Educators who are currently beginning their professional career at any level of the educationalsystem and who will likely have to work during the next thirty to forty years will be takingpart in the education of individuals who, with the permission of prophets and doomsayers,will live part of their lives in the 22nd century. That long but simple statement causes a bit ofvertigo as well as a good amount of reflection on the part of we educators who were trainedin the 20th century, are working in the 21st century, and are responsible for preparing peopleto build a tomorrow that is already today (Millán and Sancho, 1995). This is the starting pointof our research groups’ interest in exploring how men and women who have graduated fromteacher education programs with specializations in infant and primary education learn to beteachers, and how they establish and position themselves as teachers during their university studies and the first years of their professional life...

La separació infant-família i la proposta de mesura com a recurs de protecció infantil en l'Acolliment d'Urgència i Diagnòstic : qüestions ètiques

Aquest treball es proposa reflexionar, des de la mirada de l’ètica aplicada, al voltant de dues qüestions centrals: la demora en els estudis-diagnòstics dels infants en mesura d'acolliment d’Urgència i Diagnòstic, i la incertesa que contenen una bona part de les mesures de protecció que s'acorden posteriorment. Una i altra qüestió poden tenir, en una hipòtesi inicial, conseqüències de gravetat considerable, que afectarien tant els infants - la vida dels quals quedaria fàcilment condicionada pel tipus de decisió que es prengui en aquests moments-, les seves famílies i les famílies acollidores, com, en últim extrem, el propi sistema de protecció. Això, deixant de banda la violència interna que poden arribar a generar en els i les professionals. Però també, des d'una mirada menys conseqüencialista, les dues qüestions tenen a veure amb una forma determinada d'entendre i d'atendre la vulnerabilitat extrema d'aquests infants. Fer-ho be significarà que acollir-lo ara donarà resposta a la necessitat immediata d’atenció i de cura; que respondrem a la seva vulnerabilitat amb les millors condicions possibles. També significarà respondre, en clau de futur, al seu dret a una vida digna, arrelada, estable i en igualtat d'oportunitats
