Educational Transitions and Social Justice
Transitions to upper secondary education are crucial to understanding social inequalities. In most European countries, it is at this moment when students are separated into different tracks and faced with a ‘real choice’ in relation to their educational trajectory. Based on a qualitative driven approach with multiple research techniques, including documentary analysis, questionnaires and over 100 interviews with policymakers, teachers and young people in Barcelona and Madrid, this book offers a holistic account of upper secondary educational transitions in urban contexts. Contributors explore the political, institutional and subjective dimensions of these transitions and the multiple mechanisms of inequality that traverse them. Providing vital insights for policy and practice that are internationally relevant, this book will guarantee greater equity and social justice for young people regarding their educational trajectories and opportunities.
Identity in a Hyperconnected Society
This book is about the formation of identity, primarily in adolescents, and the danger inherent in creating that identity in the context of a hyperconnected world. It provides scientific and regulatory pedagogical knowledge associated with these risks in creating identity, primarily among young people, arising from increasing, and increasingly important, screen connection times. It proposes solutions to the educational challenges of constructing identity in a hyperconnected society. The book focuses especially on the process of identity formation in this instance, where both adolescents and the adults who teach them have forgotten the vital need to incorporate educational theories and principles, novel, experimental and basic, kn any discussion of adolescent identity work.
Blended Learning: Convergence between Technology and Pedagogy
This book focuses on essential aspects of the theoretical foundations that support blended learning (BL) as a teaching training modality in tertiary education. Analyzing the changes in the world of education that lead to new ways of thinking and learning, it redefines the concept of blended learning at a time of constant growth in many universities around the world. This involves a shared reflection on the role of technology in the current university teacher education programs, as well as on the role that pedagogy plays in increasingly technology-driven contexts. Furthermore, the book presents pedagogical approaches to guide university professors in the design and implementation of blended learning courses. To this end, it describes some of the major models and approaches to BL instructional design, and examines issues related to the quality of BL training and the indicators to measure it, in order to identify those models that contribute to a better understanding of the dimensions that increase its effectiveness.

Pedagogía de las cosas
El mundo se compone de cosas. Ellas van construyendo nuestra identidad, nos proporcionan estabilidad y coherencia, y en ellas queda escrita nuestra historia. Nos hacen terrenales, temporales, espaciales. Las cosas, los espacios que crean, los tiempos que requieren e imponen, los sentimientos que provocan, los movimientos que incitan y permiten, las acciones que sugieren, los cuerpos y las mentes que modulan... Sin embargo, nosotros solo vemos de ellas su utilidad y su eficacia, su instrumentalidad, su capacidad técnica, no su potencial experiencial, mental. Les negamos el ser y el hacernos lo que fuimos y lo que somos. Mentes corpóreas. Mentes de cosas. Acaso solo cosas. El Seminario Inter...

Aprendizaje-Servicio
Paso a paso, el enfoque del Aprendizaje-Servicio (ApS) se va consolidando en nuestras instituciones de educación superior. Las Universidades con este enfoque dan muestra tanto de su responsabilidad social como de su intención de ser más auténticas y fieles a su propia tradición e identidad milenarias. Una identidad que no permanece estática, sino que siendo fiel a sí misma, evoluciona creativamente ofreciendo respuestas novedosas a las exigencias de los nuevos tiempos. Ahora bien, esta respuesta no solo es positiva para la sociedad, también lo es para los propios estudiantes, que son el centro de la vida académica de las Universidades, y para el resto de la comunidad universitaria. ...
The Art of Truth-telling about Authoritarian Rule
People who have lived through authoritarian rule have stories to tell, truths that have been silenced. But how do individuals begin to speak about a political past that was too horrible for words? How is truth best voiced in a society moving out of authoritarianism? This generously illustrated volume examines the creation of stories, accounts, images, songs, street theater, paintings, and ideas that pay witness to authoritarian pasts in Nigeria, South Africa, Argentina, Chile, Guatemala, Cambodia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Bosnia, Serbia, and Croatia. This theme is explored with contributions by scholars, activists, and artists. By examining the past, they hope to teach us to avoid repeating these atrocities.
El diálogo interreligioso en la empresa
¿Es razonable proponer el diálogo interreligioso en la empresa? y, en su caso, ¿cómo podría darse? Está claro que nos encontramos ante un tema que no es fácil ni en su planteamiento ni en su desarrollo. No obstante, puede tener cabida en un contexto de globalización, de migración y de interconexión como el actual. Este estudio profundiza en el sentido y ser de la empresa para comprender la posibilidad del diálogo interreligioso en ella. Para llevar a cabo este propósito, el autor tiene en cuenta aspectos procedentes del análisis económico, pero se inspira, además, en aportaciones de la filosofía y del pensamiento social cristiano, presentando una propuesta enriquecida por est...
