Inclusive and Intercultural Practices for Students who have just arrived from other Countries to Cataluña

Abstract

In this article, fragments about an investigation of educational practices in relation to Inclusive and Intercultural Education will be presented. Specifically, the objective of the research is to identify and compare the inclusive and intercultural practices of two centers: a Center for Infant and Primary Education (CEIP) and a Community for Infant and Primary Learning. Both are located in a small town in the Province of Barcelona. In accordance with the aforementioned purpose, an attempt will be made to highlight the comparison between the two centers, in which inclusive and intercultural practices are applied with newly arrived students from other countries. The methodology that was used was descriptive-comprehensive and put into practice from an ethnographic perspective through two information collection techniques in the centers: interviews on the one hand and analysis of official documents on the other. Significant results have been obtained, given that the Learning Community stands out for the type of inclusive education it employs, while, on the other hand, the other school does not follow any methodology or intervention in particular, reflecting the lack of inclusive practices and intercultural.
