The history of this practicum is characterized by the different decisions that have been taken, and the permanent questionings persistent questions that remain, in the nearly twenty years of operation. But, not only have the decisions made assumed an advanced or evolution of the practicum, but also the way in which these decisions have been made. The evolution has been through three currila which gave the opportunity to review and reflect what the practicum was, and what we want the practicum to be. The present, past and future of the practicum has been a process of reconstruction from the reflection and evaluation of the implied agents stakeholders. It has not been a solo career, but it has been a collective process that set the different training areas and the educational function from the stakeholders. The way we have went, and layout, has allowed us to evolve approaches, learning from shared experience and build our identity. This evolution can set practices within the Social Education Degree from a reciprocal partnership model, a model that has to be consolidated and tosystematized to continue to innovate collectively.
