Teachers and Cultural Diversity: Analysis of initial teacher training in interculturality

With European Higher Education Area implementation Spanish universities take on new responsibilities aimed at promoting the acquisition of civic competences that favor intercultural citizenship. In this study, we describe and analyze the Degree in Primary Education in Andalusia with the aim of identifying and analyzing those aspects related to work in contexts of cultural diversity. We have addressed this goal since a qualitative methodological design (descriptive and interpretive). We used as research technique the documentary analysis structured in 6 dimensions (Objectives, Competences, Contents, Learning Outcomes, Training Strategies and Evaluation Systems). Based on the results obtained, we conclude that references to cultural diversity in curriculum designs are scarce. There isn't transversal treatment of intercultural competences, neither a planning or coordination in relation to the process of acquiring from the same.
