Synopsis

From Diego Gracia's perspective, deliberation implies a strong commitment to decision-making on the part of the educational community in different contexts and levels of training. This study presents the experience of a COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning) project, developed based on the deliberative methodology proposed by Diego Gracia, with graduate students in the field of education, as well as the results obtained from the analysis of the documents generated. Based on the areas of interest expressed by the students, the project focused on the realities of students with diverse abilities, within the framework of the principles of Universal Design for Learning. Data analysis focused on the tensions and conflicting values identified in the 37 case studies submitted by students from two countries, organized around four families and eleven categories of analysis, using an open coding system. This methodology constitutes an alternative proposal for addressing situations of conflict or dilemma from a co-responsible perspective, promoting individual and collective well-being in a consensual manner and, above all, respecting otherness within the framework of inclusive educational models.
