Tras un esbozo general de las principales de!ciencias que se reflejan en la mayoría de los programas de educación para la ciudadanía, especialmente en el contexto estadounidense, se presenta la perspectiva conceptual de la cognición incorporada (embodied cognition) para discutir las metáforas y prototipos relacionados con la noción de “la nación como familia”, comúnmente utilizada en la comprensión de la educación para la ciudadanía.En el tercer y último apartado se concluye con una serie de sugerencias para la re-conceptualización del campo de la educación para la ciudadanía mediante el uso de herramientas de cognición incorporada.

To clarify the contemporary state of the PRU and its critics, the history of PRUs is examined, both as a model and an ideal that crystallized in the middle of the twentieth century-and then seemingly began to falter.

Luego se explorará si las demandas contemporáneas a las UPIs reflejan la «crisis» de su modo de «funcionar» o responden más bien a cuestiones relativas a su identidad institucional.

When using Critical Pedagogy adopting such narratives, it presents schools in a dualistic form, as a victim as well as the cause of many educational and social problems. Ironically in this type of narrative, schools and teachers also appear as the best resource of educational hope.

Uma revisão de literatura geral e especializada revela, por um lado, que há uma associação direta das AA às cotas. Por outro lado, as AA são reduzidas, especialmente no ensino superior, como se beneficiassem exclusivamente aos afrodescendentes. Ambas as associações são equivocadas.
