Abstract

Global developments on migration have created new challenges in many education systems with regard to the inclusion and education of students with a refugee background during the last decade. This study aims to investigate teachers’ experiences and views on teaching students with a refugee background in Greek public schools. Following a qualitative design, semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine teachers. The thematic analysis used extracted seven core themes: teachers’ first feelings, challenges in teaching students with a refugee background, positive experiences from teaching students with a refugee background, facilitations for students with a refugee background, refugee-background students’ difficulties, teaching methods, and recommendations. Overall, the results revealed that despite their positive experiences, teachers have also experienced numerous challenges in teaching students with a refugee background due to various reasons that can be attributed to micro, meso, and macro level factors. Based on teachers’ recommendations, this study argues for the need for structural improvements in the Greek education system to further support the inclusion of students with a refugee background.

教师对在希腊教授有难民背景学生的看法
过去十年间,全球移民问题的发展给许多教育系统在接纳和教育有难民背景的学生方面带来了新的挑战。本研究旨在调查希腊公立学校教师在教授有难民背景的学生方面的经验和观点。采用定性设计,对九名教师进行了半结构化访谈。采用的主题分析法提取了七个核心主题:教师的第一感受、教授难民背景学生的挑战、教授难民背景学生的积极经验、为难民背景学生提供的便利、难民背景学生的困难、教学方法和建议。总体而言,研究结果表明,尽管教师们有积极的经验,但由于微观、中观和宏观层面的各种因素,他们在教授有难民背景的学生时也遇到了许多挑战。根据教师的建议,本研究认为希腊教育系统需要进行结构性改进,以进一步支持难民背景学生的融入。
