Abstract(s)
Na Região Autónoma da Madeira (RAM), assim como um pouco por todo o país, as escolas estão a receber cada vez mais crianças vindas de outros países, consequência deste mundo global em que nós vivemos. Cabe a estas instituições estarem preparadas para receber esses imigrantes e ajudarem as crianças em geral a viverem a interculturalidade no seu dia-a-dia. Neste estudo, pretendeu-se verificar se os educadores de infância fomentam a educação para a interculturalidade nas crianças que têm nas suas salas e suas famílias, de que forma o fazem e se recorrem às Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação (TIC) para fazê-lo. Aos educadores caberá certamente a função de oferecer às crianças que têm na sala um ambiente que proporcione o contacto com outras culturas e que estimule o desenvolvimento de competências e atitudes para lidar com a diversidade cultural. No estudo empírico realizado, foi adotada uma metodologia de caráter misto, com o recurso a inquéritos por questionário enviados a todos os educadores de infância das salas pré-escolares públicas da região. Realizamos também entrevistas a um conjunto de educadores com mais crianças estrangeiras e/ou de diferentes culturas nas suas salas, a dois coordenadores de projetos e dois encarregados de educação estrangeiros e efetuamos ainda uma observação não participante retratando uma prática facilitadora de adaptação de crianças estrangeiras numa sala de pré-escolar.
Verificou-se que a interculturalidade, apesar de em crescente ascensão nas salas de pré-escolar da Região, nem sempre é abordada de forma aprofundada e com a atenção que requer, principalmente no que toca ao recurso às TIC, que é pouco desenvolvido. Devemos considerar que, além de pensar a interculturalidade, além de falar da interculturalidade, devemos viver a interculturalidade, tornando-a algo normal e com a qual convivemos no quotidiano acima de tudo.
In the Autonomous Region of Madeira, as well as throughout the country, the schools are receiving more and more children from other countries as a result of this global world in which we live. It is up to these institutions to be prepared to receive these immigrants and to help children in general to live a daily interculturality. This study aimed to verify if childhood educators foment intercultural education in children in their classrooms and their families, how they do it, if they resort to Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to do so. Educators will certainly have the role of providing children in the classroom with an environment that provides contact with other cultures and stimulates the development of skills and attitudes to deal with cultural diversity. In the empirical study performed, a mixed methodology was adopted, using questionnaires surveys send to all educators of the region's public preschool classrooms. We also did interviews to a group of educators with more foreign children and / or from different cultures in their classrooms, to two project coordinators and two foreign parents, as well as a non-participant observation portraying a facilitating practice of a foreign children adaptation in a preschool room. Interculturality, although increasing in preschool classrooms in the Region, is not always approached in depth and with the attention it requires, especially in relation to the use of ICT, which is poorly developed. We must consider that in addition to thinking interculturality, besides talking about interculturality, we must live interculturality above all, making it something normal and with which we live in daily life.
