In the year 2010 there was a diagnostic project done in the P'urépecha community of Arantepacua (Municipality of Nahuatzen, State of Michoacán), which showed that Bilingual Intercultural Elementary Schools have been unable to train their students in the process of interculturality. In most cases, this has happened because of their inability to understand fully what interculturality is all about, and therefore, they haven't had the appropriate tools in pedagogy that allow them to teach their school material from an intercultural focus. Because of these results, a process of Research-Action-Participation (Investigación- Acción-Participativa, IAP, for its initials in Spanish) has been designed, based on the Intercultural Inductive Model generated by Jorge Gasché (2008) and María Bertely (2009). This model is being used at this time with 30 teachers that work with the two elementary schools of Arantepacua. The general objective of the project consists in developing among the elementary school teachers in Arantepacua, the intercultural practice, discourse, and attitudes necessary, so that they, in turn, can implement the strategies that promote interculturality among their students. The IAP process is operated using two complementary strategies: a formal training in teaching education in interculturality and an instructor tutorial program. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
