- The increase in racist behavior requires a study that can identify ways to help develop the degree of intercultural sensitivity from an early stage. Therefore, this study seeks to compare the degree of intercultural sensitivity of primary school students in bilingual education (with CLIL methodology) with those in non-bilingual education. The aim is to determine whether bilingual teaching using CLIL methodology contributes to a greater development of the degree of intercultural sensitivity in relation to non-bilingual and traditional teaching. For this purpose, a non-experimental descriptive study was developed for a sample of 252 students. The findings show a moderate degree of intercultural sensitivity among students, without any significant differences in terms of gender. It is observed how, as age increases, the degree of sensitivity decreases, which is a sample of the problems of formal education in relation to intercultural education. On the other hand, there are differences in the degree of sensitivity between bilingual and non-bilingual students. Finally, future lines of research are established.
