Abstract
Este artículo presenta un estudio de la amplia producción científica sobre la
Educación Culturalmente Relevante (ECR), un modelo pedagógico que pretende
potenciar significativamente el éxito de los estudiantes culturalmente diversos. Este
modelo, de origen norteamericano, es prácticamente desconocido en España. De ahí que las aportaciones de este trabajo puedan considerarse una verdadera novedad.
Su objetivo es doble: profundizar en el conocimiento de la ECR, cuya eficacia avalan
numerosas investigaciones empíricas, y valorar su traslación a nuestro contexto, en el
que los alumnos de origen inmigrante suelen tener un rendimiento académico promedio
más bajo que el de sus pares. Mediante el análisis de la literatura más importante
sobre la ERC, se ha podido: 1, establecer las características teóricas más importantes
de este modelo pedagógico, en relación con los de otros enfoques concomitantes y
complementarios; 2, estimar su impacto en la mejora del rendimiento del alumnado
culturalmente diverso; y 3, determinar sus posibilidades y limitaciones de traslación
a nuestro contexto. Los resultados de este trabajo ponen de manifiesto la gran potencialidad
de la ECR en la mejora de los procesos de aprendizaje de los estudiantes
culturalmente diversos. Por otro lado, se subraya la importancia de la formación inicial
y permanente del profesorado en el desarrollo de este modelo educativo, además
de sus valiosas orientaciones para la investigación pedagógica y la praxis docente.
This article presents a study of the extensive scientific production on Culturally Relevant Education (CRE), a pedagogical model that aims to significantly enhance the success of culturally diverse students. This model, of North American origin, is practically unknown in Spain. Hence, the contributions of this work can be considered a true novelty. Its objective is twofold: to deepen knowledge of the CRE, which effectiveness is supported by numerous empirical researches, and to assess its translation to our context, in which students of immigrant origin tend to have lower average academic performance than their peers. Through the analysis of the most important literature on CRE, it has been possible: 1, to establish the most important theoretical characteristics of this pedagogical model, in relation to those of other concomitant and complementary approaches; 2, to estimate its impact on the improvement of the performance of culturally diverse students; and 3, to determine its possibilities and limitations of translation to our context. The results of this work show the great potential of CRE in improving the learning processes of culturally diverse students. Moreover, the importance of initial and ongoing teacher training in the development of this educational model is stressed, in addition to its valuable guidelines for pedagogical research and teaching practice.
