Presentation
The Sociology of Education course provides a critical analysis of the relationship between education and society. Based on the foundations of Sociology, it explores the genesis and evolution of the school model, examining its role in social reproduction or transformation. It aims to develop skills in the sociological analysis of educational phenomena, which are fundamental for understanding and intervening in contemporary challenges in education. Through a theoretical-practical approach, it prepares master's students for an informed reflection on educational policies and practices, enabling them to research and intervene in different educational contexts, contributing to their construction of analytical tools to understand and influence the complex dynamics between education and society.
