Information Center
The RED Program has organized an Information in Education Center aimed at strengthening its research capacity and that of the group of professors participating in its projects. It also fosters academic culture and provides a means of information to students and professionals in the field of Education. The Information in Education Center has bibliographic material that can be classified in 4 wide topics: 1) Education and socio-political context, comprising the relationship between society and education, educative and cultural policies in the context of globalization, the role of science in education, and texts of pedagogical criticism. 2) Educative knowhow, where you can find materials on pedagogy, didactics, teacher training, school culture, curriculum processes, evaluation, adolescence and school, educative innovation, and school management, among others. 3) Transversal axis, where there is bibliographic information on citizenship, environmental education, sexual education, ethnic education, communication and education, democracy, problem solving, and coexistence, among others. 4) Subject studies, among which you can find information on topics like the contributions to Education from different subjects like Psychology, Sociology, Philosophy, and Anthropology.
Our Information in Education Center also has an area dedicated to Educative Policy and Management, which was financed by the project "Creación de una base de actualización documental en Gestión y Política Educativa", carried out by the Red Program for the UNESCO International Institute for the Planning of Education (IIPE) located in Argentina (http://www.humanas.unal.edu.co/iipe/).
In no case the Center will make external book loans, neither will it send photocopies of materials by mail or any other means.
