Social views of distant university

"La sociedad tiende a fundarse cada vez más en el conocimiento", expresaba la Conferencia Mundial sobre Educación Superior (París, 1998). "Por consiguiente -concluía- la educación superior ha de emprender la renovación más radical que jamás haya tenido por delante...". Hoy sólo el 1% de la humanidad accede a la Universidad, durante un período de su vida. El desafío que enfrentamos es que pueda acceder el 99% restante, durante toda su vida.

Exploring the use of cooperative activities in a language subject to develop students’ social competences at the University

Cooperative learning has been successfully implemented in the last 60 years for teaching at different educational levels including the Higher Studies due to its solid theoretical foundation, the principles it proposes and its practical applications. The purpose of this article is to offer a proposal for some cooperative activities that allow students to work in small groups in a language subject in order to learn not only contents but also putting into practice what they learn, i.e., they learn by being active. This article discusses how the said activities make it possible for students to work with the main principles of cooperative learning, i.e.: positive interdependence, face-to-face interaction, individual and group accountability, interpersonal and small-group skills and group processing. Moreover, this research will also point out that the proposed activities allow students to acquire some of the social competences required in the labour market such as leadership, conflict solving and cooperation.
