A concepção de Pedagogia Social na formação dos Educadores Sociais na Espanha

Abstract

This text presents research data developed in a doctoral study from the methodological perspective of Comparative Education (GARCIA GARRIDO, 1986). In order to achieve the thesis objective, we opted for the analysis of the Social Pedagogy disciplines syllabus that compose the curricular proposal of the Undergraduate Course in Social Education of ten Spanish universities, namely: 1. National University of Distance Education; 2. Autonomous University of Barcelona; 3. University of Castilla-La Mancha; 4. Santiago de Compostela University; 5. University of Salamanca; 6. University of Deusto; 7. University of León; 8. University of Valencia; 9. University of Las Palmas de Gran Canarias; 10. University of Málaga. We also opted to combine the content analysis with comparative methodology (PEREZ SERRANO, 2003). The analysis of the syllabuses permitted to verify a persistent attempt to characterize Social Pedagogy as a Science that should articulate theory and practice as essence for the formation of the Social Educator.
