Values and Intercultural Experiences through Picture Books
Tomé-Fernández, María; Senís-Fernández, Juan; Ruiz-Martín, Diego
Reading Teacher, v73 n2 p205-213 Sep-Oct 2019
The authors searched for picture books that are useful for intercultural education and for discovering students' perceptions about the values and intercultural experiences conveyed through the books. To do so, the authors selected two books by following established criteria and analyzed students' responses through semistructured interviews. The data were obtained after reading the books aloud to 30 fifth-grade students in a school located in the south of Spain and reflecting on the books' contents. As a main conclusion, the authors found that students' answers revealed the presence of some positive values, such as helpfulness, friendship, and empathy, through questions about the experiences of characters in the books. Thus, prejudices were dismantled and positive intercultural experiences in school were fostered.
