De lateoría a la práctica. El proceso de diseño e implantación de los grados de geografía en las Universidades Españolas

Abstract

The adaptation to the European Higher Education Area is being the penultimate phase of a long process of change in the academic Geography in Spain. More than in other previous reforms, the new Degrees involve several major challenges to the geographic community. The most important of these is to design a system less focused on knowledge and much more on learning abilities and skills by students, less on the teacher and more on the student. All this aims to improve opportunities for students' employability. Without forgetting some inertia that still remains, this paper provides an analysis of the process of implementation of new Degrees in Geography in Spain.
