Course context for academic year 2017-18

La escuela como institución no es un sistema cerrado y aislado del contexto social donde se inserta, por ello el análisis de los procesos y cambios sociales y culturales resulta esencial para comprender las nuevas funciones de la institución educativa y los desafíos que se le presentan. La asignatura, pues, pretende ayudar a los/as futuros/as maestros/as a analizar y comprender los cambios sociales y culturales más relevantes en el mundo actual y los retos que tiene la educación hoy. A partir del planteamiento de problemas y situaciones concretas se proporcionará al alumnado contenidos teórico-prácticos para su reflexión , cuestionamiento y debate con el fin de desarrollar habilidades de análisis y comprensión críticos que les permitan desarrollar proyectos de educación democrática en la educación primaria , incluyendo en ellos la relación con las familias , el impacto de los lenguajes audiovisuales , los cambios en las relaciones de género e intergeneracionales , la interculturalidad, la inclusión social y educativa y el desarrollo sostenible.
