Las escuelas en América Latina están frente a una encrucijada: la de reproducir sociedades marcadas por los mayores niveles de desigualdad social del mundo o la de contribuir a hacer sociedades mas justas y solidarias. Para hacer lo segundo es esencial que los hijos de los más humildes tengan acceso a todos los niveles educativos y que sus maestros tengan la competencia y la disposición para permitirles aprender con niveles de excelencia los contenidos significativos que amplíen sus oportunidades en la vida, y con ello puedan ser más libres. El que los maestros que enseñan a los niños más desfavorecidos estén en condiciones de hacer esto depende de las políticas educativas de cada país. Este libro, escrito por algunos de los más reconocidos investigadores educativos latinoamericanos, analiza cuáles son los principales desafíos para lograr que los maestros garanticen el éxito académico de los hijos de los más pobres, y discute los resultados de las políticas educativas recientes, cuyo propósito ha sido apoyar a los profesores en estas tareas. En una perspectiva renovadora y original, que combina la discusión teórica, el cuidadoso análisis de evidencia empírica y el examen pragmático de las decisiones posibles en política educativa, este libro trata uno de los temas más álgidos y prioritarios para la reforma educativa en América Latina y en el mundo: las relaciones entre educación y desigualdad social. El texto será de interés para quienes tienen que tomar decisiones sobre política educativa, para maestros de aula, para profesores e investigadores universitarios y para aquellos políticos y ciudadanos interesados en que la educación ofrezca una verdadera esperanza de hacer a las sociedades más justas y democráticas.

The Routledge Handbook of Philosophies and Theories of Early Childhood Education and Care brings together leading writers in the field to provide a much-needed, authoritative guide to the major philosophies and theories which have shaped approaches to Early Childhood Education and Care. Providing a detailed overview of key concepts, debates and practical challenges, the handbook combines theoretical acumen with specific examples to show how philosophies and theories have evolved over the centuries and their impact on policy and society. It examines the ways in which societies define and make sense of childhood and the factors that influence the development of philosophies about young children and their learning. The collection offers an insight into the key theorists and considers how the economics and politics of their time and personal ideology influenced their ideas about childhood. It looks at curricula and provision which have proved inspirational and how these have impacted on policy and practice in different parts of the world. The handbook also explores alternative and perhaps less familiar philosophies and ideas about babies and young children, their place in society and the ways in which it might be appropriate to educate them Bringing together specially commissioned pieces by a range of international authors, this handbook will enable academics, research students, practitioners and policy-makers to reflect on their own understandings and approaches, as well as the assumptions made in their own and other societies.

The Palgrave International Handbook of Marxism and Education is an international and interdisciplinary volume, which provides a thorough and precise engagement with emergent developments in Marxist theory in both the global South and North. Drawing on the work of authoritative scholars and practitioners, the handbook explicitly shows how these developments enable a rich historical and material understanding of the full range of education sectors and contexts. The handbook proceeds in a spirit of openness and dialogue within and between various conceptions and traditions of Marxism and brings those conceptions into dialogue with their critics and other anti-capitalist traditions. As such, it contributes to the development of Marxist analyses that push beyond established limits, by engaging with fresh perspectives and views that disrupt established perspectives.
