Contents

Through the contents of this subject, students are expected to acquire critical knowledge about education and its relationship with the social environment. The aim is to analyze and critically incorporate the most relevant issues of current society that affect the education system in general and the Early Childhood and Primary School in particular.

From a sociological perspective, the relationship between School and Society is presented, analyzing the functions it performs, its variation over time and how the State regulates this relationship through educational reform. Next, we analyze the way in which the fundamental types of social inequality -class, gender and ethnic-cultural-are simultaneously combated and reproduced by the school. Finally, it is dealt with how the transformations in contemporary societies are transforming the relationship between the school and the main socialization agencies: the family, the media and the peer groups.

From a pedagogical perspective, the concept of inclusive education is introduced. A school model inspired by this principle demands organizational and methodological changes, which will be analyzed. Preferential attention is given to the channels of family participation in the creation of the inclusive school, addressing the set of conditions necessary for it to be effective.

The weight of the sociology and pedagogy parts in the final grade is proportional to the credits assigned to each of them, 4.5 and 1.5 respectively. Therefore, 75% of the grade corresponds to sociology and 25% to pedagogy. In turn, 40% of the grade for each of the two parts corresponds to the evaluation of group work and 60% to the final exam. However, it is necessary to pass both parts in order to pass the course.
