Active methodologies and assistive technology: study guides and the use of Matific in inclusive education for students with autism

Abstract

This paper investigates the intersection of active learning methodologies and inclusive education, emphasizing the Matific platform as an assistive technological tool. Employing a qualitative, descriptive approach through literature review, the study explores how inclusive practices, combined with innovative educational strategies, support the development of autonomy, active participation, and meaningful learning among students with disabilities. Assistive technologies are shown to enhance communication, mobility, and social interaction, reinforcing equitable access to education. The findings suggest that integrating active pedagogy with inclusive digital tools presents a powerful pathway toward a more just, participatory, and transformative educational experience.
