This is a quantitative, descriptive and exploratory research, based on survey. For this study, there were selected a group of 68 students that were attending online learning courses in a higher education institution, these students answered a survey through an online form. The results show us that a high percent of students consider themselves proficient in the two subcompetences defined as: efficacy between diverse cultures and, development of the understanding and respect of differences and diversity.
