Innovación y cambio en el aula desde la complejidad formativa
Las innovaciones en la universidad son un objetivo legítimo y necesario, pero controvertido. Los cambios estructurales económicos, políticos y socioculturales se materializan en nuevos retos para una institución que tiene que responder a los retos inherentes a esos cambios y que, con matices diferentes, conforman una polifonía de temas que necesitamos abordar. Este libro quiere mostrar, en la diversidad de temáticas y prácticas que la conforman, esa polifonía diversa, incómoda, a veces, que nos cuestiona e impulsa a experimentar otros caminos.
Igualdad y calidad educativa: oportunidades y desafíos de la enseñanza.
Uno de los retos a los que se han enfrentado las políticas educativas ha sido la mejora de la equidad de nuestro sistema educativo. El concepto de equidad se fundamenta en el de igualdad y en él se aplica el principio de justicia social, teniendo en cuenta las necesidades individuales que tiene cada persona y atendiendo a la diversidad, disminuyendo diferencias de cualquier tipo. Por tanto, la equidad se considera un indicador fundamental de la calidad educativa, tal y como lo afirman algunos autores, ambos términos son inseparables y no existe calidad sin equidad. A lo largo de los diferentes capítulos vamos a ir observando que a través de las investigaciones con perspectiva de género y una educación que fomente la igualdad es posible lograr una sociedad más justa. En este libro se recogen una gran variedad de experiencias y estudios sobre el género y la atención a la diversidad mediante metodologías y recursos innovadores que se adaptan a la sociedad cambiante en la que nos encontramos.
Service-Learning in Higher Education
Advocates have positioned service-learning as a real-world, real-time opportunity for students to encounter academic knowledge in a meaningful and relevant manner. Service-learning in higher education settings offers a powerful alternative to traditional models of teaching and learning. Students are encouraged to develop links to local institutions, volunteer their time, and create a special bond between the university and the community in which they live. Service-learning has become a very popular alternative to standard courses in higher education and is gaining significant popularity. This book takes a serious look at the unintended consequences and alternative conceptualizations of this mode of learning and explores what it could offer us in the future.
Cooperation in the Classroom
The jigsaw classroom is a cooperative learning technique with a three-decade track record of successfully reducing racial conflict and increasing positive educational outcomes. Not only does it open the door to warmer, closer friendships within and across ethnic boundaries, it has also proved effective at raising the self-esteem of students while improving their performance and increasing their liking for school and their enthusiasm about learning. The jigsaw technique was first developed in the early 1970s by psychologist Elliot Aronson and his students at the University of Texas and the University of California. Since then, hundreds of schools have used the jigsaw classroom with great success. With a new foreword by Joshua Aronson.

The Universal Right to Education
In this book, Joel Spring offers a powerful and closely reasoned justification and definition for the universal right to education--applicable to all cultures--as provided for in Article 26 of the United Nation's Universal Declaration of Human Rights. One sixth of the world's population, nearly 855 million people, are functionally illiterate, and 130 million children in developing countries are without access to basic education. Spring argues that in our crowded global economy, educational deprivation has dire consequences for human welfare. Such deprivation diminishes political power. Education is essential for providing citizens with the tools for resisting totalitarian and repressive gove...
