La exclusión educativa de niños y niñas migrantes. Estudio de caso en una unidad educativa de la ciudad de Quito

Abstract

The present research work arises from the observation in an educational unit of the city of Quito where it was possible to demonstrate educational exclusion towards migrant boys and girls. It is important to mention that in writing it was identified which are the attitudes, behavior and practices that generate exclusion towards students with different cultural diversity. The results that were obtained throughout this investigation help to demonstrate the behaviors that generate exclusion towards migrant children. The main behaviors evidenced in this work have been stigmatization, social prejudice and lack of patience on the part of teachers. It is important to state that there is also exclusion on the part of their classmates in relation to the use of the costume of their ethnic group. The aforementioned behaviors cause certain attitudes in migrant boys and girls, such as starting to be ashamed of their culture, not actively participating in the educational environment, socially excluding themselves or interacting with their classmates. This can provoke in them feelings of sadness, insecurity, fear, anxiety. It is placed as a need for pedagogical strategies to help promote educational inclusion. It is important to mention that it was possible to show that teachers in certain cases do not know how to act in the face of this problem of exclusion, for which it is necessary to implement pedagogical activities. Among those that stand out are the implementation of educational projects, the dialogue about different cultures. It seeks to promote appreciation of cultural diversity, generating respect for migrant boys and girls.
