The treatment of problems of our world in the primary education. Study with teachers in initial training

Abstract

The pace of change in our world poses to school a new way to address the problems of our world. This research pretend to deepen in the ideas that teachers in initial training have about to work socioenvironmental problems in Primary classrooms. The study was conducted in two Spanish Universities. We opted for open-ended questionnaire and data analysis with SPSS and Atlas.Ti. The data suggest that the lack of consensus between topics that are relevant and the topics which may or may not be in the stage of Primary generate controversy and debate. This leads us to reflect on the role of education today.
