Intercultural education is a topic of great social and pedagogical interest and significance in the initial training of teachers. Its impact on the university context is an inescapable impulse by building an open mindset that respects cultural diversity as a key element that is a significant step towards inclusion. The objective of this study has been to know the perceptions and profile of a non--probabilistic pilot sample of university students from the Degree of Primary Education towards diversity and intercultural communication. A survey design has been carried out, for which an ad--hoc questionnaire was built. 62 students participated and completed with a simulated sample of 500 cases using the Monte Carlo procedure for data mining analysis. A descriptive analysis has been performed, as well as a cluster and tree forest analysis. Ward's method of minimal variance was applied for its ability to discriminate in determining grouping levels. Among the results is the existence of a positive trend towards the recognition of cultural diversity as an enriching aspect for the generation of inclusive attitudes and intercultural communication. Similarly, different profiles were identified among the participants, as well as a priority of the analyzed variables that distinguish the distinction between profiles.

This paper deals with the intercultural sensitivity of professors of Educational Sciences at the University of Malaga (Spain). The methodological approach of the study was qualitative, and the research techniques for data collection were in-depth interviews. The main technique for analyzing the information was content analysis. The results of the study show that the majority of university teachers identify interculturality as a value and a pedagogical proposal of great importance. Thus, there is a need to promote intercultural competences and a critical view of culture. In conclusion, the study highlights the existence of difficulties in developing interculturality, which requires a change towards comprehensive training and education in values in the university context.
