La Antropología de la Educación como disciplinaproyecto de diseño

Resumen

The anthropological roots of education have been the subject of reflection and investigation since the time of Socrates up to the present day. But its systemisation as an element of the curriculum of Education Sciences does not boast such a long history. Indeed most of its development ocurred in the latter half of the 20th century, thanks just as much to the work of the philosophical community as the scientific. Germany and the United States of America in particular have led the field in related studies, although from different perspectives and using different terminology. Nowadays, there is still a double aspect to the approach to this subject: philosophic on the one hand scientific on the other, both of which are reflected in the subject matter officially promoted by the MEC for use in foundation (Spanish; "troncal") courses in the new degrees offered at university level. An empirical study will show us how Spanish Universities are settting up their own programmes. Based on relevant aspects of History, Epistemology, Educational Administration and the Universities own experiences, the authors will undertake the submission of a Programme Design proposal, which will not, by any means, be the first of its kind, not the most perfect.
