Abstract

University higher education is home to people from diverse cultures, a phenomenon intensified by globalization. Panama does not escape from this phenomenon as it is a multicultural country. With the objective of evaluating the perception of students and professors on the attention to multiculturalism in the curriculum of the bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education at the University of Panama, Regional University Center of Azuero, this non-experimental, descriptive, and transversal study was conducted. A survey was applied to forty-five students and 14 professors. The respondents perceive that not enough attention is paid to multiculturalism and that there is no active participation between cultures. In addition, they point out shortcomings in the related areas. Therefore, they suggest implementing multicultural strategies in the explicit training curriculum, to be successful in the planning and development of the curriculum in the classroom.
