Education Systems and School Cultures
Objectives
This seminar focuses on a dual perspective of the relationship between education and development: the macro level, of contemporary mass education systems and their dynamics; the meso level, the institutional school settings expressed through their educational cultures (professional cultures, learning and knowledge organization, organizational cultures and relational cultures). It is intended that students:
a) acquire skills of analysis and interpretation of the scientific literature on the key areas of education sciences;
b) develop ways of thinking the problems of education in the diversity of their backgrounds (social, cultural and historical);
c) develop the capacities to reflect an integrated approach of the educational problems in the different scales of observation and analysis, from individual to organizational, from school organizations to macro-systems;
d) to master the fundamentals of the main theories of the social sciences and education studies.
