Multiculturalism and visual historical literacy: Spanish future teachers’ narratives

Abstract

The framework of this study is the visual literacy. This text studies the narratives of a group of students of the Bachelor Degree in Primary Education in the University of Cordoba (Spain) who had to analyse a photograph of a street in a Nepalese city. The analysis of the 20 cases shows that the students have a eurocentric point of view and that they extrapolate their own lifestyle to the Nepalese society. As they will become teachers, it is vital to work now on these ideas in order to make them familiar with the empathy and multiculturality.
