En los últimos años ha ido cambiando de forma acelerada la composición del alumnado de nuestras escuelas. La inmigración ha dejado sentir sus efectos en unas aulas que a diario han devenido más diversas y cuyos matices debemos tener en cuenta para llevar a cabo nuestra labor docente. Este libro reflexiona sobre aquellos elementos que suelen constituirse en barreras a una enseñanza de las matemáticas inclusiva, para todos, sin distinciones, y aprovecha para proponer prácticas pedagógicas que superen las exclusiones siendo, a la vez, un punto de inicio para la inclusión. Presenta, pues, posibles alternativas de actuación dentro del aula y una visión de la enseñanza matemática como forma de crear vínculos entre culturas, de luchar por la convivencia, por un uso crítico y reflexivo de la matemática, tanto como herramienta de saber como de lucha por la justicia social.

La experiencia pedagógica que presentamos es la de convertir la clase de Ordenamiento Constitucional de 3.° de B. U. P. en las Cortes de Castilla-León con un grupo de alumnos que no es superior a cuarenta. De esta forma, como procuradores elegidos y agrupados en partidos y grupos parlamentarios distintos, se va analizando con una dinámica de trabajo activa y práctica la composición de las Cortes de Castilla-León, su Reglamento, su funcionamiento, la elección de sus órganos, sus funciones y, sobre todo, su trascendental labor para nuestra Comunidad, en cuanto que son las que nombran al Presidente del Gobierno o de la Junta de Castilla-León, realizan el control del mismo y son las encargadas de elaborar las leyes, proposiciones no de ley, etc... Además, la puesta en práctica de esta experiencia les acerca a la realidad demográfica, social-económica, política y cultural de nuestra Comunidad, incluyendo las más importantes actuaciones realizadas por las Cortes y Junta de Castilla-León. También pone a los alumnos en contacto con la Constitución Española de 1978. Y, finalmente, dota al alumno de hábitos y comportamientos democráticos.

Número de Páginas: 377

Au Venezuela, un homme affirme qu’il est possible de résister aux multinationales et de vaincre la pauvreté. On l’accuse de tous les péchés : ‘populiste’, ‘dictateur’, ‘antisémite’... Mais que se passe-t-il sur le terrain ? Quels sont ses véritables péchés ? Le pétrole est un enjeu majeur du monde actuel et nous lèverons le voile sur les agissements secrets d’Exxon, Shell ou Total. Mais la question va plus loin que le pétrole... Quel type d’économie peut vaincre la pauvreté ? Une véritable démocratie est-elle possible ? Ces enjeux concernent toute l’Amérique latine, mais aussi le Moyen-Orient, l’Afrique et même l’Europe... Que vaut notre info ? L’Amérique latine dans les médias, c’est très simple. Il y a le carnaval à Rio, le tango à Buenos-Aires et la drogue en Colombie. Ah oui, il y a aussi ‘Chavez le populiste’. Au lieu de cette image stéréotypée, ne pourrait-on nous montrer la vraie vie des Latinos ? Presqu’un sur deux vit sous le seuil de pauvreté. Pourquoi ? Par contre, sept ou huit sont devenus multimilliardaires en quelques années. Comment ? 44% de pauvres en Amérique latine. Cessez de voir ça comme une...

Together, Paloma and John Levi hunger and thirst for justice and mercy for the neighbors of the church and for Paloma and her daughter. At first, Paloma is angered by any talk about the presence and power of a God whom she believes has failed to answer her prayers. John Levi is convinced that God is calling him to rescue Paloma from her plight but crosses a line in protecting her from evil men. Facing the consequences of his actions, John Levi struggles with the limitations imposed upon his hunger for justice by the Way of Jesus. Both Paloma and John Levi transcend the crisis to find a new faith.

La légende du Graal chez Jacques Roubaud

Autor: Leticia Ding

Número de Páginas: 579

Jacques Roubaud bâtit un dialogue audacieux entre le Moyen Âge et la modernité à travers sa réécriture du Graal. Dans Graal Théâtre, écrit avec Florence Delay, il recrée le cycle arthurien en respectant la structure médiévale tout en l’actualisant. Cette réécriture, nourrie d’anachronismes, illustre la poétique médiévale et les procédés de création modernes. La dramaturgie du texte restitue l’oralité des récits médiévaux, en écho aux travaux de Paul Zumthor sur la vocalité. Cette quête de la voix se prolonge dans ses adaptations pour la jeunesse, où le conteur occupe une place centrale. Mais l’écriture de Roubaud dépasse la simple reprise des hypotextes médiévaux : par un processus d’auto-réécriture, il tisse un réseau intratextuel qui fait écho au travail des écrivains médiévaux. Son œuvre, à la fois autonome et autoréflexive, interroge les pratiques de création littéraire contemporaines en les rapprochant de celles du Moyen Âge, fondées sur la renaissance plutôt que sur l’invention ex nihilo.

Théologie pratique - Quelles formations ? Contenus, pratiques et pédagogies

Autor: Christine Aulenbacher

Número de Páginas: 218

Dans le domaine de la formation, tant dans les disciplines traditionnelles de la théologie que de l’accompagnement psychopédagogique de publics adultes, l’évolution de la théologie a été surtout pensée à partir de ses contenus bien plus qu’à partir de ses publics. Or, les publics en formation, aujourd’hui, sont en pleine mutation. La prise en compte de cette nouvelle réalité est une donnée essentielle pour la recherche en théologie pratique et en pédagogie religieuse. Par ailleurs, le déplacement du savoir théologique et de sa transmission des clercs vers des laïcs, induit de facto un changement des approches, mais également une évolution épistémologique. Le savoir théologique ne se conçoit plus seulement en termes de transmission de corps de doctrine ; s’agissant de la théologie pratique, il suppose également une mise en contexte. Dès lors, les offres de formations théologiques et pastorales (théories et pratiques) ne devraient-elles pas être pensées à partir des demandes et des exigences des nouveaux publics ?

Adoré, questionné, conspué... Le pape François suscite nombre d'interrogations. Ses ambitions libérales ont désarçonné nombre d'institutions et de groupes qui avaient prospéré sous ses prédécesseurs... Alors que les rumeurs d'une possible démission prochaine se font entendre, voici la biographie complète d'un pape réformateur. Élu le 13 mars 2013 au siège de saint Pierre, le pape François aura mis en oeuvre bien des réformes... quitte à bouleverser l'Église. Soucieux de l'avenir de la planète, il aura plaidé en faveur de l'écologie dans l'encyclique Laudato si'. Pour tenter d'éradiquer les abus sexuels, il aura pris des mesures radicales en appelant à la mobilisation générale dans sa " Lettre au peuple de Dieu ". Confronté à l'appel des migrants, il leur aura ouvert, au sens propre comme au figuré, les portes de l'Église. Enfin, le Vatican n'est plus un paradis fiscal. Mais ses décisions et prises de position ont suscité bien des reproches. Fondée sur une enquête approfondie, menée notamment à Rome, cette biographie retrace toute la vie du pape, depuis son enfance à Buenos Aires au sein d'une famille d'immigrés italiens jusqu'aux conclaves...

Le pape qui voulait changer l'église

Número de Páginas: 435

Adoré, questionné, conspué... Le pape François suscite des réactions diverses. Ses ambitions libérales ont désarçonné nombre d'institutions et de groupes qui avaient prospéré sous ses prédécesseurs... Alors que les rumeurs d'une possible démission prochaine se font entendre, voici le portrait de l'homme qui veut changer l'Eglise. En ce dimanche des Rameaux 2020, le pape François a choisi de centrer son homélie sur le thème de la trahison et de l'abandon. Comment ne pas lire ses mots terribles comme le sous- titre des luttes qui se déroulent aujourd'hui au Vatican et jusqu'aux confins de l'Église catholique universelle ? Comment ne pas y voir les successeurs de Judas : ce quarteron de cardinaux à la retraite, ces réseaux traditionalistes, riches de relais financiers et médiatiques ; ces fonctionnaires zélés de leur propre inertie, bureaucrates qui n'attendent que la mort (ou la démission) de François pour reprendre leurs affaires, leur petite routine ? Fondée sur une enquête menée à Rome, cette biographie explore sept ans de pontificat et éclaire les difficultés rencontrées par un pape en butte à une farouche opposition interne, qui rêvait de...

Human Rights and Schooling

Autor: Audrey Osler

Número de Páginas: 193

Most of the struggles for equitable schooling, including multicultural curricula and culturally responsive teaching, have largely taken place on a local or national stage, with little awareness of how international human rights standards might support these struggles. Human Rights and Schooling explores the potential of human rights frameworks to support grassroots struggles for justice and examines the impact that human rights and child rights education can make in the lives of students, including the most marginalized. The author, Audrey Osler, examines the theory, research, and practice linking human rights to education in order to broaden the concept of citizenship and social studies education. Bringing scholarship and practice together, the text uses concrete examples to illustrate the links between principles and ideals and actual efforts to realize social justice in and through education. Osler anchors her examination of human rights in the U.N Convention on the Rights of the Child, as well as the U.N. Declaration on Human Rights Education and Training. “Audrey Osler offers timely and relevant insights into education for human rights and social justice. The book examines...

Número de Páginas: 241

The United States demography is changing rapidly. How are we capturing these shifts? Do the racial categories that exist accurately represent the individuals who fall into them?

This volume brings together the expertise of scholars from a range of disciplines to explore the current state of racial heterogeneity, data practice, and educational inequality. They offer recommendations to guide future research, practice, and policy with the goal of better understanding and meeting the needs of our diverse student population in the years to come. Book Features: Contributes both conceptual and practical knowledge toward understanding the relevance of data practices that impact racial inequality—important for both researchers and practitioners.Highlights the relevance of racial heterogeneity broadly, but also its significance for particular racial groups—for example, Pacific Islanders and mixed-race/multiracial students—who are largely...

Transformative Ethnic Studies in Schools

Autor: Christine E. Sleeter , Miguel Zavala

Número de Páginas: 177

This timely and compelling book conceptualizes Ethnic Studies not only as a vehicle to transform and revitalize the school curriculum but also as a way to reinvent teaching. Drawing on Sleeter’s research review on the impact of Ethnic Studies commissioned by the National Education Association (NEA), the authors show how the traditional curriculum’s Eurocentric view of the world affects diverse student populations. The text highlights several contemporary exemplars of curricula—from classroom level to district or state-wide—illustrating core concepts in Ethnic Studies across a variety of disciplines and grade levels. A final chapter considers how research on P–12 ethnic studies can be conceptualized and conducted in ways that further both advocacy and program sustainability. Transformative Ethnic Studies in Schools is essential reading for educators working to transform schools by rehumanizing learning spaces for all students. Book Features: Explores how the traditional curriculum is not ideologically neutral and the effect that has on both students of color and White students.Situates Ethnic Studies within anti-racist movements to decolonize schooling.Illustrates the...

Teaching and Learning on the Verge

Autor: Shanti Elliott

Número de Páginas: 241

Our changing world demands that all students become agile thinkers who can grow sturdy interpersonal and civic relationships. This book proposes that teachers who think of learning as "playing with power" tap the creative and subversive energies of young people, making academic work far more consequential than a piece of paper with a grade on it. Young people must learn to play democracy just as they might play a violin or a sport: not as a game of "let's pretend," but fully participating in the language, spaces, and possibilities of public life. Based on 20 years of teaching experience and research in schools across the US, Teaching and Learning on the Verge demonstrates how educators in all disciplines can integrate civic engagement, multicultural literacy, and leadership into their classrooms and programs. Featuring voices from literature and philosophy in dialogue with the living stage of classrooms, streets, and community spaces, this book offers an imaginative and practical guide to democratic education.
