This book explores how Cuba’s famously successful and inclusive education system has formed young Cubans’ political, social, and moral identities in a country transfigured by new inequalities and moral compromises made in the name of survival. The author examines this educational experience from the perspective of those who grew up in the years of economic crisis following the fall of the Soviet Union, charting their ideals, their frustrations and their struggle to reconcile revolutionary rhetoric with twenty-first century reality.

Though certainly not a new idea, citizenship education manifests in unique and often unpredictable ways in our contemporary neoliberal era. The question of what it means to be a productive and recognized citizen must now be understood simultaneously along both global and local lines. This edited volume offers an international perspective on citizenship education enacted in specific socio-political contexts. Each chapter includes a pointed conceptualization of citizenship education—a philosophical framework—that is then applied to specific national cases across Europe, Asia, Canada and more. Chapters emphasize how such frameworks are implemented within local contexts, encouraging particular pedagogical/curricular practices even as they constrain others. Chapters conclude with suggestions for productive change and how educators might usefully engage contemporary contexts through citizenship education.

The intersection of philosophy and sociology within the realm of education is a dynamic field that offers profound insights into the fundamental principles and practices shaping educational systems globally. By examining the philosophical underpinnings of education, we gain a deeper understanding of how educational environments are influenced and constructed. This interdisciplinary approach not only enriches theoretical discussions but also has practical implications for curriculum development, policymaking, and the fostering of equitable and inclusive learning experiences. Educational Philosophy and Sociological Foundation of Education provides a comprehensive understanding of educational philosophy and its sociological underpinnings. Through a series of chapters authored by experts in the field, this book delves into various philosophical concepts and their implications for educational practices, while also exploring the sociological dimensions influencing educational systems. Covering topics such as academic achievement, outcome-based education, and universal design, this book is an excellent resource for graduate and postgraduate students, educators, researchers, policymakers, academicians, administrators, sociologists, and more.

En un entorno social y cultural en el que la mayor parte de las comunicaciones son mediadas por tecnologías la educación mediática se convierte en un requisito indispensable para el desarrollo de la autonomía personal de los ciudadanos y la plena implementación de una cultura democrática. Por ello, el mundo académico debería conceder una importancia capital a la educación mediática. En el libro se parte de esta premisa y se recogen los resultados y conclusiones de una investigación I+D+i sobre la situación de la educación mediática en la universidad española, tanto en los grados de educación como en los de comunicación. Del análisis de toda la información obtenida se extraen conclusiones sobre fuerzas y flaquezas, carencias y retos de la educación mediática en el marco de la Cultura Digital.
