The logo of the journal is a wheel, a symbol that wants to evoke several ideas: creativity and forward motion, the wisdom eye that enters into the knowledge of reality, the sun that radiates knowledge and makes ideas shine more clearly, as well as the globe, the sign of an education that is interested in the society where it belongs. This symbol, together with some other figures, is represented in the famous picture painted by Raphael entitled “the School of Athens”, in recognition of one of the most important moments of Pedagogy.

The paper critically revises the proposal of shaping school centres as
communities. Starting from international literature and from what has
happened in the Spanish context, it especially analyzes the
ambivalences and ideological tensions that result from fostering a
relationship of school membership and collaboration among teachers. It
consequently proposes a reconcep-tualization of collaboration as well
as a guideline for future work. Antonio Bolívar Botia. Key word: Professional community, Group work, Collegiality, Liberalism and communitarianism. |
