The issues which are discussed in the 29 chapters of this volume address core matters with respect to modern diverse societies. The most important relate to the following: the societal needs of migrant populations and the educational needs of their children; the exclusivist policies which usually impact upon migrant groups; the need to enrich school texts and curricula with new intercultural and citizenship dimensions; the importance of integrating the notion of Paideia within the school ethos and educational programmes. This volume has a dual aim. The first aim is to envisage the field of Multicultural and Intercultural Education from different disciplines at the international level, descri...
The current societal and social reality in Europe is undergoing far-reaching changes due to the phenomenon of migration. Educational policy and pedagogical practice play a key role in the academic support of immigrant children in schools. In this volume, the connections between societal change and educational issues in relation to two southern European nations, Spain and Italy, are analyzed. The stories of intercultural communication and integration of these two case studies focus on five themes: linguistic diversity, the performance gap, teacher training programs and school culture, the role of music education in multicultural and multilingual contexts, and the development of a supranational education as an improvement for multicultural education. The volume is of particular relevance for educational researchers, as well as for the interested general reader. It takes the reader to public and private entities in Italy and Spain, where intercultural education is part of societal discourse, and serves as a sounding board for the discussion of developments in other parts of Europe with similar demographics.

In this new decade, institutions of learning and the learning individuals who attend them are confronted with phenomena of change and transition, and with contradictions. Traditional learning and education concepts therefore have to be reevaluated and adapted to current circumstances. In this book, which comprises contributions in English and in German, authors from different scientific disciplines look at learning on the basis of three key aspects: higher education, language and place. Angekommen im neuen Jahrzehnt sehen sich Bildungsinstitutionen und lernende Individuen mit Phänomenen des Wandels und des Umbruchs sowie mit Widersprüchen konfrontiert. Traditionelle Lern- und Bildungskonzepte müssen deshalb neu überdacht und den aktuellen Begebenheiten angepasst werden. In diesem Buch, das sowohl deutsche als auch englische Beiträge versammelt, blicken AutorInnen unterschiedlicher wissenschaftlicher Disziplinen auf das Lernen anhand der Schwerpunkte Hochschule, Sprache, Ort.
Este texto se ha elaborado de forma específica como documento de estudio para la asignatura Diversidad cultural y equidad en la escuela, que forma parte del plan de estudios del Grado en Educación Infantil impartido por la UNED. La premisa de la que se parte es que la diversidad cultural siempre está presente en todo grupo humano, es lo normal y no debemos utilizarla para justificar la desigualdad y la discriminación. Lo cultural siempre se manifiesta en toda situación educativa a través de las interacciones entre las personas, pero a priori no podemos saber cómo se va a manifestar. Se ha prestado un especial cuidado en incluir actividades y recursos que sean útiles para el pensamiento y la práctica diaria en la escuela.
