Abstract

The purpose of the research is to analyze the social representations about the interculturality of a group of five preschooler professors and the way how this is affected in their pedagogical practices with the children (boys and girls) of the preschool grade in the Luis Carlos Galán educative institution (from now E.I), located in the commune four (4), Altos de Cazucá in the municipality of Soacha. This project developed in the perspective of articulation with the research carried out in the project: Childrenof Bogotá: between the desire of politics and the reality of institutional practices, in which, it investigated among others aspects, the way teachers have incorporated in their pedagogical practices the principles and proposals of current educative policies for children, including those related to interculturality. The theoretical fundamentals retake the comprehensions of the social representations, cultural and interculturality, intercultural education, and pedagogical practices in the educative context of infancy. On the other hand, the methodological fundamentals were cemented from the paradigm of the qualitative investigation with an interpretative approach, with the support of associative and interrogative techniques, from which instruments such as the semistructured interview and the associative letter were designed proposed by J. C. Abric.
