Collaborative networks for social transformation. Expanding dialogue in teacher education

A group of colleagues from different national and international universities, who are concerned about opening classrooms to collaborative work with schools and other non-formal educational organisations, have been weaving a lively and passionate debate for almost two years.

The aim was to give meaning to academic and experiential knowledge crossed by a narrative process of learning and evaluation.

Inclusive education and attention to diversity: an unsolved subject in the teacher training curricula in Spain

The educational reform, which began at the end of 2020 with the approval of the LOMLOE (Organic Law 3/2020, of December 29, which modifies Organic Law 2/2006, of May 3, on Education) continues its journey by addressing at the beginning of this year 2022 one of the issues that generates the greatest expectation among the educational community: the reform of the teaching profession.

An educational vision of disinformation: resources and tools for literacy

Democracy is threatened by the serious problem of disinformation. It is a complex phenomenon that must be analyzed from an educational approach in order to recognize what pedagogical models, practices and resources have been developed to train citizens to overcome disinformation. The “Forge of Destiny” project, funded by the COTEC Foundation for Innovation and developed by Nodo Educativo, aims to create an educational video game and has allowed us to learn about the relationship between education and disinformation.
