The School-Based Vocational Education and Training System in Spain
This book discusses the developments in policy and practice in the field of formal, non-formal and continuing vocational education and training in Spain since 1970. It describes how VET has been transformed and become one of the country’s main areas of pedagogical innovation, and also examines current developments, such as the role of non-formal vocational education and training, the accreditation of vocational qualifications acquired in the non-formal system, and the adoption of dual apprenticeships that bear little resemblance to central European dual systems. Written by respected researchers in these fields, the first section is informative and analytical, offering a description of the system and comments based on academic literature and research. The second section illustrates the research on relevant issues, portraying empirical data from different regions in Spain, as well as nationwide data. Explaining and interpreting data on the basis of the authors’ different theoretical frameworks, the book provides a comprehensive, updated and accurate overview of VET and relevant research in Spain, as well as their relation to European and global developments.
Pedagogies and Curriculums to (Re)imagine Public Education
This book discusses current market-based educational discourses and how they have undermined the notion of “the public” in public education by allowing private visions of education to define the public democratic imagination. Against this discouraging background, this text embraces Freire’s understanding of hope as an ontological need and calls for finding new public grounds for our public imagination. It further articulates Freire’s mandate to unveil historically concrete practices to sustain democratic educational visions, no matter how difficult this task may be, by (1) presenting an indepth description of the pedagogies and curriculums of eleven schools across historical and geog...
A Loud but Noisy Signal?

Procesos de aprendizaje de vanguardia en la enseñanza superior
Bolonia nos ha supuesto al profesorado universitario el tener que repensar nuestras materias para adaptarlas a las nuevas exigencias. Y aún estamos en ello. Cuando los países europeos, el 19 de junio de 1999, revalidaron la importancia de un desarrollo armónico del Espacio Europeo de la Educación Superior y matizaron y concretaron algunos temas ya iniciados en acuerdos precedentes, se pretendía, sobre el papel, la adopción de un sistema comprensible y comparable de titulación que permitiese la competitividad internacional. En la realidad, más allá de los procesos burocráticos y las urdimbres administrativas de este sistema global, en el meollo de la propuesta se halla la enseñanza...
Social Class, Language and Power
This book foregrounds the ideas of an important European pedagogue whose writings provide insights for a critical social justice oriented approach to education. Lorenzo Milani has all the credentials to be regarded as potentially a key source of inspiration for critical pedagogy. Milani’s approach to education for social justice gives importance to a number of issues, notably social class issues, race issues especially with his critique of North-South relations and cultural/technological transfer, the collective dimension of learning and action (emphasis is placed on reading and writing the word and the world collectively), student-teachers and teacher-students (a remarkable form of peer t...
Re imaginar la educación pública
Este libro afronta este reto de dos maneras muy concretas. Primero, describiendo detalladamente cómo once escuelas que existen o existieron en momentos históricos y contextos geográficos muy diferentes, pero con un gran compromiso con las poblaciones más desfavorecidas, establecieron pedagogías y currículos para canalizar públicamente sus esperanzas de un futuro mejor para sus estudiantes. Y segundo, reflexionando sobre como las historias de estas escuelas pueden ayudarnos a generar un mayor compromiso con las visiones públicas de la educación. Para facilitar esta reflexión, este libro ofrece la noción de educación pública como algo que debe ser imaginado públicamente como un instrumento conceptual capaz de ayudarnos a entender la necesidad de ver las esperanzas educativas de las escuelas en los contextos históricos y discursivos en las que se originan y a reclamar las escuelas públicas como espacios legítimos y necesarios para ejercer nuestra imaginación pública
