Spanish universities have been implementing gender equality policies for over a decade. The research presented here aims to determine the barriers and challenges perceived by female academics in the Faculty of Education at the University of Alicante. The study used a seven-point Likert-type scale survey consisting of 10 items, which were validated by specialists from different universities. One of the key findings was that often barriers have ceased to be seen as such and are understood instead as a normalized reality. Nevertheless, participants stress that women face greater barriers than men when it comes to reaching top-level positions; highlighting issues such as a lack of mentorship, delayed motherhood, experiencing sexist behavior and comments from male colleagues; and a lack of consensus around measures, such as reconciling work–life balance, as a means of largely eliminating the barriers they face in the university.

The main objective of this research was to demonstrate the integration of international and national strategies in education for sustainable development and global citizenship into initial teacher training. The researchers analyzed the outcomes of a feminist teaching strategy based on family trees, focusing on the usefulness of social science pedagogy in developing critical thinking among pupils. They also attempted to enhance teachers’ digital literacy and make progress in reflecting on its functioning and use. The research used mixed methods, and the research instrument was a questionnaire using Likert-type scales validated by specialists from several universities. It was deployed in the module Didáctica del Conocimiento del Medio Social y Medioambiental (Pedagogy of Knowledge of the Social and Cultural Environment) of the Bachelor’s Degree in Pre-Primary Education at the University of Alicante. Using historical research with a gender perspective, the trainee teachers investigated their family trees, focusing on the women in their families. They also carried out a speculative exercise to aid reflection on their contributions as teachers in support of equal education. The results obtained showed that this was a novel and useful educational activity, which inspired participants to work for a fair and democratic global citizenship based on coeducation.

El objetivo fundamental de la investigación que aquí presentamos es analizar la efectividad y la utilidad de una estrategia didáctica en Didáctica de las Ciencias Sociales, para la enseñanza-aprendizaje de la Ciudadanía Mundial y el Desarrollo Sostenible en la formación inicial del profesorado de Educación Infantil. Las acciones se adaptan a lo recogido en la Agenda 2030 sobre el Desarrollo Sostenible y sus 17 Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS). Partiendo de una investigación histórica con perspectiva de género, el alumnado participante ha realizado un ejercicio de diálogo entre pasado, presente y futuro que le ha permitido reflexionar sobre sus aportaciones docentes hacia la consecución de una educación igualitaria. En concreto se han analizado los resultados de una acción formativa basada en las genealogías femeninas, como herramienta para potenciar, entre otros, el desarrollo del pensamiento crítico en el alumnado, que es personal docente en formación. Para ello, hemos recurrido a un método mixto y hemos implementado como instrumento una escala tipo Likert, junto a una serie de preguntas abiertas para conocer con más detalle la percepción de nuestra propuesta. Han participado un total de 283 estudiantes de la asignatura de Didáctica del Conocimiento del Medio Social y Cultural de segundo curso del Grado de Maestro/a en Educación Infantil de la Universidad de Alicante. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que se trata de una estrategia educativa novedosa en su formación docente, y útil para su futuro profesional, según indica el alumnado participante en el estudio. Consideran también que les inspira para cumplir con su responsabilidad de educar en igualdad de género y que, además, les forma para la consecución de una sociedad mundial justa y democrática.
