The Concepts of Multi and Interculturality and their Contribution in the Implementation of Philosophy and History Curriculum in Action

Abstract

As a result of the Globalization processes, in recent years, the issue of multi and interculturality has been increasingly placed. Since this is a complex theme, the relationship between the two focuses on the importance of the relationship. We are asking ourselves about the diversity and the way in which it contributes to the implementation of the curriculum in action that is the subject of our study: The curriculum in action of Philosophy and History in Morrumbene, Moçambique. We focus our reflection on how the teaching of Philosophy and History in Mozambique is still guided by the curriculum elaborated superiorly, without taking into account the diversity of cultures that cohabit in the same geographic space. We refer to the phenomenon of multiculturalism, which conceives the coexistence of several cultures in the same localized spaceseeking to favor the dialogue to which they challenge us; thus we also invoke the concept of interculturalism as the interaction between cultures. The challenge to the teachers of Philosophy and History is to adapt the curriculum in action to the local reality and, in this way develop strategies for the valorization of the sociocultural differences of human groups, taking as a contribution of multi / intercultural studies. It is the observation of the reality of Morrumbene that motivates us to choose the theme of this article with the aim of inviting the professors of Philosophy and History to take advantage of the coexistence of diverse cultures and to integrate them in the development curricular and in the didactic process, in order to connect the 'Global' and the structuring learning with the learning of informal and non-formal contexts that the different students have.
