La interacción docente-discente en contextos escolares con fuerte presencia de alumnos de familia inmigrante: Propuestas de la investigación

The present contribution presents the most relevant results of a research(5) carried out between March 2006 and April 2007, by a team6 of college professors from the Department of Applied Pedagogy of the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB for its Spanish acronym) and by teachers of other levels. The research is focused on the analysis of integration models in contexts that have a strong presence of immigrants that have recently been incorporated into the educative system.We will firstly present a few aspects concerned with the design and the method used, with the goal of giving a background to the choice of the most relevant proposals presented in the second part of the paper. These proposals refer to teaching-learning processes, classroom organization, educative agents, background of center and the educative system. We will also underline the dynamics of the integration processes and the need for dealing with aspects of an emotional nature.The final goal is, therefore, to offer proposals for improvement, from the point of view of intercultural education. These proposals should facilitate the integration process by fully including students of immigrating families into the educative system.
