Este libro, que está cuidadosamente pensado para los docentes, entiende la figura del profesor y su tarea como un compromiso tanto con lo educativo como con la técnica didáctica. La idea de un desarrollo curricular centrado en la escuela, ha sido el leitmotiv de la obra. El profesor no puede ya trabajar solo, desconectado de sus colegas. Aunque suponga esfuerzo organizativo, ideológico (y hasta económico), es preciso romper la inercia para construir una "nueva escuela".

Offering the possibility of a new relationship between teachers and learners, this book describes an approach to teaching styles and student progress, whereby the emphasis is on activity-based learning, rather than on teaching, and on teacher-student collaboration, rather than instruction. The book aims to show how students of any age and ability can take responsibility for their own learning in an environment of positive regard, as teachers become facilitators rather than instructors.
Quality and professional development - The thesis of this book is that the University develops a formative task at the higher levels as required, in order to be effective, with regard to institutional conditions as well as the capacitation of their personnel. The formative mission of each university institution is concretized and carried out in its curricular offer and its quality of formation, for its part, it will depend in good measure on the performance of the teachers. Today it is beyond doubt that good teaching requires command of different competencies on the part of the teachers of each faculty or school. The “university curriculum”, the “teaching skills” and the “analysis of the teaching quality” are the three big parts in the book. Ten competencies that summarize the most important aspects of the university professors’ activity are analysed. Competencies that can serve as a mark of reference for a possible program of qualification of the university professors.
El reto que el EEES plantea a las universidades, transformar las actuales ofertas formativas abriéndolas a nuevos escenarios sociales e institucionales genera preguntas como las siguientes: ¿Es el EEES una oportunidad estratégica? ¿Está en crisis lo que hacemos? ¿Cómo gestionar un cambio tan complejo? ¿Qué herramientas necesitamos desarrollar o adoptar? ¿Cómo contrastamos la calidad de lo que hacemos y de lo que proponemos? ¿En qué medida nuestra idea de calildad es socialmente compartida? ¿En qué medida todo este proceso puede fortalecernos como institución docente? En este libro se plantea una respuesta concreta al para qué y cómo afrontar este reto atendiendo a dos cuestiones centrales: a la noción de autonomía universitaria en el desarrollo de la propuesta y al fortalecimiento de la calidad de la formación impartida, resultante de todo este esfuerzo.

This book addresses several fundamental aspects of social work practice. From a qualitative and exploratory perspective, the book analyses pre-professional practices in the formation of social workers by contrasting the perspectives of students, institutional supervisors and university lecturers. Areas of opportunity in training are identified, such as handling personal and family crises of high conflict, the lack of specialised knowledge according to intervention areas, and limited participation in technical processes. The book proposes strengthening communication, mediation and emotional support skills, as well as incorporating optional courses and specific diplomas to fill these gaps. Methodologically, the book is based on semi-structured interviews and focus groups, allowing a systemic understanding of the educational phenomenon from the voice of the main actors. Together, this work offers an enriching overview of the challenges and opportunities in the practical training of social workers, laying the foundations for improving the quality of these training processes.
