Educational policies and decision-making during the last decades

a case study

Abstract

The educational policy of an Autonomous Community not only governs the rights and duties of education, but also forms part of the thinking of students or teachers, for example through its teacher training programs. To approach the understanding of the actions outlined in the Autonomous Community of the Canaries, on the training of teachers in the non-university field, we consider the need to place ourselves within the purely political framework that takes place from 1980 until the present time in the first part Of the article, to later present the conditions, participants and modalities existing in the same. The case study presented in the Autonomous Community of the Canary Islands can serve as an example to judge how educational policies
in teacher education are associated with decision-making by the political party or political alliances that at that moment prevails in The Autonomous Community. Since the educational policies in the last decades have dominated the nationalist view, we can affirm that these have prevailed around the subject that occupies us.
