Abstract

The aim of this study is to find out the degree of training that future teachers have in dealing with diversity in the classroom using children's literature as a teaching resource. To this end, a comparative study has been carried out between two Specialisms taught in the Degree in Early Childhood Education in the Faculty of Education of the University of La Laguna (Tenerife): Specialism in Motivation to Reading and Specialism in Attention to Diversity. Semi-structured questionnaires have been used to carry out the comparative study of the answers of the students of both Specialisms to key dimensions, such as the knowledge; they have diversity in the classroom, as well as the use of children's literature as a resource to achieve a change in attitudes and educational progress of all the students. Finally, it has been concluded that the students do not have the knowledge, nor do they have the resources to take advantage, in their future professional experience, of the possibilities offered by children's literature as a cultural instrument for transmitting values and approaching reality.
