El enfoque intercultural en la formación del profesorado. Dilemas y propuestas

Abstract

Teacher training on intercultural education implies that a teacher receives initial and continuous training by means of a curricula that takes the intercultural perspective on its objectives, processes and contents. We wonder to what extent this is true in our context, both in initial and continuous teacher training iniciatives. Some dilemmas are formulated regarding how to develop teacher training from an intercultural approach: a) intercultural approach in education vs training on intercultural education; b) training in school centres and teacher training networks vs individual or grupal teacher training; revision of beliefs and practices vs training in skills and methods. Finally we describe some teacher training initiatives according to the intercultural approach we are involved in.
