La sociología dialógica de las comunidades de aprendizaje

Abstract

The processes of social exclusion are narrowly linked with the educational trajectories of individuals. In fact, this process is intensified by the present Knowledge Society, where school success improves the inclusion in the labour market and the participation in the different areas of the society (health, housing, politics, etc.). Considering this key role played by education, it is important to make a scientific commitment with the educational measures promoted as well as to connect them with utopias oriented to the transformation of inequalities. Sociology of education has a relevant role in this. It is necessary that teachers receive training on those educational practices recognized by the scientific international community and also a critical attitude regarding the educational inequalities. In this sense, school can reflect more than the social unequal relations of the environment and can contribute to the overcoming of these as long as the educational measures that are implemented are those recognized by science and not those based on occurrences. An example of these is the experience of inclusive school of Learning Communities.
