Analysis of the Narratives with Characters That Make Ethnic Diversity Visible¿ Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir
2023
This study follows the line of different authors who examined the visibility of ethnic diversity in children's television series and the psychoeducational implications of these media narratives for children. Specifically, this work analyses the behaviours/actions developed by the model characters of cultural diversity and how these characters promote a perspective on diversity that conditions children. Employing a qualitative methodology, we use content analysis and critical discourse analysis as tools to be able to read, describe and interpret said content. The results highlight that these children's programmes present a culture that reinforces certain values and behaviours. Likewise, the …
Managerial Ability, Players’ Cultural Diversity, and Sporting and Economic Performance in English Soccer
2012
We use a large homemade database on professional soccer in England to estimate the relevance of managerial ability on performance and the managerial skills in keeping up cultural diversity. The team manager faces a set of very complex tasks. Not only he is the head coach of the soccer team, thus influencing sporting performance, but he can also have an impact on performance, by improving economic efficiency or by limiting the organization innovation in order to foster the creation of organizational routines. The sporting competitive advantage translates into economic and financial performance; therefore the manager is a dominant voice in the financial viability of the club, too. We also mea…
Lenguajes y culturas en contacto
2007
Starting from the concept of intercultural competence proposed by the Council of Europe (1998) and on the basis of the new curricula of the Instituto Cervantes Plan Curricular (2006), in this handbook the authors develop learning activities about Spanish for specific purposes, to find new forms of linguistic transactions and meaning negotiation, to guide students to discover the social dimension of both languages : Legal and Adminitsrative (Dr. Sinatra) and Tourism (Dr. Di Gesù). The text consists of a first theoretical part, by Dr. Sinatra, and a practical part, by both authors, with six units, each of which consists of texts on the different types of language. In the first chapter of the …
INTEGRACIÓN SOCIAL, DERECHO A LA DIFERENCIA Y RELACIONES JURÍDICO-PRIVADAS INTERNACIONALES
2011
RESUMEN. En las actuales sociedades multiculturales, el gran reto es la convivencia pacífica entre las personas extranjeras e inmigrantes y la población autóctona a través del reconocimiento del “derecho a la diferencia”, para conseguir una verdadera igualdad jurídica en derechos. En este contexto, el nuevo DIPr de la inmigración desempeña una nueva función basada en el diálogo (ius communicationis) entre los distintos ordenamientos en presencia, interpretando sus normas (de conflicto) a través del “método de reconocimiento”, que consiste en considerar que el principio de la integración social es una función del referido sistema, de tal forma que se logre el reconocimiento de las relacione…
Repensant la formació inicial del professorat per a la diversitat lingüística i cultural a l'aula
2011
Durant les últimes dècades els sistemes educatius europeus estan fent front a nombrosos reptes relacionats amb el tractament de la diversitat cultural i lingüística de l’alumnat. Per tal de poder afrontar aquesta diversitat es fa necessari impulsar plantejaments globals que s’adrecin al conjunt de la població amb la finalitat de construir una societat cohesionada. A l’article exposem algunes de les principals dificultats relatives a la formació inicial del professorat en quan a la gestió i al tractament de la diversitat lingüística i cultural, així com diferents projectes i enfocaments que pretenen establir noves directrius per a la seva formació competencial.

La dimensión social del lenguaje como una oportunidad educativa para la promoción del diálogo intercultural en el aula de Educación Superior
2021
[EN] For some time, it has been considered the need to approach the educational experience to the student sociocultural reality in the context of a classroom in Higher Education. This need is even more evident in the context of international exchange programs, in which the main objective is precisely to provide a space for mutual enrichment between the student's culture of origin and the host culture. In this sense, the “Grup d’Acompanyament Lingüístic” (GRUPal) works to promote the intercultural dialogue that inevitably and spontaneously takes place in and outside the classroom. The purpose of this paper is to present a didactic intervention based on inclusion and cooperative exchange as w…
Application of the CIPP model in the study of factors that promote intercultural sensitivity
2012
The present study proposes a group of factors (related to self, context and process) favouring the development of intercultural sensitivity. A social diagnosis was performed in the Spanish province of Castellón in order to identify these factors by means of a correlational study. A non-probabilistic but representative sample consisting of 995 people from 37 different countries living in this province was used. Data were collected by means of an adaptation of the scale proposed by Chen and Starosta (2000) for the assessment of intercultural sensitivity. Results showed four profiles, and their main characteristics were studied. Variables such as country of origin, gender, academic background,…
Unitat didàctica : Unió Europea : fortificació o cooperació?
2012
Les reflexions sobre l'educació i les consideracions didàctiques presentades en aquest TFM, són resultat d'un any de treball al Màster de Professorat en l'UV. Reflexions necessàries abans d'entrar a un aula ja què plantjar-se quin és el paper del professor en l'educació no sempre ha estat tasca obligatòria, almenys a nivell formal. Cal saber allò que volem, quins són els objectius de l'educació per a utilitzar el mètode que facilite aconseguir-los. I aquest no és altre que el mètode constructivista i què podrà aplicar-se de manera general si aconseguim introduir la innovació educativa a les escoles. Aquest treball de reflexió s'ha intentat aplicar en aquesta unitat didàctica sobre la “Unió …
