Resumen

La amplia incidencia del fracaso escolar en determinados grupos minoritarios sólo puede ser entendida desde un enfoque multidimensional. En este artículo se aborda una de estas dimensiones, el rol del contexto escolar en la construcción de la identidad. Para ello, desde una perspectiva ecológica y cultural, se adopta el concepto bakhtiniano de lenguajes sociales y se analizan los procesos de privilegiación de los mismos en la escuela. La investigación consiste en el análisis del discurso de maestros acerca de sus alumnos en escuelas en las que la mitad o más de la población pertenecen a la etnia gitana, y el resto forman parte de familias inmigrantes. El material obtenido en grupos focales se analiza mediante la herramienta ATLAS. ti. Se hallan dos tipos de discurso, el que privilegia un único lenguaje social y el que no lo hace, y se discuten sus diferentes impactos en la inclusión educativa en la escuela intercultural.

Abstract

The widespread incidence of school failure in some minority groups can only be understood from a multidimensional approach. This article addresses one of these dimensions: the role of school context on identity construction. To do so, from an ecological and cultural perspective, the Bakhtinian concept of social languages is adopted and their privilegiation processes in school are analysed. This research study examines teachers' talk about their students —in schools where half or more of the children are Roma—and the rest come from immigrant families. The material obtained from focus groups is analysed using the software tool ATLAS. ti. The results showed there were two types of discourse: one which privileges only one social language and another which does not; and their different impacts on the inclusion of intercultural education in school are discussed.
