Reflexões sobre o multiculturalismo na escola e na formação docente

Abstract

The article focuses on multiculturalism and its implications to school curriculum and teacher training courses curriculum. It presents the emergence of multicultural concerns, examines theoretical approaches and discusses principies and strategies of a multiculturally oriented education. It also analyses main challenges to multiculturalism. It is argued that despire all the tensions and questionings involved in multicultural theorizing and practice, multicultural initiatives are feasible. The tensions and questionings are even seen as favouring both the theoretical and practical development of the field.
