    Study on Communication between Migrant Families and Schools
    (Universidad de Murcia, 2020) Chamseddine Habib Allah, Mohamed
    It is well known that families’ participation at school has never reached the expectations desired by the educational community, but if we talk about migrant parents, we are confronted with a more complex issue than the previous one. For this reason, this article seeks to know participation and contribution degree of migrant families, as well as, teachers’ behaviour to promote parents’ knowledge and involvement at school life in early childhood and elementary schools of preferential attention in Región de Murcia. In this sense, a non-­‐experimental quantitative research of a descriptive and inferential nature was carried out, using two questionnaires, in which a total of 823 families and 150 teachers participated. The results show very low levels of parental participation at School Council and AMPA (School Association of Parents). However significant improvements have been detected in terms of a greater contribution from parents, such as supervising and controlling schoolwork, supporting them in organizing study time, and informing about their children’s regular attendance at school.

    The Teaching of Interculturality through Literature: New Challenges
    (Universidad de Murcia, 2020) Kunešová, Květuše
    The teaching of literature in secondary schools in the Czech Republic (note that this is in the course of Czech literature courses and taught in Czech) contributes in a relevant way to open to young people new worlds. It works starting from the treasury of the world thought, Homer’s Odyssey for example through Shakespearean drama and Goethe’s Faust, to the novels by Balzac or by Zola, to the twentieth century authors who engaged in the humanist cause by unveiling the hidden facets of human existence. The purpose of our reflection on intercultural topics is first of all to analyze the contribution of reading to the level of knowledge, then to propose the possibilities of using literary texts to demonstrate how much the dialogue between cultures is included in the works themselves, and finally, to consider which contemporary literary texts on a world scale could enrich in a relevant way the choice of books recommended to young Czechs. The conclusion will be a synthesis trying to compare the situation of Czech students to that of young Frenchmen, for example. It will also highlight the role of translation not only in teaching literature, but in knowing the Other.

    Teacher Competences in Early Childhood Education and Inclusive Education: Design and Validation of a Questionnaire
    (Universidad de Murcia, 2020) De Haro Rodríguez, Remedios; Arnáiz Sánchez, Pilar; Nuñez de Perdomo, Carmen Rocío
    The teaching community in Early Childhood Education represents a key element to promote an inclusive education and to identify what competences must be acquired in their initial training. The objective of this paper is to show the design and validation process of a questionnaire aimed at learning the competences which must be present in the degree in Early Childhood Education at the University of El Bosque (Bogotá, Colombia). There has been a sample of 158 participants: 7 judges, 92 students, 35 graduates and 24 employers. The instrument elaborated is made up of 53 items distributed in four dimensions – scientific, social, methodological and personal competences. The procedure has complied with the following phases: 1) revision of the state of art and initial elaboration of the questionnaire; 2) content validity through the expert judgement technique and introduction of the necessary changes; 3) instrument implementation; 4) analysis of the statistical reliability. The results show that the CEINCLUSIVA questionnaire is a valid and reliable instrument with a Cronbach’s alpha of .964. for all items. These positive results recur in every dimension of the instrument elaborated. Likewise, the judges’ agreement relating to the pertinence, relevance, clarity and exclusivity of the proposed items stands out.

    The Controversy
    (Universidad de Murcia, 2020) Devriésère, Viviane
    Education for democratic citizenship and intercultural dialogue have been key themes of the Council of Europe since 1954, which considers the place of education as central for people to live better together. Attacks and tensions in European societies in recent years have reinforced the importance of promoting a set of common values in societies. Thus, in 2012-­‐2013, during Andorra's presidency of the Council of Europe, the project to define the competences necessary for a democratic society was born. Among the skills expected of citizens in democratic societies are different skills, such as the ability to communicate effectively with others, especially people of different cultures, and the ability to resolve conflicts peacefully. Dialogue and argumentation are central to the development of these skills. Controversy has emerged in the Council of Europe as an essential practice, to be implemented in schools, to enable citizens to settle controversies peacefully. The Council of Europe has made various tools available to States, including one on controversy, which is particularly interesting for building these skills. This paper will focus on how to teach controversy in schools .

    Refugees: a new intercultural education for global citizenship
    (Universidad de Murcia, 2020) Parejo, José Luis; Ruiz-Requies, Inés; González-Pedraza, Ainoa
    Migration has traditionally encompassed the concepts of emigration and immigration. Emigration was the action of leaving a country to go to another one and immigration was entering a different country. However, the negative connotations acquired by the latter term over the years, largely owing to the media, has led to the spread and simple use of migration. Immigration has become a synonym of invasion, abuse of identity documents, mafias, unemployment, violence, crime, drugs, illegality, cultural deviation, religious fanatism and intolerance, backwardness, etc., while the term migration refers to leaving one’s place of origin, either temporarily or permanently, for reasons related to work, family or any other motivation that influences quality of life. Drawing from this idea, this article provides an analysis and theoretical discussion on the origin and evolution of migration movements and their effects on host countries, specifically focusing on the case of Spain, refugees’ situation and how the area of education should respond to fight the growing wave of racism and xenophobia in current western multicultural societies, so that a new global citizenship that is more inclusive and diverse can be built.
