Prerequisites
This is a mandatory course for the specialisation in Inequalities, Research and Educational Action
Objectives and Contextualisation
The objective of this course is to understand the relationships between educational systems and inequalities based on various theoretical and empirical contributions from academic literature. The course content will analyze these relationships at the macro, meso, and micro levels. Different theories and approaches to education and the production of educational policy will be considered, as well as aspects related to the culture and structure of educational institutions, and the role of teachers and families in relation to inequalities and social change. The content blocks through which the course is structured will allow for the recognition of inequalities present at different stages—access, process, and outcomes—of schooling and will provide the appropriate tools for reflection, analysis, and the development of research proposals within this framework.

Assessment
Continous Assessment Activities
| Title | Weighting | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Analysis of articles (activities and readings during the development of the module) | 40% | 0 | 0 | CA29, CA30, CA31, KA28, KA29, SA19, SA20 |
| Attendance and participation | 10% | 0 | 0 | CA29, CA30, CA31, KA28, KA29, SA19, SA20 |
| Preparation of an academic paper | 50% | 0 | 0 | CA29, CA30, CA31, KA28, KA29, SA19, SA20 |
The assessment of the course will be carried out through the activities indicated above. The academic paper must be handed in on March 27th. The rest of the assessment activities take place throughout the sessions.
The final grade will be the weighted average of the planned activities. To be able to apply this criterion, it will be necessary to obtain at least a 4 in every activity, those carried out during the development of the course and in the final paper.
Class attendance is mandatory. In order to obtain a positive final evaluation, students must have attended a minimum of 80% of the classes. Plagiarism or copying will result in failure and will be reported to the degree coordinator.
Students who choose to take a single assessment must prepare and deliver an academic article (50%) and make an oral presentation expanding on three topics developed throughout the course (50%)—both activities on March 27th.
The examination re-take, both in the case of the continuous assessment and single assessment, will take place on April 27th and will consist of the delivery of a review and reworking of the activity(s) in which the student has failed.
