Abstract

Introduction: This research carries out a comparative analysis of the perceptions regarding cultural diversity of adolescents from two public high schools in Algeciras (Cádiz), one with a high presence of students from Morocco and the other, on the contrary, with a minimal presence of this student body. Methodology: A questionnaire composed of four blocks (perceptions of cultural diversity, considerations on cultural diversity, considerations on aspects related to the processes of construction of their identities and vision of the future) was administered to 275 adolescents between 14 and 18 years of age. Results: There is a positive relationship between the experience of cultural diversity in the educational centre and the positive perception of it. Discussion: Living in a multicultural border environment does not seem to influence cultural identity. Pupils in the segregated school feel less identified with Spanish culture and less European, with religion being a significantly more important issue in the construction of their identities. Conclusions: In order to advance in the construction of a more intercultural society, we must make progress in the sense of belonging of segregated pupils and in reducing the perception of conflictive interculturality of pupils in the non-segregated school.
