Inclusion, multiculturalism and school connection: reconsidering teacher education through student’s video generation

Abstract

This paper presents a reflection on the necessity of designing inclusive educational practices, not only at school, but at Education Faculties, too. The interaction between schools and education faculties is, without any doubt, crucial for both institutions, especially for future teachers who will be able to improve their skills working closely with in-service teachers and schoolchildren. Through a video self-generation experience, students from the Teacher Training and Education Faculty, University of Oviedo, Spain, learn how to design didactic videos for school audiences with an inclusive and multicultural perspective. The objectives of the experience are focused on developing student teachers´ professional skills, especially, communicative, cooperative, and multicultural abilities for this new globalized era, and also intensifying the relationship among primary, secondary and tertiary educational stages.
