ACADEMIC COORDINATION : Nicolás Arata (CLACSO and University of Buenos Aires, Argentina)

Virtual format | July to December 2020


The COVID-19 pandemic brought the role of schools and strategies for maintaining educational continuity to the forefront of public debate. On one hand, voices are once again being raised that speak of the end of school, offering private platforms for content development as a replacement. On the other hand, there are those who maintain that schools are irreplaceable, as they are the institutions that guarantee—along with the right to education—a set of basic rights. Defending schools does not mean, however, shirking the urgent need to work on their transformation, to continue building a democratic school that promotes cooperative learning, horizontal dialogue, and the preservation of the common good. This Diploma program is designed as a conversation around the contributions of pedagogical thought in Latin America, establishing a critical and creative approach to some of the central topics that shape life in schools.

GENERAL PURPOSE

  • To provide perspectives and conceptual tools that allow for a more complex and enriched pedagogical reading of contemporary educational problems and challenges.

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES

  • Update the approaches to analyze the social characteristics in which schools, subjects of education, and teaching practices are embedded.
  • Reconstruct the main elements of the pedagogical debates, identifying their trends and effects on educational development.
  • To offer elements for the analysis of educational institutions in the context of contemporary cultural, social and political debates.
The Higher Diploma in Education is aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students; teachers at all levels; activists and members of trade unions, social movements and political parties; public officials; members and managers of non-governmental organizations and professionals interested in educational issues.
