Teacher Education for Citizenship in a Globalized World: A Case Study in Spain.

Abstract: Considering the attention that global citizenship education has recently received, it is not much of a surprise that teacher education programs and courses along the world are including stated goals related to the preparation of teachers to educate their students for global and participatory citizenship. This is also the case of the Faculty of Education at the University of Cantabria (Spain). This study explores how a group of teacher educators from this university conceptualize citizenship education, if they include global perspectives in their notions and how they educate for democracy in an increasingly globalized world. Although teacher education can contribute to challenge pre-service teachers’ perceptions of the nation state as the only locus for democracy and citizenry, the inclusion of global perspectives done by these teacher educators has been very limited. Also, the participants that were more globally concerned were those who had a stronger sense of social justice.

El conocimiento socio-geográfico en la escuela: las tensiones inherentes a la transmisión institucionalizada de cultura y los dilemas de la educación para la democracia en este mundo globalizado

Abstract: La actualizacion cientifica de los contenidos escolares es imprescindible en estos tiempos de cambio acelerado, pero no agota en absoluto la discusion sobre el curriculum social deseable para la escuela del siglo XXI. La mirada que reduce las asignaturas escolares a la condicion de mero vehiculo (mas o menos rezagado) de unos u otros paradigmas academicos adolece de importantes lagunas. En primer lugar, esa mirada no alcanza a vislumbrar la peculiar naturaleza del conocimiento impartido en una institucion especifica de socializacion, tal como se pondra de relieve mediante el analisis sociogenetico de una solucion curricular que alcanzo un exito relativo en la educacion primaria: el estudio del medio. En segundo lugar, pasa por alto la necesidad de revisar en profundidad la funcion social de la cultura transmitida, una tarea ineludible si en verdad queremos prestar un servicio a una educacion democratica merecedora de ese calificativo.

INNODOCT/17. International conference on innovation,documentation and education

Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of the 62 universities in Ecuador that are in the web ranking of universities, in order to evaluate the use of digital media and obtain information on the management of university e-branding. The study explores, to a large extent, the digital variables currently used for broadcasting and we include the resources of two indexed databases as a dissemination flow. All this data has been analyzed through statistics and web performance tools. The results indicate the universities in Ecuador do not present a clear use of the academic e-branding as a strategy of dissemination, exposure, and visibility improvement to increase their ranking level. However, it is clear that some have demonstrated the relevance of the uses of these systems to improve their worldwide level spread.

La Formación del Profesorado y el discurso de las competencias

Abstract: Si la discusion y las decisiones relacionadas con la formulacion de los perfiles profesionales han tenido poca incidencia real sobre las practicas de formacion, y si ademas tales formulaciones en sus diferentes formatos de presentacion ?estandares, competencias, niveles, etcetera? se ven sometidos a interpretaciones dispares, la cuestion del debate sobre la profesionalizacion docente probablemente deba ser planteada en otros terminos. Desde el punto de vista del autor lo que hay detras y en el fondo del debate sobre la formacion del profesorado es una teoria del sujeto y una teoria del conocimiento, y una teoria de la relacion entre ambos. Pero esto es tambien decir una teoria del poder, pues como se gobierna el razonamiento sobre esa relacion entre sujeto y conocimiento tiene mucho que ver con el campo de las relaciones sociales. Y todo ello nos remite necesariamente a una pregunta y una respuesta etica. En el debate actual sobre competencias profesionales lo que aqui se subraya como relevante es la disposicion estrategica del lenguaje en un campo institucional para reforzar o articular determinados dispositivos de poder y control. De que se habla y de que se deja de hablar, quien habla, desde donde, en que marco de relaciones historicamente mediadas, son preguntas metodicas en la analitica discursiva.

Research on the History of Education Inspection in Spain. Balance and Perspectives

Abstract: With this work on the history of the education inspection in Spain, we set two objectives. On the one hand, compile and evaluate the historiographical production made up to the present. On the other, to raise new topics and research perspectives for future education historians. Most of the historical works on inspection have been written in the last thirty years. Many dedicated to a specific period of history, especially in relation to the Second Republic or Franco, others with a geographical demarcation. But more extensive research has also been carried out, where it has been studied how the inspection has been affected by the changes made in your organization, or its role in the implementation of certain educational policies.
