Este trabajo pretende ser, la exhibición de las competencias adquiridas en materia de investigación, a través de la integración coherente entre la reelaboración teórica, y el diseño de instrumentos de valoración que aporten evidencias válidas y confiables sobre la contribución del "e-Diario compartido", en el desarrollo de las competencias transversales de pensamiento crítico-reflexivo y aprendizaje autónomo.El trabajo representa una primera fase de elaboración, que debe ser profundizada en el futuro inmediato, y por ello plantea un marco general para la evaluación de la experiencia pedagógica: Uno, desde sus elementos conceptuales como innovación educativa que es, y; Dos, a través de sus resultados, en términos del aprendizaje de los participantes competencias desarrolladas.

El Fons documental de Jordi Verrié i Faget, una aportació a la història de l'educació catalana

El febrer de 2001 moria a Santa Cristina d’Aro Jordi Verrié i Faget, personatge polifacètic que al llarg de la seva vida s’havia dedicat a diferents tasques sempre en defensa i reconeixement de la cultura i la pedagogia catalanes. Investigador incansable, ens deixava un important llegat fruit de la seva passió pels llibres i del seu interès per la nostra història educativa, una part del qual era donat a la Universitat de Girona. Aquest fons documental és el punt de partida d’aquest estudi, que vol aprofundir en la figura de Verrié, contextualitzar el seu fons i valorar què significa per la nostra pedagogia. Aquest és un reconeixement a Jordi Verrié i a la seva tasca, que representa una important aportació a la història de l’educació catalana

Deu anys d'ensenyament del catala a l'Aragó: els nous reptes

Situados en el contexto sociocultural y lingüístico de la Franja oriental aragonesa, donde las lenguas en contacto (castellano y catalán) coexisten en condiciones de fuerte desequilibrio a favor de la primera de ellas, y pasados diez años de la regulación del programa de enseñanza de la lengua catalana mediante el Convenio de Cooperación suscrito en noviembre de 1.986 entre el Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia (MEC) y el Departamento de Cultura y Educación de la Diputación General de Aragón (DGA); en el artículo se analiza la respuesta del alumnado y se proponen futuras líneas de actuación.

Coming from outside the Academy. Values of 2.0 culture in higher education

This article reflects on how some values, interests, and particularities of 2.0 culture enter on higher and postgraduate education institutions. Through theidentification of the features of 2.0, this document visualizes some of the resistances, obstacles, possibilities, and opportunities detected in these institutions, many of them focusing on the core of the higher education and postgraduate institutions (i.e. strategic vision, methodology, role of teachers and students, relation between formal and informal learning, contents and assessment). Responsibility in the training and updating of current and future professionals places these institutions under the discussion and decision-making process related to the role that 2.0 tools should play. We wonder if it implies a crossroad which affects the whole set of attitudes and values on the role of training institutions in the context of the construction of socialized knowledge.

Schooling in the Network Society : Internet in Primary and Secondary Education. Research report (synthesis document)

Aquest projecte té la intenció d'identificar i analitzar els efectes de la introducció d'Internet a les escoles catalanes (educació primària i secundària). L'objectiu és posar de manifest la manera com s'utilitza la xarxa en aquest àmbit i en quina mesura contribueix a l'aparició, en els centres educatius, d'una nova cultura adaptada a les necessitats de la societat xarxa. Amb aquest propòsit, aquest projecte desplega les seves línies d'anàlisi per a fer atenció al procés d'incorporació d'Internet, principalment, en tres direccions: la pràctica pedagògica, les formes d'organització i gestió dels centres educatius i la seva vinculació amb la comunitat i el territori. Aquesta investigació ha estat desenvolupada pel grup de recerca ENS (Education and Network Society). Amb una perspectiva comparativa, el treball d'aquest grup vol contribuir, sobre la base de dades empíriques, a interpretar la transformació de l'àmbit educatiu no universitari en els paràmetres que estableix, avui dia, la nostra societat.

Education as a mirror of Spanish society: challenges and policies towards multiple diversity

The ways in which the dominant cultural majority frames the educationalsystem determine perceptions of its own identity and understandings ofthe ‘other.’ In this article I take a political approach, by examining themanagement of cultural diversity within Spanish education policies, treating“education as the mirror of society”. This article analyzes Spanish challengesand policies approaches towards the management of immigrationrelated diversity in education. The main finding is that there is not one approach,but several, due to both the decentralized character of the educationsystem and the multiplicity of diversity that is at stake (i.e. language,religion, culture etc.)

Educational expansion, intergenerational mobility and over-education

[eng] There is a vast literature on intergenerational mobility in sociology and economics. Similar interest has emerged for the phenomenon of over-education in both disciplines. There are no studies, however, linking these two research lines. We study the relationship between social mobility and over-education in a context of educational expansion. Our framework allows for the evaluation of several policies, including those affecting social segregation, early intervention programs and the power of unions. Results show the evolution of social mobility, over-education, income inequality and equality of opportunity under each scenario.

Teaching how to learn with a wiki in Primary Education: what classroom interaction can tell us

Understanding how wikis are used to support collaborative learning is an important concern for researchers and teachers. Adopting a discourse analytic approach, this paper attempts to understand the teaching processes when a wiki is embedded in a science project in primary education to foster collaborative learning. Through studying interaction between the teacher and students, our findings identify ways in which the teacher prompts collaborative learning but also shed light on the difficulties for the teacher in supporting student collective collaboration. It is argued that technological wiki features supporting collaborative learning can only be realized if teacher talk and pedagogy are aligned with the characteristics of wiki collaborative work: the freedom of students to organize and participate by themselves, creating dialogic space and promoting student participation. We argue that a dialogic approach for examining interaction can be used to help to design a more effective pedagogic approach in the use of wikis in education, to shift into Web 2.0 learning paradigm and to equip learners with the competences they need to participate in knowledge co-construction.

¿Crisis de la cultura? = Crisis of the culture?

Culture has several meanings: civilization, creation, knowledge, life… We analyze how each one suffers the so-called crisis of culture. Civilization lives the crisis as «liquidity», according to Bauman’s diagnosis, with significant negative impact on education. The creation and enjoyment of cultural products, such as museums, suffer its crisis as fragility resulting from the civilization crisis, notably in the form of consumerist banality or pure entertainment. Culture as knowledge and as life is analyzed under the joint notion «humanistic culture». This, which in turn is creation, knowledge and life has its specific corruption in the elitist knowledge, merely theoretical. The hallmark of genuine humanism contains an essential component, the dimension of ethical and political commitment. The crisis in the humanistic studies, noted by Nussbaum, threats the values of humanistic culture; in particular is a political risk, because democracy is a system that needs to sustain and improve the values of humanistic culture. In the background, and beyond the differences between the cultural meanings, there is a unique cultural crisis, a crisis of ethics and politics at a time
