Perceptions about cultural diversity and intercultural communication of future teachers

Abstract

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.

The effect of assessment procedures in the development of competences during initial teacher education: A systematic review

“…It is common for the study of competences in preservice teacher education to be approached from the teachers' perception of their own development (Cabezas-González, Casillas-Martín & García-Peñalvo, 2021;Keller-Schneider, Zhong & Yeung, 2020;Pareja, Leyva & Matas, 2020), thus demonstrating a preoccupation among the scientific community and academia for detailed knowledge of this area and from this perspective. But it could be asked whether the assessment procedures used in initial teacher education effectively contribute to the development of teachers' professional competencies, as pointed out by Voogt, Fisser, Pareja, Tondeur and van Braak (2013).…”

El rol intercultural de la modelación matemática durante la educación no presencial universitaria

“…La convivencia cultural no solo se desarrolla en espacios físicos de los ambientes universitarios, sino en entornos virtuales actuales; por tanto es menester proponer estrategias para hacer más tolerante la convivencia educativa y el aprendizaje cultural en condiciones de virtualidad (Rodríguez et al, 2019). La sociedad peruana es muy diversa y compleja, y cada vez más pues no se configura como un fenómeno discreto; todo lo contrario, se acentúa aún más debido a la masificación de las tecnologías de la información (Pareja de Vicente et al, 2020).…”

Production Analysis and Scientific Mapping on Active Methodologies in Web of Science

“…In this context, institutions also evolve, and among these, our educational system. A system that, as we currently know it, is structured as a complex reality (both in its organization and in its operation) in which many socio-cultural factors have an interrelated impact that, in turn, have a very direct impact on classroom work [2].…”
