The students analyse the sense and meaning of education, the relationship between education and Western culture, the epistemological role of pedagogy within the set of sciences of education. Also, the course aims to study different educational theories with a critical perspective. The History of Education part, aims to analyse different perspectives and historically relevant authors in order to understand their present contribution.
This course complements other courses as “Mirem el món: Projectes Transdisciplinars”, “Educació i contextos educatius”, “Aspectes biopsicològics de la persona”, and supplements the course “Bases sociopolítiques de l'educació”. Also, this course establishes the epistemological base of the course “Research in education” and establishes the philosophical and historical aims of “Anthropology and philosophy of education”.

The protagonist in the teaching-learning process is the student. It is under this premise that the methodology of this course has been designed:
All the tasks of this subject follow 3 parts: autonomous activity, directed activity (large group and seminars) and supervised activity.
The methodology that will be used in this course will take into account both the gender perspective and the attention to diversity.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

The evaluation of the subject will be carried out continuously throughout the entire semester through the activities that are discussed in this section.
The evaluation of the subject will be carried out throughout the semester through the activities discussed in this section.To pass the cours, you must have a minimum arithmetic average of 5. A score that arises from the calculation between the three assessment activities. You must have passed the two individual theoretical tests (written test and text commentary) separately to pass the subject. People who do not reach a 5 in each of these tests will be able to present themselves for recovery.
The maximum grade for this re-evaluation can only be approved.
The subject is considered non-evaluable when less than 50% of the evaluation activities have been submitted.
Copying or plagiarism in any of the evaluation activities constitutes a crime and will be penalized with a 0 in the final grade of the subject losing the possibility of recovering it, whether it is an individual or group work.
Reasoning ability, linguistic correctness, writing and formal presentation will be taken into account in all assessment activities (individual and group). In addition, each student will have to express themselves fluently, correctly and showing mastery in the comprehension of academic texts. In this sense, an activity may be returned (not evaluated) or even suspended if the teacher considers these basic aspects of verbal and written expression insufficient.
The grades obtained in each of the assessment activities will be delivered to the student within a maximum of 20 days by publishing the results on the Virtual Campus or in the classroom.
SINGLE ASSESSMENT
People who request it can take advantage of the Single Assessment.
The single assessment will consist of an individual test that will have two parts, one written (with theoretical questions (50%) and an oral interview with the student (50%)
The same recovery system will be applied as in the case of continuous assessment.
The review of the final qualification follows the same procedure as for the continuous assessment.
In this subject, the use of artificial intelligence technologies is not permitted in the six phases. Any work that includes fragments generated by IA will be considered a lack of academic honesty and may entail a total or partial penalty in the activity grade or major sanctions in serious cases.
