
  • - Therapeutic support through artistic-musical proposals.

Submission of proposals: Manuscripts may be submitted in two official languages: English and Spanish.

Deadline: 1 October 2025
