Interculturalism and education. Contributions to a debate between social anthropology and pedagogy

Abstract

At first, the article proposes some principles promoting an intercultural education in order to think critically over the educational frame of interculturality and its objectives, proposes, etc., in educational environments. Realising the need of reformulating its main ideas, the author stands that educational anthropology must join the search of intercultural relationships inside educational contexts while studying the learning environments. She asks for a critical and constructive recovery of those precedents existing in the studies of the transmition and enculturalisation from a transcultural point of view. Finally, she also remarks that anthropology may play a role inside educational investigation's interdisciplinary teams, solving the teacher staff's dilemmas of renewal which nowadays interculturality
imposes upon the school.
