Presenta el potencial formativo que tiene el trabajo por proyectos cuando se le incorpora el servicio a la comunidad. La posibilidad de intervenir en el entorno con la voluntad de mejorarlo transforma la actividad de los alumnos, da sentido a los aprendizajes, ayuda a descubrir para qué sirve el conocimiento científico, exige la práctica continuada de competencias e invita a la participación ciudadana. En los diferentes capítulos se tratan los tres ejes sobre los que pivota un proyecto: fases de aplicación, dinamismos pedagógicos y rol de los educadores. Para abordarlos se alternan explicaciones sistemáticas, referencias a autores significativos de las pedagogías progresistas, propuestas heredadas de la Escuela Nueva y experiencias actuales de distintos ámbitos educativos.

This innovative textbook fulfills the needs of upper-division Spanish students who are pursuing degrees in the health professions, plan to become medical interpreters or just want to improve their proficiency in the language. It provides multiple opportunities to learn vocabulary related to the medical field, reviews hard-to-understand grammatical concepts, describes health-related cultural competence and presents opportunities to discuss issues of concern about the health of Hispanic communities in the US and abroad.

Winner of the SIG Moral Development and Education Book Award, granted by the American Educational Research Association! Education for Democratic Intercultural Citizenship (EDIC) is very relevant in contemporary societies. All citizens, but in particular teachers, curriculum developers, educational policy makers, and educational professionals in civil society (NGOs) have a crucial role in this. Seven European universities are working together in developing a curriculum to prepare their students for this important academic, societal and political task. As part of an Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership they each develop a module in the area of moral, intercultural and citizenship education. All modules are international and inquiry oriented, and make links with society. In this book the leading scholars write the theoretical background of their module, their curriculum guidelines and goals, the concrete programmes, and the experiences of students. The universities had an annual intensive programme in which students and teachers of all universities came together to have try-outs of parts of the modules. These programmes contributed strongly to the network building of researchers, teachers and students. The activities have given a strong stimulus to the implementation of Education for Democratic Intercultural Citizenship in the participating universities and in educational organisations worldwide. The experiences show both the necessity and the relevance of this topic and this kind of collaboration.
