| Sumario: | Discussing intercultural competences in Brazilian higher education presupposes a look at the cultural aspects and the process of developing competences, as well as interlacing with discussions about other topics. The predominance of "archaic monocultural formats" that reproduce various forms of racism or even an environment based on a functional interculturality in this context instigates us to nurture reflections on its evolution. In addition, skills are a fundamental theme in the educational environment, since preparing students for the global world is already more than a reality. This research sought to analyze the perception of the students regarding the concept of intercultural competences and competences (CI) and their practices in a Brazilian public university. The way forward was a field research, qualitative, case study, using questionnaire and Discursive Textual Analysis (DAT). The main results brought theoretical confirmation of the predominance in Brazil of the concept of competences as input and the concept of intercultural competences (polysemic) as a branch of it. There emerged from the discourses, essential elements (context, social actors and practices) for the development of intercultural competences in higher education, as well as four categories that could influence the improvement of this process: Concept of competences and concept of intercultural competences; practices for the promotion of IC in university and university environment. Dealing with intercultural competences in Brazilian higher education. |
