Resumen

We present a research aimed to analyze and understand the role of learning materials in higher education. Specifically, we have analyzed the value of the Index for Inclusion in the integration of knowledge in a pathway called Inclusive Education, in the Master of Psychology and pedagogy in the University of Alcalá (Spain). Through a process of collaborative inquiry, the data contribute to the debate about the value of the materials for reflective integration of theory and practice in higher education, and its potential for interdisciplinary processes. The results indicate that the Index for Inclusion is a highly practical and versatile resource to enhance interdisciplinary relationships because it allows problem solving based learning.
