Nova publicació a Higher Education Research & Development

HERDHa estat publicat a la revista Higher Education Research & Development (ISSN de versión online: 1469-8366), l’article “The state of ethical learning of students in the Spanish university system: considerations for the European higher education area”, escrit per Maria Rosa Buxarrais, Francisco Esteban i Teodor Mellen.

Resum:

With the establishment of the European higher education area (EHEA), the ethical learning of students is a matter of central importance in European universities. This paper examines the current state of ethical learning of students in the Spanish university system. We present the results of a descriptive survey, which used a training model for university students and examined their ethical development in three categories: the construction of self, learning in fellowship and socio-moral reflection. The results of the survey reflect the current situation of ethical training among Spanish students and enable us to propose certain measures for consolidating and enhancing ethical development with the Spanish universities of the EHEA.

Nova publicació a Revista de Universidad y Sociedad del Conocimiento

Logo RUSCHa estat publicat aquest mes de juliol a la Revista de Universidad y Sociedad del Conocimiento (ISSN 1698-580X), l’article Concepciones del profesorado universitario sobre la formación ética y ciudadana en el Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior: un estudio de caso, escrit per Francisco Esteban, Teodor Mellen i Maria Rosa Buxarrais.

Resum
La formació ètica i per a la ciutadania està essent objecte de debat des de la implantació de l’espai europeu d’educació superior. Resulta interessant que així sigui, doncs es tracta d’un tipus de formació que forma part de la missió formativa de la universitat, tal i com la seva història s’ha encarregat de demostrar-nos. Aquest tipus de formació no pot ser analitzada només des de la pedagogia que requereix, les competències que s’han de fomentar o el tipus d’estudiants i professionals que la contemporaneitat necessita. El seu bon desenvolupament també necessita endinsar-se en què entén el professorat universitari per aquesta formació, en quin estat creu que es troba i cóm conceb als seus estudiants al respecte. Aquest treball presenta l’estudi del cas de professorat de diverses universitats europees de les àrees d’educació, filosofia i humanitats..

Ha estat recentment publicat l’article “Telling Stories about the Value of Co-responsibility: An educational strategy to train Spanish families in the values of the work-life balance“, escrit per Maria Rosa Buxarrais (UB) i Alexandro Escudero (UB), a la revista Wulfenia Journal (ISSN 1561 – 882X).

Resum:
The entry of women into the workplace has not resulted in a just reallocation of the family’s household chores. This situation has had two adverse effects: first, mothers experience difficulties in achieving a good work-family life balance; and, second, unwelcome changes occur in the children’s health, their performance at school, and in their ability to make constructive use of their leisure time. An educational proposal has been drawn up, designed to foster values for achieving a better work-life balance and adhering to the principles of: 1) placing the teaching of the values of co-responsibility at the heart of the family project; 2) taking appropriate action in the early years of the children’s lives; 3) telling true or fictitious stories about the values of co-responsibility; and 4) engaging the children in dialogue so they might reflect on these values through informal, spontaneous activities of recreation. Our research, conducted using grounded theory, identifies the strategies that families in Barcelona (Spain) adopt on a day-to-day basis to achieve a good work-life balance. Our results show that families have various practical concerns, but one overriding worry: they all express the hope that their children will grow up to be happy, decent people; yet they do not implement any systematic actions to achieve this objective.

Nova publicació a The New Educational Review

EduReview2013Ha estat recentment publicat a la revista The New Educational Review (ISSN 1732-6729), l’article What do University Teachers Think about the Teaching in Ethics and Citizenship in the European Higher Education Area?, escrit per Francisco Esteban, Maria Rosa Buxarrais i Teodor Mellen.

Resum:
Ethics and citizenship education has become the focus of considerable debate since the construction of the European Higher Education Area. That this should be so is interesting, as it is a type of education that forms part of the educational mission of the university, as its history plainly demonstrates. Ethics and citizenship education cannot be analyzed solely in terms of its pedagogical requirements, the competences that it seeks to develop, or the type of students and professionals that the world needs today. Its success also requires our exploring what university teachers understand by this type of education, the situation it currently finds itself in, and how students perceive such an education. This paper presents a case study conducted among university teachers of education, philosophy and the humanities at several European institutions.
