Los Retos Educativos Ante los Nuevos Modelos de Crianza
Saturday March 8, 2025 11:00am - 12:00pm CET
Second Floor
En los últimos años los modelos de crianza han cambiado significativamente en nuestra sociedad, afectando el desarrollo infantil y las dinámicas educativas. Consideramos que los aspectos cruciales de las diferentes etapas de desarrollo evolutivo conllevan una serie de funciones psíquicas. Desde la Psicología Clínica se observan cambios en las problemáticas de los menores desde hace unos años hasta la actualidad. A través del puente entre la Psicología y la Pedagogía se reflexiona acerca de cómo estos cambios emergen también en la escuela, influyendo en los procesos de aprendizaje. Reflexionamos sobre cómo la escuela puede adaptarse y convertirse en un agente de cambio en este nuevo contexto.  
Objetivos:  
  • Destacar la relevancia de las principales fases del desarrollo evolutivo  
  • Profundizar en las funciones psíquicas que intervienen en los aspectos críticos de las etapas de desarrollo.  
  • Describir la sintomatología de los niños y niñas que asisten a nuestras escuelas.  
  • Reflexionar sobre el papel que ocupa la propia escuela en este contexto social como agente transformador

Help Me Strap on This Jetpack: Propelling Learner Autonomy [Roundtable]
Saturday March 8, 2025 12:00pm - 1:00pm CET
First Floor
This theatrical presentation will explore the journey to becoming lifelong, autonomous learners. Participants will be asked to play the different competencies that underpin self-determined learning. (Don't worry, no prior acting experience needed). As the tale of two learners unfolds--one with robust autonomy skills, and another with malnourished ones--we will witness the ways in which learners need support, space, and psychological safety to successfully grow towards higher levels of agency and autonomy.
