The direction of university educational work in the era of the crystal generation

Abstract

Education as a social phenomenon must take into consideration the historical moment in which it takes place, the sociocultural characteristics of the country, the family, the community, the school, and the socio-psychological and educational characteristics of the students. Educating also becomes a difficult and complex process. In the 21st century, there is a noticeable change in the educational roles of teachers, families, and the students themselves. On this basis, and from a mixed approach and the socio-critical paradigm, this research establishes a documentary study that, supported by other theoretical methods, facilitates the theoretical systematization necessary to understand the essence of what is involved. An exploratory study was conducted with 112 students and 6 teachers from the Bachelor of Education program. The results of the research instruments are presented, and the discussion presents some pedagogical suggestions for the direction of university educational work in the era of the Crystal Generation, which constitutes the objective of this research. The conclusions emphasize the need to understand educational work within the pedagogical process of the Bachelor's Degree in Education at the Caborca ,Campus, University of Sonora, Mexico.
