Producto o praxis del curriculum


Book Description

Shirley GRUNDY aborda en este libro cuestiones relacionadas con la teoría y práctica del curriculum a través de la aplicación de la teoría de los intereses constitutivos del conocimiento de Jürgen HABERMAS. Examina las implicaciones teóricas en el curriculum de los intereses cognitivos técnico, práctico y emancipatorio. A cada capítulo teórico sigue otro que analiza ejemplos de prácticas curriculares que se pueden interpretar como informadas por el interés cognitivo particular que se está discutiendo. Las consecuencias del interés constitutivo emancipatorio se tratan con mayor minuciosidad que las correspondientes al práctico y técnico. El interés emancipatorio se expresa en los procesos educativos que propone la pedagogía crítica. En este modelo pedagógico se considera imprescindible que profesoras, profesores y alumnado posean un mayor grado de control de su práctica, así como de las situaciones en que se producen los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje. La investigación-acción se contempla como una forma de pedagogía crítica mediante la cual docentes y estudiantes pueden obtener sistemáticamente este control. Una de las preocupaciones fundamentales de la autora consiste en utilizar un lenguaje claro y accesible, que aporte propuestas para que puedan mejorarse las experiencias de enseñanza y aprendizaje.







Education, Welfare and the Capabilities Approach


Book Description

Capabilities Approach The authors assess the potentials and pitfalls of the Capabilities Approach to issues of education and welfare. Renowned philosophers, sociologists, psychologists, economists and educational scientists explore the conceptual and practical implications of this approach for delivering socially just policies. The volume analyses the potentials and pitfalls of the Capabilities Approach (CA) which was initially developed by the Indian economist Amartya Sen and the American philosopher Martha Nussbaum. CA is considered as a philosophical approach to social justice, a scientific approach to research welfare production and eventually as a potentially new practically adoptable fundament for educational and social service delivery. CA is one of the currently most influential attempts to reconcile the competing demands which are associated with the fundamental conceptions of equality, recognition and liberty and advocates an egalitarian, political conception of social justice which is concerned with the cultivation, maximization and just distribution of the (real) freedom of individuals. Renowned philosophers, sociologists, psychologists, economists and educational scientists investigate the complex relation of education and welfare against the background of major economic, political and cultural transformations within and across European societies.
