Abstract

The reduction of racial prejudice is an important challenge of intercultural education. Thus, the aim of this study was to analyze racial prejudice, as well as the different profiles and the possible educational implications in secondary school students. A total of 327 third form students completed the scales of blatant and subtle prejudice and also a scale of emotions towards North Africans. The results showed significant levels of subtle prejudice and four profiles of racial prejudice, with a low number of students showing equalitarian tendencies. A multivariate analysis showed significant differences in prejudice depending on social distance as well as the academic level of the participants’ families. Finally, we discuss the results from the perspective of intercultural education and we suggest some lines of intervention in order to promote the integration of students from different cultures.

Resumen

La reducción del prejuicio racial constituye uno de los principales retos de la educación intercultural. En esta línea, el presente estudio pretende analizar el prejuicio racial, así como sus perfiles y sus posibles implicaciones educativas en alumnos de Educación Secundaria. Un total de 327 estudiantes de 3º de ESO cumplimentaron las escalas de prejuicio manifiesto y sutil y una escala de emociones hacia los magrebíes. Los resultados mostraron considerables niveles de prejuicio sutil, así como cuatro perfiles de prejuicio racial con un bajo número de alumnos con tipología igualitaria. El análisis multivariante detectó diferencias significativas en el prejuicio según la distancia social y el nivel académico de las familias de los participantes. Finalmente, se discuten los resultados a la luz de los postulados de la educación intercultural y se sugieren algunas medidas en aras a favorecer la integración de alumnos de diferentes culturas.
