FERRADA, Donatila. Teacher Education for Diversity: Proposals from the Region of Biobío, Chile. RMIE [online]. 2017, vol.22, n.74, pp.783-811. ISSN 1405-6666.

Teacher education in Latin America needs to reflect a society that increasingly recognizes the cultural, linguistic, and territorial diversity that is present in the region. This study focuses on such a requirement by analyzing two proposals for teacher education in the region of Biobío, in Chile; one proposal was created by in-service teachers, and the other was developed by a university. The study used dialogical-kishu kimkelay ta che research, conforming a community of in-service teachers, teacher educators, institutional designers, and student teachers. The results reveal the profound differences between the two proposals and among the groups of actors in teacher education, with regard to topics involving indigenous culture and language, vulnerability, adversity, student teacher supervisors, and student teaching.

Keywords : curriculum; teacher education; multicultural education; indigenous education; sociocultural context.
