The Incorporation of Foreign Students into the Classroom: Assessment of Teachers and Families

This research is part of an educational project†, developed in Infant and Primary schools in Murcia, with a purpose to examine the appraisal of teachers and families involved in the integration of foreign students into the classroom. To achieve this, a mixed methodology was followed, using a questionnaire and debate groups for researching. The results obtained in both groups showed that educational work is mainly affected by the incorporation of these students into the classroom. Furthermore, opinions are divided on whether such incorporation affects educational achievement in a positive or a negative way.
