La formación en educación intercultural en los docentes es necesaria en la realidad educativa española y más, en concreto, en la almeriense. El trabajo de investigación parte de la siguiente hipótesis general: “El diseño, la puesta en acción y la evaluación de programas interculturales contextualizados, favorecen la formación y el cambio de actitudes de los futuros maestros sobre la enseñanza – aprendizaje intercultural”. Para comprobar la presente hipótesis, elaboramos las que a continuación se indican: En los profesores docentes del curso: El profesor ayuda a analizar el contexto sociopolítico y cultural a los alumnos. Utiliza una metodología participativa, fomentando la reflexión y la formación de mentalidades críticas; y fomenta la creación de profesores tolerantes, respetuosos y abiertos al interculturismo En los alumnos participantes en el curso y observados en el aula: El maestro en formación ayudará, mediante actividades de enseñanza - aprendizaje, a reconocer la interdependencia (interacción) de los diferentes grupos culturales; y a reconocer que las actitudes, prejuicios y estereotipos influyen en el procesos de comunicación intercultural. Esto lo conseguirán mejor los maestros que ayuden a elaborar y a aplicar estrategias que permitan familiarizarse con otras culturas, comprenderlas y hacerlas tener en cuenta a los alumnos. Los maestros en formación, en las distintas materias observadas, utilizan secuencia de conducta iguales, no diferenciando su actuación en la materia que imparten. Los sujetos participantes fueron maestros en ejercicio que trabajaban en aulas multiculturales, profesores especialistas participantes en la en el curso impartido en la Universidad de Almería y alumnos participantes en el curso de la titulación de Maestro. Los instrumentos de evaluación utilizados fueron Entrevista de Percepción de profesorado de Bartolomé et al (1994), Escala de actitudes y conocimiento sobre la enseñanza y el aprendizaje multicultural de Barry and Lechner (1995), Escala de observación y diario de observadores para sujetos docentes y discentes elaborada para el presente trabajo. Las conclusiones a las que llegamos, una vez impartido el curso de formación a los maestros en formación inicial de la Universidad de Almería, es que el curso ha sido efectivo. Mediante el cambio de actitudes de “apertura” ante la realidad multicultural, cada vez más presente en nuestra provincia, y el conocimiento de técnicas para su aplicación en el aula, técnicas que le han ayudado a evaluar, diagnosticar y perfeccionar las estrategias de instrucción; los maestros han establecido un proceso de enseñanza – aprendizaje intercultural en las aulas donde han realizado su periodo de prácticas de enseñanza. Así se ha podido comprobar con la verificación de las hipótesis planteadas en el estudio. Los maestros en formación han conseguido ayudar, mediante las actividades de enseñanza - aprendizaje, a reconocer la interdependencia de los diferentes grupos culturales y a reconocer que las actitudes, prejuicios y estereotipos influyen en el proceso de comunicación intercultural. Han elaborado y aplicado estrategias que permiten familiarizarse con otras culturas, comprenderlas y hacerlas tener en cuenta a sus alumnos. Las propuestas de intervención realizadas, una vez concluido el trabajo de investigación, podemos indicar, a modo general, son las siguientes: En el ámbito universitario Se debe incorporar la idea de interculturalidad y, más en concreto, de educación intercultural en todas las asignaturas de los Planes de Estudio de Magisterio. Así también sería necesario que se implantara en los Planes de Estudios de las Licenciaturas de Psicopedagogía y Psicología Maestros en ejercicio La formación debería desarrollarse en los Centros de Profesorado, a nivel conjunto, con todos los profesionales del campo. Dicha formación conjunta es necesaria porque se expondrían realidades educativas de distintas zonas geográficas provinciales. Dicha formación debería desarrollarse en los centros de enseñanza, más centrada en el contexto, donde se utilice la reflexión individual y conjunta, y el trabajo en grupo de tipo cooperativo. Unido a la formación teórica, se debe proporcionar una formación humanística que esté integrada en una escala de valores y fundamentada en la concepción del ser humano y de su existencia. Esto último también debería ser incluido de la formación de los alumnos de la Titulación de Maestro En el ámbito de la Administración Fomentar la formación del profesorado en Educación Intercultural. Crear figuras de asesores externos.Ayudar a la creación de material didáctico. En el ámbito del centro educativo La Educación Intercultural deberá estar inserta tanto en el Proyecto Educativo de Centro, como el Proyecto Curricular de Centro.Creación de Escuelas de Padres. Promover actividades interculturales conjuntas con todas las instituciones sociales comunitarias.

The book is based on the exchange of professional experiences which featured in an IUCN CEC workshop in August 2002. Practitioners from around the world shared their models of good practice and explored the challenges involved in engaging people in sustainability. The difficulties facing practitioners vary between country and context but some challenges are universal: A lack of clarity in communicating what is meant by sustainable development; An ambition to educate everyone to bring about a global citizenship; Social, organisational or institutional factors constrain change to sustainable development, yet there is an emphasis on formal education, and community educators do not receive the same support; A lack of balance in addressing the integration of environmental, social and economic dimensions leading to an interpretation that ESD is mainly about environment and conservation issues; New learning (rather than teaching) approaches are called for to promote more debate in society. Yet, few are trained or experienced in these new approaches. Practitioners need support to explore new ways of promoting learning. [Foreword, ed].

This volume explores the current position of CLIL on the three main fronts where it is attracting particular attention in specialized literature, namely, implementation, research, and teacher training. To this end, it presents evidence from national and international research projects, governmentally-financed pedagogical initiatives, grassroots experiences and investigations, and inter-institutional training programs which offer insights into how CLIL is working in action on the afore-mentioned three levels. The opening section of the book (â oeCLIL in action: Practical considerationsâ ) provides a window into how CLIL implementation is unravelling at the grassroots level vis-à-vis key aspects for CLIL development, such as the design of materials, the use of ICT, and the importance of extramural exposure. The second part (â oeThe effects of CLIL on language learning: Research-based evidenceâ ) explores some key areas for future research, showcasing how engaging in research as a device that drives reflection is the best possible way to continue moving the CLIL agenda forward. Finally, in the third part (â oePreparing teachers for CLIL: Practical proposalsâ ), the interface of research and pedagogy is discussed, as the former informs the latter in a clear instantiation of what Coyle (2011) terms â oeevidence-based practiceâ in setting necessary teacher training actions in place. As such, the volume addresses three burning issues in the CLIL scenario through practical and research-based proposals of tried-and-true CLIL development. If all three strands â " implementation, research, and training â " dovetail and progress in harmony, a solid template will be built for the future and the CLIL agenda will be pushed forward. By pooling together the insights of a set of researchers, teacher trainers, policy makers, and grassroots practitioners, this volume will contribute to this much-needed endeavour.
