Interculturality and equality in higher education: a systematic review

Abstract

The article allows us to look at other ways of constructing knowledge based on spheres of encounter and disagreement with various researchers who have written on the subject and who contribute to the generation of intercultural dialogues and higher education, hence the importance of a systematic review of the issue. The concept of interculturality and equality is projected further away from the basic contact between the inhabitants, from the epistemological perspective in the way in which difference is agency, deliberating on these concepts immersed in higher education, described and analyzed by the different authors consulted, it is evident that the work is continuous from a vision of dialogue and encounter of cultures. Access to quality education without discrimination is a constitutional right of Ecuadorians and in various Latin American countries. The selection process of the studies was carried out based on the PRISMA methodology, based on academic search engines such as Latindex, Redalyc, Scielo, Dialnet, Web Science and Google Scholar, proposing inclusion and exclusion criteria. It is concluded that higher education must be intercultural, because all its internal and external environment is diverse, in order to achieve the equality of all its members, a profound revision is needed that leads to the improvement of the pedagogical and educational logic, expanding the temporal range.
