Class Socio-Historical Analysis of Education

This Curricular Unit intends to introduce the student in the problem of historical and social knowledge of education.  Scientific knowledge has a temporality, with its continuities and discontinuities, which forces us to relate the present with the past and the future. In this sense, it is intended to awaken the student to the need to learn from what we have already done to better build what we have to do. With this, it is intended to promote critical thinking, and develop an attitude of consideration and openness to dialogue, avoiding the danger of dogmatism.
