Some students have asked me to speak in class about the conceptual definition of "multiculturalism" and its differences with multiculturalism, multiculturalism, etc., And the implications for the phenomena and related terms: assimilation, ethnocentrism, xenophobia, symmetrical relations, miscegenation, .. etc.etc.
As there is content of my course, I've sent you to read my 'brief comment through this blog, which, of course, I get out of the conceptual approach and I intend to give a more practical.
educational level, multiculturalism is a process. Intercultural development is carried out every day, every educational activity. This idea puts the focus on "intercultural curriculum."
intercultural development must be intentional. This requires implement all the mechanisms pedagogical and curricular our reach:
- A work jurisdiction, where social competence has an important role.
- explicit targets aimed at knowledge of others.
- Some content where relevant are treated with equal cultural and historical characteristics of all participants in the classroom.
- A presentation of information with a variety of cultural models.
- Some activities which aim to observe the similarities and an explanation of the differences.
- A prime methodology where dialogue, joint reflection, constructive criticism and collaborative work cooperatively cutting.
- contemplate an assessment where all cultural events number (language, cultural facts, views, history, ...)
In conclusion, a model of teaching and learning where multiculturalism is intentional and obvious in the school curriculum.
