The university context is a privileged space for intercultural training of future professionals in education, a stage where approaching theoretical models and practical, useful and effective strategies to cultivate in the young students of the university degrees of education desire to understand and develop intercultural in their future teaching activities. However, studies in the University classroom, to detect attitudes and educational conceptions to multiculturalism and cultural diversity have been scarce. In this article show the most relevant results from a recent comparative study within the framework of the educational innovation project called “Building interculturality and culture of diversity in the University context” (PIE15-31) conducted with University students in 1st and 4th year of the degree of primary of the faculties of Education Sciences of the University Public of Navarre and Malaga University.

(Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, 2019) Peñalva Vélez, Alicia; Leiva Olivencia, Juan José; Ciencias Humanas y de la Educación; Giza eta Hezkuntza Zientziak
La sociedad red actual y el sistema educativo del siglo XXI demandan una formación específica para el profesorado, centrada en la capacitación del mismo para la atención a la diversidad cultural e identitaria. En el ámbito educativo se entiende que el modelo intercultural es el más adecuado para gestionar la diversidad, y formar a la ciudadanía crítica. Los objetivos de este estudio son definir qué son las metodologías activas (cooperativa y colaborativa), y definir su función en el marco de la formación del profesorado para la interculturalidad. De esta forma se podrá garantizar que la formación sea: de tipo técnico-pedagógica, de tipo procedimental y/o metodológica, centrada en el aprendizaje activo del alumnado, y en un enfoque de la enseñanza basado en el aprendizaje por competencias. Todos ellos aspectos básicos para la formación del profesorado para la interculturalidad.

La competencia investigativa es fundamental para construir una cultura científica básica. Trabajarla desde la primera infancia contribuye a desarrollar la capacidad de elaborar explicaciones a partir de la indagación y la construcción teórica. La mayoría de las investigaciones sobre la competencia investigativa del profesorado se enfocan desde un plano teórico. El objetivode este trabajoes analizar las percepciones de 208 alumnos del Grado de Maestro sobre su propia competencia investigativa y contrastarlas con su desempeño real. Las percepciones se valoran mediante un cuestionario que tomaen cuenta las habilidades y destrezas vinculadasa la competencia investigativa, ajustadas enuna escala Likert. El desempeñose midióa partir de cuatro tareas que responden a los tipos de pensamiento exigidos para el desarrollo de esta competencia: comprensivo, crítico, creativo y metacognitivo. Los resultados muestran que el alumnado no es consciente de sus carencias ni de sus necesidades formativas, lo que es imprescindible para aprender a aprender.

Digital competence is one of the 8 key competences for life-long learning developed by the European Commission, and is requisite for personal fulfilment and development, active citizenship, social inclusion and employment in the knowledge society. To accompany young learners in the development of the competence, it is necessary that parents and teachers are, in turn, literate. The level of Teacher Digital Competence of 43 Secondary School teachers in initial training was evaluated using the Common Framework, a series of rubrics for 21 sub-competences in 5 areas. The overall level of competence was low (Basic). Students scored highest in Information, which refers mostly to the operations they performed while students. Secondly, in Safety and Communication, excluding Protection of Digital Data and preservation of the Digital Identity. Lowest values were achieved in Content Creation and Problem Solving, the dimensions most closely related with the inclusion of ICTs to transform teaching-learning processes. The knowledge or skills they exhibit are largely self-taught and, so, we perceive an urgent need to purposefully incorporate relational and didactic aspects of ICT integration.

Violent behaviors in primary education: evolution from 9 to 12 years old as a function of gender
(Wiley, 2024) López-Goñi, José Javier; Haro Escribano, Begoña; Peñalva Vélez, Alicia; Vega Osés, María Asunción; Ciencias de la Salud; Osasun Zientziak; Ciencias Humanas y de la Educación; Giza eta Hezkuntza Zientziak; Institute for Advanced Social Research - ICOMMUNITAS
The objectives of this study were to establish the frequency of violent behaviors present in primary education (PE), to determine differences based on students' grade and gender, and to assess the evolution of behaviors between the fourth and sixth grades of PE. The research design was a cohort longitudinal ex post facto study with three measures. Data was collected at three different moments across fourth, fifth, and sixth grades of PE. The sample was composed of all the students of three public centers located in three localities of Autonomous Community of Navarra (Northern Spain). The centers had to present similar characteristics to each other and to the population of Navarra. The first three centers contacted agreed to participate. The sample was composed of 236 students (110 girls) in PE. Students completed the instrument School Violence Questionnaire-Revised. A descriptive analysis, a bivariate analysis, and a logistic regression model were performed. A gradual increase in the perception of different violent behaviors with differences between boys and girls was found. In fourth grade, there was hardly any perception of information and communication technology-related violence; it then increased until sixth grade. Boys perceived more violence from teachers toward students and among peers. Girls perceived more violent behavior between fourth and fifth grade. Preventive interventions targeting digital violence should be developed at this stage. Considering the differences found according to gender and age, it is highlighted the need to train the educative community in different areas, such as emotional competencies, school coexistence, and the detection and prevention of violent behavior.
