Contenido principal del artículo

Katia Ester Pretelt Montero

Resumen

El presente estudio de investigación buscó analizar si la enseñanza diaria y sistemática de una cultura extranjera en el contexto de un colegio bilingüe en Barranquilla constituyó un factor de riesgo para la identidad cultural local.

El objetivo de la investigación busco determinar con qué frecuencia los estudiantes utilizaban marcadores culturales extranjeros y en caracterizar como la comunidad educativa percibía estatus de la cultura extranjera.

Fuentes de datos primarios provinieron de un grupo de alumnos de quinto grado.

El estudio de investigación utilizó un enfoque cualitativo con un diseño de estudio de caso etnográfico.

Conceptos explorados en marco teórico son la cultura, el idioma, la identidad y las competencias interculturales.

Resultados de la investigación indican que los alumnos no han adoptado una identidad cultural extranjera y que la cultura local domina el contexto escolar.

Se infiere con base en los resultados que la enseñanza de una cultura extranjera no compromete necesariamente la identidad cultural local. Sin embargo, se necesita más investigación para especificar cuáles son los factores que protegieron la identidad cultural de la comunidad de la cultura extranjera.
