    Questo studio costituisce la prima fase di un lavoro più ampio la cui i nalità è quella di contribuire al miglioramento della scuola attraverso l’identii cazione, elaborazione e dif usione di una casistica di buone pratiche scolastiche in contesti culturalmente diversi. Questa ricerca incomincia revisionando il concetto di “successi educativi” e “buone pratiche” da una doppia prospettiva: analizzando la letteratura specii ca per quanto riguarda i contributi più signii cativi degli ultimi anni sul miglioramento dell’ei cacia scolastica e, in aggiunta, analizzando le opinioni dei rappresentanti dei diversi collettivi che hanno a che fare con la materia e denominati in questo studio, “esperti” (docenti, assessori, famiglie, accademici, tecnici e agenti socioculturali). L’articolo si focalizza sulla descrizione del supporto metodologico che ci ha permesso di portare avanti questo processo di consultazione (il metodo Delphi) e sulla presentazione dei principali risultati. In dei nitiva, presentiamo i punti d’accordo e le discrepanze trovate in riferimento al concetto di “successo educativo”. Il processo Delphi sviluppato in questo lavoro è stato iterattivo e interattivo. Nel processo si è garantito l’anonimato dei partecipanti, la retro alimentazione costante e controllata e la presenza, nel risultato i nale, di tutte le opinioni individuali. Lo strumento per la raccolta d’informazione è stato il questionario. Nella prima fase di consulenza, ci sono state domande aperte che hanno permesso di fare un’analisi qualitativa delle risposte. Partendo da questa analisi abbiamo elaborato un secondo questionario di tipo scalare la cui analisi ha permesso di conoscere il grado di consenso sulle questioni sottoposte a dibattito. La ricerca del consenso e la stabilità sono stati i criteri che hanno guidato le analisi realizzate sull’informazione raccolta nelle due fasi di consultazione e anche i criteri di saturazione di questa.h is paper is the i rst stage of a broader study that intents to improve schooling ei cacy by identifying, describing and disseminating the best practices developed in Spanish schools from diverse cultural backgrounds. It reviewed two main concepts – “educational achievement” and “best school practices” – from a double perspective: i rst, analyzing the most meaningful research contributions made in this area over the last ten years; and second, taking into account the opinions of experts (teachers, educational advisors, families, students, theorists, social players…) on these subjects. h e paper had two main objectives: describing the methodological framework used in the expert consultation process (the Delphi method) and presenting the main points of consensus and discrepancy regarding the concept of “educational achievement in culturally diverse educational contexts”. h e Delphi consultation carried out was an iterative and interactive process. h e process was coni dential and special care was taken to ensure continuous feedback and representation of all individual opinions in the i nal results. Information was collected using questionnaires. In the i rst consultation round, the questionnaire included openended questions, whose responses were analyzed using a qualitative approach. A second questionnaire was designed on the basis of this information. It provided quantitative information that was useful to measure the level of agreement on the various issues discussed. h e search for consensus and stability and information saturation were the basic criteria that guided the analysis of information provided by the experts consulted

    Bilingual and intercultural strategies on transmigrant families

    El artículo presenta los resultados de una investigación cuyo objetivo fundamental ha sido analizar e identificar cuáles son las estrategias –tanto bilingües como interculturales– que despliegan familias transmigrantes hispano-germanas. La metodología que hemos seguido se instala en el enfoque biográficonarrativo, de tal manera que hemos reconstruido las etapas y proyectos migratorios de dichas familias, interesándonos por el discurso de los padres y madres a propósito de las estrategias, objetivos y teorías que subyacen a las prácticas, así como el interés que muestran por mantener y potenciar las competencias bilingües e interculturales en su cotidianidad. Una vez analizado todo el material empírico, los resultados que presentamos se organizan en torno a cuatro grandes dimensiones de análisis: a) «Prácticas bilingües», donde describimos qué estrategias siguen las familias para el fomento y potenciación del bilingüismo; b) «Teorías cotidianas sobre la interculturalidad», entendidas como aquellos discursos que se refieren a «teorías» y «niveles de análisis» sobre la percepción y aceptación de la diversidad cultural; c) una tercera denominada «Redes sociales», referida a la participación activa de los miembros del grupo familiar en redes –ya sean familiares, de ocio, laborales o de otro tipo– y que, según sus discursos, les permite fomentar y mantener la transmigración, el bilingüismo y las competencias interculturales; y, por último, d) el «Cosmopolitismo», referido a la selección de discursos de las familias que muestran motivos, valoraciones y actitudes positivas acerca de la diversidad lingüística y cultural, al margen de que éstas sean practicadas o no.This article presents the results of a research project whose aim is to analyze and identify the bilingual and intercultural strategies employed by the Spanish-German transmigrant families. Through the use of a biographical-narrative approach, we have reconstructed the migratory phases and itineraries of there families, emphasizing the parents’ underlying discourses on strategies, objectives and their subjacent theories on their children’s bilingual practices as well as on their specific interest on keeping and strengthening their children’s bilingual and intercultural competences. After presenting the analyzed empirical data, the results obtained are grouped into four broad dimensions: a) «bilingual practice», i.e. those strategies adopted by families to promote and strengthen bilingualism; b) interculturality life world theories, i.e. the ideas and levels of analysis about perceiving and accepting cultural diversity; c) «social networks», i.e. active participation in kin, labor, leisure or other social networks which, according to their discourse, foster transmigration, bilingualism and intercultural competences; and d) «cosmopolitanism» as a particular kind of discourse chosen by the interviewed families and which –without regard to their actual practices– reflect positive motives, values and attitudes identified with cultural and linguistic diversity, no matter if they are used or no
