Inmigration in the classrooms: perjudiced perceptions of the teacher

Abstract

This work shows a research directed to analyzing the perceptions that the teachers have about the presence of the foreign pupils in the school centers. An ethnographic study made in Almería has put in evidence the need to prevent the prejudices and ethnic-cultural stereotypes that exist in the school classrooms. The ethnographic results allow to carry out a debate not only in the school community, but also in the Administrations that are responsible of offering programs of sensitization to the population in general and to the school community in particular.
