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.

Promover e impulsar el cambio y la mejora de la educación es una tarea permanente que no siempre va acompañada del éxito deseado. Y es que son múltiples los factores y circunstancias que influyen, y variadas las alternativas de intervención que dificultan, más que favorecen, una visión común y mantenida sobre el cambio. Se trata de conseguir actuaciones realistas, sistemáticas y progresivas, dirigidas a potenciar la calidad de la educación, a facilitar un contexto que también eduque y permita el desarrollo personal-profesional, y a favorecer el crecimiento de la organización. La Práctica Educativa Basada en Evidencias (PBE) se puede considerar, en este sentido, como un planteami...

Kathy Charmaz is one of the world's leading theorists and exponents of grounded theory. In this important and essential new textbook, she introduces the reader to the craft of using grounded theory in social research, and provides a clear, step-by-step guide for those new to the field. Using worked examples throughout, this book also maps out an alternative vision of grounded theory put forward by its founding thinkers, Glaser and Strauss. To Charmaz, grounded theory must move on from its positivist origins and must incorporate many of the methods and questions posed by constructivists over the past twenty years to become a more nuanced and reflexive practice.
