Summary
A large number of authors defended the need for an integrated approach to increasing intercultural reality of societies like ours. From a literature review, we designed a questionnaire with 29 items referring to some of the proposals arising from this approach, and ask a sample of 52 primary school teachers who work in public schools in Algeciras (Cadiz), which indicate for each item, the degree to which they consider relevant and the extent to which they apply in their daily work and in its center. Results show that while teachers value most positively proposals encounter serious difficulties in applying in practice a number of them. The data are discussed in relation to sex, age, experience, intercultural training of teachers, and the percentage of foreign pupils in each case.
Keywords: multiculturalism, integration, immigration, education, teaching. Abstract
A large number of Researchers Defend the Need of an integrative view on the growing intercultural reality of Societies Such as ours. After a bibliographic review, we designate survey with 29 items including some of the Proposals That Have Been Suggested from this paradigm. A sample of 52 teachers of primary education from public schools in Algeciras (Cádiz) was asked to indicate the degree in which he or she considered that each item was relevant and the degree in which it was applied in his or her daily practice. The results reveal that, although a majority of the proposals is rated as highly convenient, the teachers find it highly difficult to implement some of them. The data are discussed per gender, age, teaching experience, training in interculturality, and percentage of foreign students.
Key words: interculturality, integration, immigration, education, teachers.
