El grado en educación social en la construcción del espacio europeo de educación superior

Abstract

The creation of the European Higher Education Area implies a deep change in, both, the studies structure and organisation of the European Universities, and also a modification in the conception of the curriculum and learning process of the students. The article provides some reflections on the challenges posed by the process of the creation of the European Higher Education Area, that was started in the nineties with the Sorbonne Joint Declaration (1998) and the Bologne Joint Declaration (1999). An analysis is provided on the current situation of the Spanish Universities in the process of creation of the EHEA, which has one of its main milestones in the year 2010. In this context, the articles analyses the current condition of the discipline of Social Education in Spain. It does so both from the formative and professional perspective, and assessing, respectively, the needs, competences and contents which must be taken on account in the process of curriculum design of the new degree in Social Education.
