Attention to Diversity from the Perspective of Students Doing the Masters in Secondary Education at the University of Jaén
Abstract
The aim of this study is to analyze the
perceptions of students (n=99) doing the
Master’s degree in Secondary Education
regarding attention to diversity. To do this,
we used a descriptive methodology, carrying
out data collection through an ad
hoc questionnaire. The results reveal that
students consider attention to diversity is
a duty of the school and state that fostering
attention to diversity is capable of enriching
the whole educational community.
The students also highlight they received
adequate training on attention to diversity
and therefore they perceive they are
sufficiently skilled to meet this challenge.
However, regarding this latter aspect, statistically
significant differences were observed,
with better results from students
specializing in Education and Guidance
than from those specializing in Mathematics and Computer Science.
