Diversity is understood as the differences that students present in school learning, differences in terms of aptitudes, interests, motivations, abilities, maturation rates, learning styles, previous experiences and knowledge, social and cultural environments, etc. These aspects make up student typologies and profiles that should largely determine educational planning and action.

The perspective from the emerging educational paradigm must be inclusive and based on a biopsychosocial model that contemplates attention to diversity from a comprehensive approach aimed at the entire educational community. Teachers, at all educational stages, and related professionals in both the educational and socio-health fields need to know the characteristics of these students, know how to identify their needs and have the knowledge and tools to intervene at a personal, socio-familial and, above all, educational level.

This education responds to the demand of educational agents, focusing on early childhood, primary, secondary and post-compulsory education teachers. With this educational course, the teacher will acquire competencies to manage learning difficulties and diversity in the educational context, adjust the attention to diversity plans and the educational projects of the centers.
