En la época del relativismo, ¿cómo es posible que los mismos principios tiendan a aplicarse de manera homogénea en todo el mundo, olvidando precisamente que las circunstancias sociales y culturales hacen imposible tal uniformidad, máxime cuando disponemos de suficiente conocimiento pedagógico como para saber sobradamente que no existen recetas para educar? La única respuesta parece ser que el nuevo orden económico mundial, basado en el neoliberalismo, manifiesta su hegemonía en todos los ámbitos sociales, requiriendo una educación que forme en aquellos aspectos que las corporaciones multinacionales necesitan, y que al tiempo convierta el sistema educativo en parte del mundo de los negocios del que es posible obtener beneficios económicos. En donde así se consiga, se dice que es de «calidad». De este modo, la lógica neoliberal perfila no sólo el ámbito económico, sino también el político, el educativo y el cultural.

The complexity of the various forms of knowledge and practices that are encountered by teachers, university lecturers, teacher trainers, student teachers, policy makers and researchers, demands careful thought and reflection. Professional Knowledge in Music Teacher Education focuses on how knowledge is understood, what theories are held and the related assumptions that are made about teachers and learners, as well as how theory and practice can be understood, with useful and imaginative connections made between the two in music teacher education. Internationally renowned contributors address a number of fundamental questions designed to take the reader to the heart of current debates around knowledge, practice, professionalism, and learning and teaching in music as well as considering how all these elements are influenced by economic, cultural and social forces. The book demonstrates how research can inform pedagogical approaches in music teacher education; methods, courses and field experiences, and prepare teachers for diverse learners from a range of educational settings. The book will appeal to those interested in the development of appropriate professional knowledge and pedagogic practices in music teacher education.

Reflecting on the methodological issues involved in researching digital spaces with children, this book shares good practices and delves into the ethics of such research. Social media has completely redefined how children and young people relate to each other, express themselves, and present their identities and sexualities. Yet researching social media can be a difficult and daunting task given the ephemerality of the content, its contextual hyperspecificity, the complex power relationships between users, celebrity culture, digital capitalism, and the ethical issues that arise from the reimagining of the public/private space. Using digital ethnography and creative digital storytelling workshops with children and young people aged 13-15 and 13-18 on TikTok, Instagram, and Twitch, this book studies their interactions, language, codes, the risks they take, and the victimizations they suffer. Researching Social Media with Children will be of use to social scientists conducting online research, and to students and scholars of media studies, digital criminology, psychology, and sociology. [The authors draw on experiences from studies carried out in Spain on children and social media by the Knowledge-Research Group on Social Problems at Universidad Europea de Madrid.]

El embarazo en la adolescencia es considerado como un riesgo para la salud materna e infantil, así como un factor que contribuye al desmesurado crecimiento de la población, a la deserción escolar, y a la perpetuación de la pobreza, al coartar las posibilidades de desarrollo familiar. Sus causas se atribuyen principalmente a la sexualidad precoz y a la falta de información y de acceso a los métodos anticonceptivos. Esta publicación pone en cuestión los supuestos antes mencionados, destacando dos factores realmente subyacentes a esta problemática: la pobreza y la desigualdad, que dejan pocas oportunidades alternativas de desarrollo a una gran cantidad de nuestros jóvenes, y la falta de una verdadera educación para el ejercicio de la sexualidad que les permita enfrentarse con responsabilidad a este aspecto tan central para su vida.

While education is an inherently political field and practice, and while the political struggles that radical philosophy takes up necessarily involve education, there remains much to be done at the intersection of education and radical philosophy. That so many intense political struggles today actually center educational processes and institutions makes this gap all the more pressing. Yet in order for this work to be done, we need to begin to establish common frameworks and languages in and with which to move. Keywords in Radical Philosophy and Education takes up this crucial and urgent task. Dozens of emerging and leading activists, organizers, and scholars assemble a collective body of concepts to interrogate, provoke, and mobilize contemporary political, economic, and social struggles. This wide-ranging edited collection covers key and innovative philosophical and educational themes—from animals, sex, wind, and praxis, to studying, podcasting, debt, and students. This field-defining work is a necessary resource for all activists and academics interested in exploring the latest conceptual contributions growing out of the intersection of social struggles and the university.
