ANCA, Maria Helena. Portuguese education in multicultural contexts – a study based on teachers’ training reports. Educação. Porto Alegre [online]. 2021, vol.44, n.1, e32812. Epub July 20, 2021. ISSN 1981-2582. https://doi.org/10.15448/1981-2582.2021.1.32812.
Portuguese society, like other European societies, became multicultural, a phenomenon that extended to School. Thus, and starting from plural school contexts, we intended to analyze how seven students from a Masters in Teaching at the University A developed their empirical study in Basic School (BS) where they carried out a Pedagogical Internship: thematics, methodological options and contributions to Portuguese Education. The final product of this work is configured as the Teachers’ Training Reports or Master’s Report. The results point to themes closer to linguistic and cultural diversity and less to the reflection on Portuguese; the methodological options are qualitative; finally, the study emphasizes the importance attributed to the language factor by the BS’s pupils, that is, their perceptions about languages (known/ unknown language, near /distant language) tend to approach or alienate foreign pupils.
Keywords : education in portuguese; immigration; linguistic and cultural diversity; teachers’ training reports.
