Basic Information

Presentation

Current education, both traditional and innovative, often makes the same mistake: it focuses on "how to be." It gives us models, skills, and standards that, unintentionally, teach our students to construct "personas" to be accepted and to hide in "refuges" (success, complacency, perfectionism…) to survive. The result is a society of exhausted people, disconnected from themselves and trapped in falsehood.

The Microcredential in Sensitive Education radically breaks with that paradigm. We don't focus on "how to be," but on accompanying each person in the discovery of "who I am." We offer you a profound pedagogical framework to free your students (and yourself) from those limiting masks. You will learn to cultivate the unique "originality" of each individual, giving them the tools to build their "inner home." The goal is to develop authentic people who, from their original selves, are capable of creating a "mature 'we'": a creative, cohesive, and socially responsible community.

The title is organized by the Research Group on Foundations of Education and Educational Social Responsibility (FERSE).

Objectives

Knowledge (CO)

  • Identify the theoretical foundations of Sensitive Education, differentiating its features and principles from those of a "non-sensitive education"
  • Understanding the model of the "iceberg of personal (or community) development" and its relationship with the "personal brand" (or "community brand"), as an assessment tool for self-knowledge and support.

Skills or Abilities (H)

  • Applying the techniques of "sensitive accompaniment" in the personal and family helping relationship to facilitate processes of self-knowledge and personal growth.
  • Design educational resources, practical tools and evaluation systems adapted to family and school contexts, based on the principles of Sensitive Education.

Competencies (C)

  • To manage one's own "sensitive self-education" process autonomously and responsibly, applying the principles of the course to the development of an authentic and coherent personal brand.
  • To lead, with a strategic vision, the integration of Educational Social Responsibility (ESR) plans into the culture and documents of a center, promoting its transformation towards a sensitive organization.

Programme

  1. Foundations of Sensitive Education. Explore the anthropological and pedagogical foundations of the model. Define the key concepts of originality and inner home for a fulfilling education.
  2. Personal branding and sensitive support. Discover the authentic personal brand and learn how to support others, addressing the barriers of the "personal iceberg" and perception wounds.
  3. Practice of Sensitive Education in the family. Apply the principles of Sensitive Education to the family unit to transform the home into a space of safety, growth, and emotional validation.
  4. Practice of Sensitive Education in the classroom and the school. Practical strategies for creating sensitive learning communities, fostering a "mature we" and attending to the originality of each student.
  5. Educational Social Responsibility (CSRdu) in action plans. Learn to design and implement CSR action plans for education, transforming the educational center into an agent of transformation and social responsibility.
  6. Final Applied Project. The course culminates in this intervention project (15-20 pages). It is not a theoretical thesis, but a practical exercise where the student must analyze a real-world situation (their classroom, a case study, a plan for their school, etc.) from the perspective of Sensitive Education and design a coherent improvement proposal. Its objective is to assess the integration of all the competencies of the degree.
