    2.- Description and General Objectives

    Introduction

    This module, together with Sociology of Education, are part of a bigger subject called

    Society, Family and Education. It is, therefore, an introductory subject to Sociology of

    Education in which the main goal is that students acquire knowledge, techniques and

    practices facilitating a critical and reflexive comprehension of the relationship between

    Society and Education.

    Its goal is the same than other social-psycho-pedagogy subjects, as the educational

    system —as an object of study— is related to everything that is involved in the process

    of social construction and socialization. For example, it connects with Didactics in the

    way that it can facilitate, or not, the success in learning within some social groups through

    the use of teaching methods and learning techniques.

    Its contribution to the teacher training aims to forge an identity of involved, aware and

    engaged professionals, a consciousness related to their social position within schools as

    institutions that may produce and reproduce certain conditions for social inequalities.

    General Objectives

    Reaching an understanding of essential concepts of social theory (Sociology and

    Social Structure), especially those closer to education and family perspectives.

    Understanding the relations between main social institutions of social structure,

    family and education.

    Introducing the students to the link between theory, method and research

    techniques, applied mainly to Education.

    Designing a Research-Action social research in the diagnostic stage.

    Acquiring reflexive and critical knowledge about the role of education in social

    change.

    11

    In order to pass the subject, the student must have a mark higher than 4,5 (over 10) in

    all the activities.

    Due to the situation derived from the COVID-19, attendance is compulsory in alternate

    weeks, so 50% of the students will attend classes on odd weeks and the other 50% will

    attend on even weeks. The weeks in which the students do not have to attend class,

    they will follow it in a non-presential way, mainly through Florida Oberta and Microsoft

    TEAMS.

    As long as the student cannot attend to 80% of the classes or more:

    a. It is compulsory to attend a tutorial session within the first 15 days of the

    academic year.

    b. If the student cannot follow the rhythm of their colleagues of Integrated

    Project and decide to abandon, the highest mark will be 7.5 out of 10 (as IP

    represents a grade of 2.5).

    c. If the student decides to follow the Integrated Project but not the rest of the

    subject, marks can be saved for the second call.

    9.- Proposal for specific actions

    In view of the situation created in the field of higher education throughout the country by the

    health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, this teaching guide attempts to anticipate

    possible scenarios by proposing a series of general actions to guarantee training and

    assessment activities at all times, as well as organising content and procedures to save the

    situation at the least cost to our students. Our responsibility as a University is to reconcile

    their right to receive quality training with compliance with the measures prescribed by the

    health authorities at all times.

    Although we are committed to the greatest possible attendance at each of the sessions

    programmed for each semester, for those students who are vulnerable to the COVID-19 and

    who can prove and justify it, specific measures will be taken to guarantee their monitoring of

    the subject.

  • Social Structure and Education: Course Description

    FLORIDA UNIVERSITÀRIA – Degree on Early Childhood Teacher Education

    12

    These students will be exempt from attending classes in person, and the telematic

    communication channels established in section 12 of this guide will be the same ones that

    must be used by the rest of the students (e-mail, Florida Oberta and Microsoft TEAMS).

    Vulnerable people who stay at home will not be taught online, but will be able to arrange

    tutorials for the correct development of the subject.

    12.- Queries and attention to students

    Due to the multiple scenarios that we can find in this academic year, we will detail the

    different possible communication channels to make good use of each of the corporate

    tools available:

    - E-mail: this is the main channel of communication with the teaching staff. In this

    way, we can consult the availability of time to arrange for tutoring (in person or

    on-line).

    - Florida Oberta: this is where you can find the material for teaching; a repository

    for the delivery of work or assignments, and also for the completion of exams

    or questionnaires.

    - Microsoft Teams: it let us communicate online (either group-class or individual

    tutorials), synchronously or asynchronously. The chat of these channels should

    not be the way to communicate with the teaching staff.

    DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK TO BE DONE

    The social environment of schools and their students are key to understanding the socializing and educational functions of schools. We often find that schools do not have the tools to articulate effective responses to the demands and needs of their social environment. The first and most necessary step is to know and obtain information about this environment, and contrast the extent to which the needs it poses are being met. The task of teaching is influenced by the changes, needs and demands of society, to which it must respond. For this reason, teachers must be aware of this systemic framework that society is, given that in its dynamics are the basic keys to understanding the professional work that students must do in schools. The importance of knowing the social environment from a sociological perspective lies in its critical and scientific component. From the subject of Social Structure and Education, students must carry out a research report describing the environment in which the school they dream of will be inserted. This description will be approached from a double perspective: quantitative and qualitative. The aim is for students to become familiar with these methods of data collection and analysis. In this way, each team will prepare a written report consisting of two parts: 1. On the one hand, quantitative data will be collected to describe the demographic and socio-economic context in which the school is to be located, for which relevant up-to-date sources will be provided; 2. On the other hand, a practice of interviews or discussion groups will be carried out, as a priority, with the parents of children enrolled in Early School or Primary Education —depending on the grade in which they are enrolled—, and failing that, with teachers from that stage, with the aim of better understanding the needs and demands of potential users of the school (families) or other members of the educational community. This research report —for which the appropriate instructions will be provided, in terms of form and content, and which may be prepared in any of the official languages of the Region of Valencia— may be incorporated directly into the Centre's Educational Project (PEC, in its Spanish acronym) being developed at a general level in the Integrated Project.

    DESCRIPCIÓN DEL TRABAJO A REALIZAR

    El entorno social de la escuela y el alumnado es clave para entender las funciones socializadoras y educadoras de la escuela. Muy a menudo nos encontramos con que la escuela no tiene herramientas para articular respuestas efectivas a las demandas y necesidades de su entorno social. El primer paso y el más necesario es conocer y obtener información alrededor de este ento rno, y contrastar en qué medida se están dando respuesta a las necesidades que plantea. La tarea docente se ve influida, y además tiene que dar respuestas a los cambios, necesidades y demandas de la sociedad. Por este motivo, el profesorado debe conocer este marco sistémico que es la sociedad, dado que en su dinámica se encuentran las claves básicas para comprender el trabajo profesional que debe realizar el alumnado en los centros educativos. La importancia de aproximarse al conocimiento del entorno social desde una perspectiva sociológica reside en su componente crítico y científico. Desde la asignatura de Estructura Social y Educación el alumnado deberá realizar un informe de investigación que describa el entorno en el que va a insertarse la escuela que sueñan. Esta descripción se abordará desde una doble perspectiva: la cuantitativa y la cualitativa. El objetivo es que el alumnado se familiarice con estos métodos de obtención y análisis de datos. De esta forma, los equipos elaborarán un informe escrito que constará de dos partes en que: 1. Por un lado, se llevará a cabo una recogida de datos cuantitativos para describir el contexto demográfico y socioeconómico en que se ubica la escuela, para lo cual se proveerán las fuentes actualizadas pertinentes; 2. Por otra parte, se llevará a cabo una práctica de entrevistas o grupo de discusión, prioritariamente, con padres y/o madres de niños/as escolarizados en Ed. Infantil o Primaria en función del Grado cursado, y en su defecto, con maestros/as de dicha etapa, con el objetivo de entender mejor las necesidades y demandas de los potenciales usuarios de la escuela (las familias) o de otras personas integrantes de la comunidad educativa. Este informe de investigación, para el cual se proveerá de las instrucciones oportunas, a nivel de forma y contenido, y que podrá ser elaborado en cualquiera de las lenguas oficiales de la Comunitat Valenciana, podrá ser incorporado directamente al Proyecto Educativo de Centro (PEC) que desarrollan a nivel general en el Proyecto Integrado.

    DESCRIPCIÓ DEL TREBALL A REALITZAR

    L’entorn social de l’escola i l’alumnat és clau per entendre les funcions socialitzadores i educadores de l’escola. Molt sovint ens trobem que l’escola no té ferramentes per articular respostes efectives a les demandes i necessitats del seu entorn social. El primer pas i el més necessari és conèixer i obtindre informació al voltant d’aquest entorn, i contrastar en quina mesura s’estan donant resposta a les necessitats que planteja. La tasca docent es veu influïda, i a més ha de donar respostes als canvis, necessitats i demandes de la societat. Per aquest motiu, el professorat ha de conèixer aquest marc sistèmic que és la societat, donat que en la seua dinàmica es troben les claus bàsiques per comprendre el treball professional que ha de realitzar l’alumnat als centres educatius. La importància d’aproximar-se al coneixement de l’entorn social des d’una perspectiva sociològica resideix en la seua component crítica i científica. Des de l’assignatura d’Estructura Social y Educació l’alumnat haurà de realitzar un informe d’investigació que descriga l’entorn en què va a inserir-se l’escola que somien. Aquesta descripció s’abordarà des d’una doble perspectiva: la quantitativa i la qualitativa. L’objectiu és que l’alumnat esdevinga familiar amb aquests mètodes d’obtenció i anàlisi de dades. D’aquesta forma, els grups elaboraran un informe escrit que constarà de dues parts en què: 1. D'una banda, es durà a terme una recollida de dades quantitatives per descriure el context demogràfic i socioeconòmic en què s'ubica l'escola, per a la qual cosa es proveirà de les fonts actualitzades pertinents; 2. D'altra banda, es durà a terme una pràctica d'entrevistes o grup de discussió, prioritàriament, amb pares i / o mares de xiquets/es escolaritzats en Ed. Infantil o Primària en funció del Grau cursat, i en cas de no tindre la possibilitat, amb mestres/as d'aquesta etapa, amb l'objectiu d'entendre millor les necessitats i demandes dels potencials usuaris de l'escola (les famílies) o d'altres per sones integrants de la comunitat educativa. Aquest informe de recerca, per al qual es proveirà de les instruccions oportunes, amb orientacions de forma i contingut, i que podrà ser elaborat en qualsevol de les llengües oficials de la Comunitat Valenciana, podrà ser incorporat directament a el Projecte Educatiu de Centre (PEC) que desenvolupen a nivell general en el Projecte Integrat.
