There are no previous requirements, although this course unit is quite related to others in this Degree: Sociology of Education, Teaching-Learning Processes; Management and Innovation in Educational contexts and Contemporary Trends in Education. It will be useful for students to have studied these areas. Similarly, it is advisable to have a user account in the UCLM and be familiar with the use of technological tools since the course is based on the learning platform Moodle and other Web 2.0 tools.
The main methods of instruction will be lectures, work in small groups, debriefings, practices and discussions in the classroom. Students must acquire the ability to work with information, to summarise and to deal with it in an essay and in an argumentative way. Students must prepare a research and innovation project, develop and explain it in groups. They must also work in a practical way, applying theory to real situations. English will be considered as the working language and teacher/student communication will be held in English. So, students in B group need to hold at least B1 competence level in English. However, Spanish will be used if necessary to clarify concepts or contents.
The course unit Education and Society comprises contents from Sociology and Pedagogy and is part of the module 1.1.3. Society, family and school, integrated into module 1 (Basic Training) of the Degree in Primary Education (Teaching) in Castilla-La Mancha University. The Basic Training module includes socio-psycho and pedagogical contents.
This course unit completes the contents of Sociology of Education, lectured on first grade, and broadens pedagogical abilities and competences in shared areas, for example, the relationship between families and school.
Besides, Education and Society offers basic training for future teachers on tutorials, as a distinctive function to develop along their working life, related to students, families and other teachers. It pays special attention to the importance that family has in the educative context of Primary Education: functions that schools can develop to promote family involvement and to improve deeper relationships with communities and the social environment, in general.
Finally, Education and Society offers basic training for future Primary Teachers on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) area, building methodological skills to apply them along the teaching-learning process.
