O ingresso das sociedades indígenas na cultura escrita constitui o objeto deste estudo no âmbito da Educação Intercultural. O artigo analisa as concepções de alfabetização da docência indígena ...evidenciadas em cadernos escolares de crianças de uma escola da Amazônia. O estudo de caráter qualitativo adotou como fonte de dados a pesquisa documental. Os resultados apontam que no trabalho de alfabetização há atividades significativas com orientações construtivistas e algumas empiristas. Embora a história da aquisição da leitura e escrita na etnia Gavião Ikolen tenha ocorrido por meio da atuação missionária e suas cartilhas, atualmente é realizada por docentes indígenas que utilizam materiais diferenciados que sugerem processos próprios de ensinar/aprender com aproximações construtivistas.
El ensayo discute sobre la necesidad de incorporar en las políticas educativas chilenas, criterios para una evaluación ética del profesorado en contextos educativos interculturales. Se analizan las ...características de las políticas actuales de evaluación del profesorado chileno, con base en propuestas teóricas que problematizan la necesidad de una formación ética intercultural para promover una cultura escolar que incorpore la cultura indígena local. Los principales resultados dan cuenta de la urgencia de pensar una competencia de ética intercultural en la formación del profesorado, lo que se debe fortalecer por medio de una política de evaluación continua de las competencias adquiridas. Se concluye con la propuesta de siete criterios de evaluación para el desarrollo de una actuación ética intercultural, para repensar una educación con pertinencia sociocultural indígena.
This mixed methods study explored German (n = 477) and Finnish (n = 379) student teachers' color-blind, multiculturalist, and polyculturalist diversity beliefs. Statistical analyses identified ...polyculturalism and multiculturalism as the most prominent diversity beliefs among the student teachers and detected associations between diversity belief profiles and student teachers' orientations to teaching for diversity and social justice. Polyculturalism, in particular, emerged as significant predictor of student teachers’ orientations to teaching for diversity and social justice. Qualitative analysis of responses to open-ended questions revealed that polyculturalism was internalized by the student teachers superficially. The implications of the findings for further research and teacher education are discussed.
•Statistical analyses identified polyculturalism and multiculturalism as the most prominent diversity beliefs.•Polyculturalism was strongly associated with student teachers' orientations to teaching for diversity and social justice.•Qualitative data revealed a weaker degree of polyculturalism than did quantitative measures.•Developing approaches to strengthen polyculturalist diversity beliefs in intercultural teacher education is recommended.
The present study aims to explore the views of lower secondary education teachers on the inclusion policies of immigrant and refugee students in Greek education. Fourteen secondary school teachers, ...six men and eight women, participated in the survey. The research was conducted using the semi-structured interview method. The results showed that the Greek language is a crucial factor supporting their adaptation to education. At the same time, in educational policy issues, most of them highlighted the problems in the material and technical infrastructure and the training of teachers.
An issue that has preoccupied young researchers and educators is the interaction of the fields of special and intercultural education as well as the factors that lead to the coexistences of them. The ...purpose of this study is to examine the factors that hinder the learning process of second-generation immigrant students in Greek primary schools. The ages of the children we will refer to are 7-8 years old due to the school achievements in reading and writing that are mastered up to this age point. This study is part of a larger study, which consists of qualitative and quantitative data from two research tools: interviews and questionnaires from teachers and guardians. The results were divided into categories. One of the main ones that stand in the way of children's learning is psychological and social factors, according to 91.8% of the participants in the questionnaire. In addition, it is worth noting that 82.6% argued that the reason students have learning difficulties is due to biological reasons. In conclusion, there is a correlation between learning difficulties and intercultural education that should be studied. The latter can play a pivot role to the assistance of the diverse categories of students' needs.

Este estudio, articulado a través de la legislación educativa, analiza la evolución en la forma de abordar el respeto hacia otras culturas en la escuela española desde el final del franquismo hasta ...la década de 1990. La metodología empleada es el análisis de contenido de los textos legislativos a nivel nacional desde la Ley General de Educación (LGE) de 1970 hasta la Ley de Ordenación General del Sistema Educativo (LOGSE) de 1990. En un posterior nivel de análisis, los conceptos sobre el respeto a otras culturas desarrollados por la legislación educativa son analizados mediante fuentes secundarias, exponiéndose ambos resultados de forma narrativa. El texto muestra cómo el modelo asimilacionista y etnocéntrico característico de la época franquista fue dejando paso progresivamente a planteamientos más respetuosos con otras culturas. La Ley General de Educación de 1970 fue un primer paso hacia ese cambio de mentalidad. Con la llegada de la democracia, la necesidad de una educación intercultural se hizo explícita, si bien, sus postulados no llegarían a concretarse hasta la década de 1990. Sin embargo, las buenas intenciones de la ley se vieron lastradas por la formación de los profesores en este sentido.
This paper explores the understudied topic of international student sojourners’ emotional intercultural competence in higher education by analysing Chinese postgraduate students’ experiences of ...managing their emotions evoked during intercultural communication at a British university. Through ethnographic interviews, this study examines how students construct their emotion-management experiences as well as the effects of social interaction on the construction processes of these experiences. The findings shed light on the motives and pathways for deploying specific emotional intercultural competencies in practice. Furthermore, the findings manifest the central role of the interplay between individual agency and societal forces in shaping the substances, facilitators, constraints, two-way interactivity and dialectical tensions of emotional intercultural competencies that unfold in specific interpersonal, moral and structural contexts. By representing competence as a repertoire of action strategies performed by individuals to address their important concerns and by illuminating the meanings of competence in particular environments at particular moments, this study moves beyond the traditional ‘list’ approach which largely conceptualises competencies as fixed, individual-based and universal entities. The study emphasises the importance of taking a holistic, process-oriented, context-based and dialectical perspective in developing a deeper level of competence for empowering individuals engaged in intercultural communication. In addition, this study discusses practical implications regarding the development of emotion-management strategies towards competence for intercultural education in higher education.
This paper stands in line with educational research on children’s conception of otherness through skin colour. The first part focuses on the epistemological context: it can be referred to the ...complexity paradigm and to a pragmatic approach of investigation, both aimed at confronting real problems such as the connection between colourism and racism. After considering some of the main research directions in this field, the second part articulates the construct of conception as the basis of the research framework. Finally, the third part describes the research design, the steps that led to the text stimulus outline, and what is in progress, looking for a constructive dialogue with other active processes in the national scientific community.
