INTERCULTURAL EDUCATION IN THE CLASSROOM: TEACHERS AND ICT

Currently our society shows a diversity that moves to the classroom, where not all students are the same, differentiating themselves in aspects such as their culture. In recent years, the number of immigrant students has grown considerably in schools, and the education system must offer a response based on intercultural competence. In this paper we will analyze the opinions of teachers on the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to address intercultural competence in the classroom. Seeking to know the perception that teachers have about how intercultural competence is worked in the classrooms using the questionnaire (Rodriguez, 2015). The results on the intercultural competence indicate a greater conception in those professors who teach in both educational stages (Infantile and Primary), a great valuation by the teachers to attend to other cultures in the classroom, and a positive relationship between the years of work experience and the confrontation of intercultural competence in the classroom. Professors value positively the use of ICT in the classroom, pretending to work intercultural competence to respond to the social demand of schools.
