The revival of co-education / school segregated as debate has resurfaced in recent years. Due to their impact on the creation of new segregated schools, we should consider reflect in to it.

Freedom of model school choice has been the argument made from areas close to the conservative neo-liberalism, whose frame of reference is negative freedom.His approach is that the separate school is the most efficient instrument to fight the old gender stereotypes and to provide more facilities for women, because children have different abilities. However, it is to be immensely inconvenient and contradictory.


“…Instead of deconstructing these behaviors and reduce its artificiality, is to avoid the problem through the segregation"


Certain educational trends of the "feminism of the difference" show sympathy for segregated education because they understand that the male student dominates the class, so the woman is delayed, thereby lowering the academic standards of both. But instead of trying to deconstruct these behaviors and reduce their artificiality is to avoid the problem through segregation. Other feminisms…

This hyper-economicist view,has been accentuated by the economic crisis, and forgets that in school individuals in society are forged, not merely productive subjects, and education from their illustrated formulations was conceived as the key vehicle by on which to build a humanism in egalitarian sense.

We emphasized the transcendence of spread Early Stimulation in Human Development. So much so that we are contributing ideas to improve, promote and prevent development alterations not only in the educational, social and health but also to the family level.

 
Our conception
is holistic,that is, seeingthe human being asa whole,this allows us toassertthat early stimulationisa techniqueof technicians,but is anaturaland propertechniquethat humanshave,and thatthepassage of time, obligations,commitmentsand more work, we are losingmore and morethis qualityso characteristicthatdistinguishes us andjoinedusfor a long timeand nowseparates us.


We say that ES is as old as Man, is as unique as the practitioner and as the recipient. This discipline crosses all the others, enriched with each one provides, so in Stimultaion, we  speak of transdisciplinarity. Its origin as a technique was directed towards children with disabilities, but we now know that any human being need this technique to live.

EDUCATING FOR LIFE.
 METHODOLOGICAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL URGENT CHANGE TO RECOVER THE SCHOOL, AND DIGNITY OF TEACHERS

 

If the school does not respect the building needs of children or the demands of the environment experienced by the child, pedagogy becomes the art of learning, of making work and of and to drink to someone who has no thirst (…) Today's kids do not react like yesterday, not interested in school work because it is anachronistic, because it has nothing to do with life. (...) We need to find something else. Pedagogy needs to be restored to life." (Freinet, 1964). 

With these and other reflections on the work done in schools born the ASTURIAS COOPERATIVE EDUCATION ASSOCIATION (ECO Asturias). 

It is a nonprofit organization formed by a group of teachers who are looking for a methodological and organizational change in schools. It is a nonprofit organization formed by a group of teachers who seek to change organizational and methodological schools, still anchored in a model of teaching too rigid and standardized, and more individualized work-oriented and competition rather than to cooperation.

 
This is exacerbated by excessive dependence on for-profit publishers, who strive to do the work of teachers, distorting the reflection exercise with students, teamwork, the adaptation of education to the social fact and the reality in which our students developed, standardizing the acquisition of knowledge and making it difficult to focus on diversity.

On a tour of the education laws since the middle of last century until today, we see an evolution in terminology, but in reality little or nothing seems to change in the school and the classroom: the proof is the educational conflicts, the data concerning the abandonment and school failure, the Pisa results, etc.


ECOAsturias intends to participate in improving this situation, providing teachers with the use of strategies in which students participate actively in theteaching-learning process through active and cooperative methods, which can establish positive interdependence, face to face interactions, individual and group responsibilities, promoting interpersonal relationships and social abilities, reflection, research ...

In sum, a different wayto make school andto developbasic skills, to help students become proficient, to be able to apply learned knowledge to solving problems in a personal, educational and social context.

UNIVERSAL EDUCATION:

COVERING ALL DIMENSIONS
 OF THE PERSON
 



The predominant current education's main objective is to train people who can make a living and social success. that is not usually educate the whole person, including all dimensions of being, and therefore has important shortcomings.

Basic competences tests or selectivity, evaluated basically the ability to remember information and the logical-mathematical and
verbal-linguistic intelligence. This summarizes a student's academic record.

But the reality of everyday life shows that this is not enough to cope successfully with life and satisfy the natural desire of satisfaction, meaning and fulfillment that we all share.


"Emotional management and in particular the development of intrapersonal intelligence help to resolve any unexpected situation"


Universal Education proposes to incorporate into the school curriculum, education in other dimensions of the person. These include emotional management and in particular the development of intrapersonal intelligence, which comes to be, the knowledge of one's own mind and its mechanisms, which helps to solve successfully problems such as stress, death of a loved one or any other unexpected situation.In fact, thanks to introspection techniques we have today, it can really help everyone to be better about themselves and their environment, to find meaning in life, which undoubtedly affects a society more harmonious and peaceful.

EDUCATION AND SCIENCE:
FUTURE CHALLENGES

 

The child returns after his first day of school:

-         How about that? - Asks the mother.

-         Ppsss, regular - laments the child - The teacher did not explain it all finished, and we have to return tomorrow.

Since immemorial times, education and people who are dedicated to it, through research, thoughts, actions, content, time and effort; carry it as if it were a slab, an implicit burden difficult to disentangle:

Our educational world, it is only understandable from pedagogical approaches or assumptions."With this restrictive maxim, we reduce our field of view (and therefore of action and intervention) to those positions that have historically been part of the large block of Humanities and Social Sciences.

It is not uncommon to hear from the education community sentences like: "What will have to do quantum physics with education?or that another "pure sciences such as biology, mathematics, medicine or other, are things of the scientists. We work with people." Wrong.

In case you do not already know, people of the scientific world contribute with their experiments and studies to a better and deeper understanding of human behavior, social relations, the modus operandi of the individual and the community in which it resides, the migratory movements, the existing social and economic inequalities, etc, etc ...

Do not believe me? Turn on the archaic and almost atavistic educational enemy: the TV, on Sunday at 9 p.m. in the channel 2.  “Redes” (networks) will give many reasons to think that we, the educational community, were so young to thought we knew everything about our universe and did not want to go to school after the first day.

EDITORIAL


AUTHORIZED TO KNOW


The ordinate erudition and his outstanding figures have grown and developed his work under a system which promoted through examinations and tests his worth. Under these assumptions, society accepts studies arising from refuted peoplebacked with titles and various controls.
They are authorized to know and to be. And they seem to be the evidence that this order is fair. Or at least, they wath to be maintained.
They suspect of those who do want to join. They face potential accrediting system changes(asachieved through constant practice or observation), to prevent these individuals are included in their disciplines that were so hard won.
Efficiency, capacity, do not enter in valoration in a system that certifies the theoretical tests, although this may imply a total lack of reality.
 Corporate bonds of solidarity will be strong in this sense, and the wise corporation will feature advantaged students who  met this stereotype or fullstatus in normal schools focused on stabilized classroom program, so it can never be  jeopardized.
This costs money, of course. The titles are expensive. Administrative procedures are loaded. The years of study are accompanied by aneconomic apparatus. This also explains why there are some people within it.

 It would begood to reflect on why, when something new comes into the system, quickly create titles for this, although its appearance has not implied the need for such accreditation. The new titles are stabilized. Investigate which ones do it and which left out, is a good clue to understanding what the state of things is, and who occupy the relevant spaces.
