Abstract

Contemporary education is in a constant process of adaptation and reconfiguration in response to the challenges of a society that is undergoing a rapid transformation. The author of this pedagogical work, La escuela y su entorno en la sociedad del conocimiento. Un estudio focalizado en la Professional Training, tackles these challenges from the perspective of Professional Training (PT) in Andalusia, Spain. The book contains an in-depth examination of the crucial relationship between PT educational centres and their surroundings, and underlines the importance of social capital and interdisciplinary collaboration for meeting current work demands and promoting an education that is attuned to the needs of the knowledge society.
