2. Pre-Requisites

There are no previous requirements, although this course unit is quite related to other course units in this Degree: Education and Society, Teaching-Learning Processes; Management and Innovation in Educational contexts. It will be useful for students to have studied these matters.
Similarly, it is advisable to have a user account in the UCLM and be familiar with the use of technological tools since the subject 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, practical exercises and discussions in the classroom.
Students must acquire the ability to work with digital information, to summarise and to deal with it in an essay and in an argumentative way.
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.

However, Spanish will be used if necessary to clarify concepts or contents.

3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession

Contemporary trends in education is a course unit of 6 ECTS credits, which is offered in the Degree in teacher of Primary Education and is integrated in the Basic Training to be received as an initial training by all professionals who want to teach in primary education. The training that the student has to acquire through the referred course unit has the following purposes: understanding the educational process at the stage of primary education, considering all its dimensions, complexity, conditioning factors, situations and agents involved in it, pedagogical principles that justify and sustain it and activities and resources that support this educational process aimed at the training of democratic citizens.
On the other hand, the knowledge and understanding of trends and educational movements that have been recently developed and are being developed are of great importance to explain and implement, in the best way possible, the educational process in line with the social conditions of each historical moment.
Likewise, the students will know from this course, the historical development of the Spanish education system, its relations with the sociopolitical and ideological context at the different stages of its history, and the rules which have been created concerning Primary Education to meet the educational needs of students at this level of the education system. Knowing the situation of Primary Education at a European context is also interesting.
However, such training cannot remain at a purely theoretical knowledge, but students have to achieve the necessary competences and develop the necessary skills for the proper performance of their work as educators, with a proper scientific basis and proper application to the educational practice according to the contexts in which they will be performed. Apart from this, the cross-curricular competences concerning universities studies and the general competences must be added.
This course unit is closely related to the course unit: "Management and innovation in educational contexts", both blocks constitute Module 1.1.2 PROCESSES AND EDUCATIONAL CONTEXTS, of the general training of Primary Education teachers.
