El educador social en la enseñanza secundaria. La mediación escolar como alternativa a la resolución de conflictos

Abstract

The strengthening of the presence of social educators at the educative context would provide a new way of considering the education assuming a group of specialized abilities. One of the aims of this paper is to stress the importance of the professional figure of the social educator at educative centres and to analyse the experience of other regions where it is already included in their educative legislation. The second aim is focused on carrying out methodologically an implementation program oriented to the development of mediation skills as a strategy of problem solution. As a conclusion, it is pointed out the need of making visible the functions of the social educator at educative centres and demanding its inclusion through the development of specific intervention proposal like the one presented in this paper. The implementation of school mediation programs at educative centres has shown positive results at school life.
