Asumiendo la diferencia cultural en la escuela. una experiencia en el colegio Orlando Higuita Rojas Sede B, grado tercero

Abstract

The intention of this research has been the clarification and generation of other experiences and pedagogical strategies for working with children in the face of cultural differences in school. We have started from what happens in the school, especially in the Orlando Higuita Rojas (OHR) school, headquarters B, where it is recognized that cultural difference exists as a key element of institutional life, but there are no clarities on how to approach it, to provide to the children who provide a welcoming and supportive learning environment from different regions of the country or abroad, allowing them to interact, confident that in this city they can rebuild their lives in a respectful coexistence with difference. Different authors turn to understand from the theory, the phenomena that are established in the school, for this a conceptual path is drawn, understood by the definition of culture, school culture, social culture, cultural difference and intercultural pedagogy. It is imperative for education, the healthy coexistence in the school and the reinforcement of the integral development of the boys and girls who inhabit our classrooms, rethinking education and school on the horizon of cultural difference that inhabits us, this being the challenge to teachers and educational institutions. The dynamics of societies are increasingly changing, more specific, the school requires thinking, researching and acting to build educational proposals in line with the uncertainty of the times we live and the challenges that are proposed to us. In this sense, the construction of intercultural pedagogies that address both the curriculum and daily life in school spaces from the recognition of cultural difference, is a possibility to give way to another school.
