Aplicación del diseño universal para el aprendizaje (DUA) en contextos rurales con limitaciones tecnológicas: un análisis sistemático de la literatura
Resumen
El presente artículo de revisión tiene como objetivo analizar la aplicación del Diseño Universal para el Aprendizaje (DUA) en contextos rurales con limitaciones tecnológicas, considerando su impacto en la inclusión educativa, la equidad y la reducción de barreras de aprendizaje. Para ello, se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura siguiendo las directrices PRISMA. La búsqueda se efectuó en bases de datos internacionales (Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC, SciELO y Google Scholar), identificando inicialmente 612 registros, de los cuales, tras aplicar criterios de inclusión y exclusión, se seleccionaron 27 estudios publicados entre 2010 y 2025. El análisis se organizó en cuatro categorías: formación docente en DUA, infraestructura y recursos tecnológicos, adaptaciones pedagógicas y barreras socioculturales y curriculares. Los resultados evidencian que la formación docente situada, el diseño de materiales multimodales y el aprovechamiento de recursos comunitarios son factores clave para la implementación del DUA en la ruralidad. Asimismo, se identifican limitaciones estructurales relacionadas con la brecha digital, la rigidez curricular y actitudes deficitarias hacia la diversidad. Se concluye que el DUA constituye un marco flexible y pertinente para promover la inclusión en la educación rural, siempre que se adapte a las particularidades tecnológicas, culturales y sociales de cada contexto.
