Resumen
La sociedad contemporánea se caracteriza por un entramado de relaciones interculturales que ha reclamado y ocupado a instituciones internacionales e investigadores. La educación ha sido el principal espacio desde el que se han articulado propuestas a nivel internacional, aunque gradualmente han emergido estudios desde un enfoque psicosocial. En Cuba, por ser las universidades el principal contexto intercultural, ha devenido la educación superior el espacio desde donde se han desarrollado las intervenciones pioneras de un enfoque educativo, identificándose la Universidad Central “Marta Abreu de Las Villas” como uno de los contextos que con mayor sistematicidad se han realizado propuestas. Sin embargo el abordaje de las relaciones interculturales desde un enfoque psicosocial ha estado ausente de los proyectos investigativos y de transformación social en el contexto cubano.
Realidad que condujo al planteamiento como objetivo general de la investigación conocer estereotipos configurados en estudiantes extranjeros de la Universidad Central “Marta Abreu” de Las Villas en sus relaciones interculturales. Se asumió una concepción epistemológica de segundo orden que articuló un enfoque metodológico cualitativo y se siguió diseño fenomenológico.
Como principales resultados se determinaron dos núcleos de sentidos configuradores de estereotipos en estudiantes extranjeros: percepción de los grupos etnoculturales y discriminación por la pertenencia etnocultural. Asimismo se comprendieron los efectos del proceso de categorización social en la dinámica de configuración de estereotipos y se identificaron niveles de presencia de las creencias en la configuración de estereotipos.
The contemporary society is characterized by a wooden framework of intercultural relations that has got the attention of international institutions and researches. Although studies have gradually emerged from a psychosocial approach, education has been the main space where proposals at international level have been designed. Because of universities in Cuba are the main intercultural context, the Higher Education has become the space where pioneering interventions have been developed from an educative approach, and Universidad Central “Marta Abreu” de Las Villas have been identified as one of the contexts where proposals have systematically been carried out. However the study of approach has not been present in the social transformation research projects in the Cuban context. This fact led to set out the overall objective of the research: to meet configured stereotypes on foreign students of Universidad Central “Marta Abreu” de Las Villas in their intercultural relations. It was adopted a second order epistemological conception that created a qualitative methodological approach and then it was followed a phenomenological design. Two cores of configurations senses of stereotypes on foreign students were determined as the main results. They were the perception of ethno- cultural membership. Likewise it was included the effects of the social categorization process in the dynamic of configuration of stereotypes as well as the identification of presence ´s configuration.
