This subject looks at the educational relationship between family and society. Both educational contexts will be established and the importance of family education and the difference between programmed (school) and spontaneous (family) education will be discussed. These distinctions will lead to the analysis of formal, non-formal and informal education. Also, the relationship between family and school will be studied.
When talking about family, the different stages in its educational task will be distinguished: the education that takes place in the first and second childhood, and specific reflection on this task. The training that schools must impart to parents should also be analysed. Therefore, we will dedicate a unit to the School for Parents as a tool for family training.
The characteristics of the family as a social system, as well as the changes in the family institution in recent decades will be studied. Finally, we will spend some time looking at the role of the community, preferably giving priority to two topics: the media and their educational influence, and family orientation and education in values.

On-site final exam (60%). At the end of the semester, you need to assist a mandatory on-site final exam. You need to pass the final exam so the grade obtained from the assignments (continuous assessment) is summed up to the final grade of the subject.
Continuous assessment (40%): this type of assessment will be measured through the different assignments you need to complete during the course:
Remember that you can check the points (value) of each assignment in the weekly program.
Take into account that the sum of the grades of the assignments included in the continuous assessment is 6 points. You can do as many as you want to until a maximum grade of 4 points (which is the maximum grade you will be obtaining in the continuous assessment)In the weekly program, you can find the grade of each assignment. .
