Synopsis

The purpose of this book is to continue a collective publishing project that began with (Re)Pensar la Educación Pública (Rethinking Public Education). Contributions from Argentina and Brazil, where we recovered the work of professors who participated in courses, seminars, and conferences given within the framework of the Binational Program of Associated Graduate Centers Argentina/Brazil (CAPG-BA), between the Doctorate in Education Sciences at the National University of Córdoba and the Doctorate in Education at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP).

In this volume, the topics addressed by the professors and researchers from both institutions reflect the diversity and priorities of the region's educational research agendas.

Teacher training, curriculum policies, assessment, teaching technologies, and educational practices for young people and adults in diverse schooling settings are powerful concepts addressed through the systematic and rigorous reflection provided by research in our countries.

This book is divided into two parts. The first part contains a series of articles that examine, from different and complementary analytical perspectives, teacher training (initial and in-service), curriculum policies, and educational practices, linking macro and micro contexts of production and intervention. The second part brings together chapters on subjects and schooling processes in diverse contexts.
