Identity and socio-educational responsibilities of the educational mediator and the intercultural mediator: towards a clarification of functions

Identidad y responsabilidades socioeducativas del mediador escolar y del mediador intercultural: hacia una clarificación de funciones

Ediciones Complutense 2013-01-23

It is a well-known fact that the demand for professional mediators will increase in their two characteristic fields of work, that is in schools and in intercultural education. The aims of this article will be to identify their distinctive responsibilities. While there can be no doubt that differences exist, their identification could well prove to be an impediment to the understanding of their performance as there also are, indeed, important identical aspects of their socio-educational responsibilities. The authors of this article employ the comparative method in order to demonstrate that both workplace studies (school mediator and cultural mediator) are compatible with one another.
El presente artículo reconoce que, ante la creciente presencia en escenarios socioeducativos de la figura profesional del mediador en los dos ámbitos principales relacionados con la educación (el escolar y el intercultural), deben identificarse los rasgos idiosincrásicos de cada uno de ellos, lo que no es óbice para reconocer cómo, a pesar de que existen, en efecto, diferencias en la definición de estos dos modelos de mediación, se evidencian aspectos coincidentes que los vinculan a un tronco común: las competencias y responsabilidades socioeducativas que adquieren cada uno de ellos. Las autoras del artículo aplican la metodología comparada para demostrar ambas realidades compatibles en las figuras del mediador escolar y el mediador intercultural, respectivamente.
