Popis: Nowadays, in a plural and diverse society, schools are characterized by their heterogeneous population as a result of different origins and levels of cultural awareness. This social transformation entails putting into practice the competencies of schoolteachers in order to provide the companionship and integration between students. This paper aims to define and understand students’ perceptions about development, command and relevance in specific competencies of the primary education degree at the University of Murcia. 319 last year students of this degree have taken part in this study by means of an ad hoc questionnaire. Finally, we conclude that the formation of these competencies that are involved in cultural diversity from learning communities should be increased.
