Summary
A proposal for a didactic unit is presented for the subject of Geography and History in the 2nd year of Obligatory Secondary Education (ESO). It aims to provide an approach to urban geography for students aged twelve to fourteen, from the interpretation and valuation of heritage or landscape and raising awareness of urban challenges from the perspective of sustainability. The unit intends to train students to become critical and responsible citizens, who know how to apply reasoning and scientific knowledge to the reality they perceive daily and to participate in initiatives aimed at the common good. The incorporation of a multidisciplinary perspective or active learning methodologies (such as cooperative work or the creation of a didactic itinerary) distinguish this proposal from typical content units found in school textbooks.

Summary
This Master's thesis consists on a systematic review following the PRISMA model to analyse educational strategies that promote the inclusion of sexual and gender diversity in secondary education. It includes 24 international studies published between 2015-2025, identifying among the most effective interventions: inclusive education policies, integral sexual education curricula, inclusive curricular modifications in some subjects, teacher training, use of inclusive language, creation of safe spaces and support groups for LGBTIQ+ students, structural adaptations (neutral toilets, mixed activities...), awareness-raising events and celebrations of LGBTIQ+ dates, and queer pedagogical practices. Studies suggest that these strategies provide students with a sense of security, connection and belonging, fostering more respectful and less discriminatory and violent school climates, reducing bullying and improving the well-being and mental health of LGBTIQ+ students. Limitations are found such as the predominance of qualitative studies and in English-speaking contexts, or the scarcity of intersectional approaches. Educational Guidance proposes lines of action aimed at transforming the educational system as a basis for social change.

Summary
This work proposes a didactic experience focused on the creation of volumetric pieces, aiming to foster active and reflective learning about the relationship between art, nature, and the body. The activity invites students to experiment with space and materials, establishing a dialogue between the body, the environment, and artistic creation. Through this practice, the goal is to blur the boundaries between the human and the natural, exploring new ways of inhabiting and interacting with the environment. It is based on a vision of space as a living place, full of meaning, and constructed through perception, imagination, and bodily interaction. In this way, artistic activity becomes a space for reflection, transgression, and the reconfiguration of the relationships between the individual and the environment, promoting an art education that is engaged, critical, and sensitive to contemporary issues such as the environmental crisis or the construction of identity.

Summary
Abstract The current educational context demands innovative teaching models that respond to the needs and competencies of 21st century students. This Master’s Thesis proposes a didactic intervention based on a constructivist approach and active methodologies, specifically Project-Based Learning (PBL) and Problem-Based Learning (PBL), applied to the compulsory subject History of the Contemporary World in 1st year of Bachillerato. From a constructivist perspective, learning is understood as an active process in which students build knowledge based on their prior experiences. Within this framework, PBL promotes the completion of meaningful projects as a way to develop contextualized learning, while Problem-Based Learning focuses on solving real problems that stimulate critical reflection and decision-making. The methodological proposal places special emphasis on fostering student autonomy, cooperative work, and the integration of ICT as tools for interactive learning. Through these strategies, deep learning is encouraged, aimed at developing key competencies and forming an active, critical, and informed citizenship.

Summary
This paper aims to analyse adolescence and adulthood as optimal periods for learning a foreign language, specifically English as a second language, challenging the increasingly widespread idea that early language immersion is the only way to achieve a high level of proficiency in English. The aim is to investigate whether this belief is valid or whether, on the contrary, it is possible to acquire a foreign language during adolescence or even later in life. The main goal of the work is to acknowledge and vindicate adolescence as a fully valid stage, even for initiating language learning. The methodology is based on a critical review of the literature on language acquisition and learning in both early childhood and adolescence or adulthood, defending the latter as an equally or even more effective period than childhood for second language acquisition.

Summary
This research focuses on analysing programs for the reintegration of aggressors in cases of gender-based violence nationally. Through an exhaustive documentary review, the performance, objectives and evaluation of the effectiveness of these programs are addressed, among which the PRIA-MA Program, Context and regional initiatives such as the Galician Re-education Program stand out. These programs that were carried out with the entry into force of Organic Law 1/2004, of December 28th, on Comprehensive Protection Measures against Gender Violence, and they apply new strategies for its eradication. The study highlights the existence of an important gap between the theoretical objectives of the interventions and the real results, questioning their effectiveness in provoking a profound change in the male sexist beliefs, as well as the fact that participation responds more to the interest in reducing the sentence than to the desire for transformation. In addition, the limitation of the real evaluation of the effectiveness of these interventions is reflected.

Summary
This paper conducts a scoping review of the relationship between online prostitution and the occupational performance of cis women in this situation, addressing the complexity of this situation from an abolitionist and feminist perspective. This review starts from the idea that online prostitution cannot be considered a meaningful or healthy occupation, since it is conditioned by structural factors such as poverty, lack of job alternatives and symbolic and institutional violence. Through a search in academic databases, 11 articles were selected that allow us to explore how this situation affects different areas of occupational performance: AVDs, IAVDs, health management, rest and sleep, education, work, leisure and social participation. The results show consequences, mainly negative, that compromise the physical, emotional and social well-being of prostituted women in digital environments. The scarcity of research, especially in languages other than english, reveals the need to expand both theoretical and methodological approaches from the field of occupational therapy, incorporating interventions that take into account the digital reality and the intersectionality of women in situations of online prostitution. This work contributes to the visibility of a problem that has not been explored much in the occupational field and proposes new lines for research and professional practice based on equality, gender and health.

Summary
This Master's Thesis critically analyses the Continuing Training Plan for Teachers of CEIP Juan Rey, a school located in a rural environment with 30% of students from migrant backgrounds. Through a documentary analysis and a specific indicators instrument, weaknesses are identified in the needs assessment, contextualized design, collaborative development, and evaluation of training impact. In response, a multi-year training itinerary (2024/2027) is proposed, structured around two priority lines: cultural diversity and competency evaluation. The work combines theoretical foundations and empirical analysis with an applicable and transferable proposal, advocating for a situated, inclusive, and professionalizing training model that strengthens the coherence of the PFPP and contributes to the transformation of the teaching culture in the school.

Summary
This Master's Thesis presents a didactic proposal to address artistic diversity in secondary education by incorporating non-Western references to question the dominant cultural narratives within school curricula. The intervention, designed for 9th-grade students within the framework of tutorial sessions, aims to foster critical thinking, intercultural awareness, and creative expression through collaborative activities and image analysis. The design is grounded in qualitative research conducted in a Galician school and supported by theoretical frameworks close to decolonial thought and critical pedagogy. The proposal is considered viable and aligned with current educational guidelines, offering an alternative pathway towards the development of a global, empathetic, and active citizenship.

This document presents a socio-educational proposal aimed at introducing a gender perspective into the work carried out in therapeutic communities for the treatment of drug dependence in Galicia, while also highlighting the urgent need for this to take place. It is formulated both from and for the active participation of all agents present in these spaces and their specific contexts, addressing not only the users and the work done with them, but also the professional teams as a whole. This approach ensures critical reflection and analysis of existing inequalities, and promotes a fair, gender-aware intervention. It is also important to emphasize that this proposal is designed in a dynamic way, grounded in the current realities of these services, representing an exercise in recognizing and guaranteeing rights for all individuals.

Summary
This Master's Thesis (TFM) document collects a didactic proposal focused on the technique of photo-elicitation and oriented to the students of the 1st year of Bachelor of Arts who are studying Audiovisual Culture. The idea arises from the need to incorporate different methodologies in the classroom, mainly those that encourage student involvement, audiovisual literacy, critical thinking and emotional work. Through the use of images as a tool for reflection, students begin a process of self-knowledge that allows them to investigate their own thoughts, memories and perspectives through audiovisual production. This didactic uses photographic, narrative and other optional resources, within a format that can vary between visual essay, short film, poetic video or documentary, among others. The methodology focuses on cooperative and creative teaching, linked to the educational framework of the LOMLOE and the current regional curriculum, thus seeking to improve the learning system of students, as well as the tools used by teachers in the educational process. The aim is to include new working and teaching methods, as powerful instruments of artistic and narrative communication. All this, through reflection and prior analysis of the impact and use of audiovisuals in the classroom as a teaching medium.

Summary
Therapeutic Pedagogy teachers play a fundamental role in the implementation of inclusive educational practices; however, various studies show a high predisposition among this group to leave the profession. Although studies on these professionals have increased over the last decade, research specifically focused on them remains scarce. The present study aims to conduct a systematic review of the factors that influence their professional performance, in order to identify, analyze, and synthesize the main evidence, trends, and gaps in the research. To this end, a search was conducted in the Scopus and Web of ScienceTM (WoS) databases, including 18 articles published between 2014 and 2025. The results reveal the existence of factors that influence the quality of their professional performance: motivational factors (motivation and self-efficacy) and cognitive-affective factors (beliefs, attitudes, and expectations). It is confirmed that these impact their well-being, teaching commitment, and professional practice. Practical implications capable of improving this situation are identified: initial and ongoing training that promotes teaching self-efficacy, positive attitudes and beliefs toward educational inclusion, and emotional self-regulation strategies for these teachers, along with other measures such as increased personal teaching resources or support for special education teachers.

To this end, a search was conducted in the Scopus and Web of ScienceTM (WoS) databases, including 18 articles published between 2014 and 2025. The results reveal the existence of factors that influence the quality of their professional performance: motivational factors (motivation and self-efficacy) and cognitive-affective factors (beliefs, attitudes, and expectations). It is confirmed that these impact their well-being, teaching commitment, and professional practice. Practical implications capable of improving this situation are identified: initial and ongoing training that promotes teaching self-efficacy, positive attitudes and beliefs toward educational inclusion, and emotional self-regulation strategies for these teachers, along with other measures such as increased personal teaching resources or support for special education teachers.

Summary
The focus of this Final Master Project is related with education and Digital Technologies, more specifically to their integration into Primary Education classrooms. We are in a context of public schools with high technological availability under a 1 to 1 model, in Galicia, dependent on the E-dixgal project. With about ten years of trajectory of the program, we are facing a situation of uncertainty and social questioning about the effectiveness and relevance of the initiative. In this context, the objective is to know, through the teachers' perspectives, various aspects of educational practice in relation to the implementation of the E-Dixgal project, to identify and analyze strengths and weaknesses. For this purpose, we have made a previous theoretical framework on the field, to later contrast with the results of the field research work, being the interview the main method for data collection. After transcribing the interviews, we analyzed the information using ATLAS.ti software, following an inductive-deductive coding system. In this way, we have a multiple case study formed by six teachers who teach fifth grade of primary school as tutors, exercising different functions in their schools related to the initiative. The results have allowed us to know the main aspects of E-Dixgal that are reflected in educational practice and their assessments, which show a certain satisfaction but show some importante issues such as deficiencies in the CDD, the dysfunctionality of technological security systems and various problems linked to families, combined with the inminent implementation of the hybrid model, lead us to consider the need for a comprehensive approach that goes beyond technological incorporation, emphasizing the importance of consensus and training.

Summary
Education is fundamental to the sustainable development of societies, their collective advancement, and the personal and professional fulfillment of individuals. In recent times, learning methods and motivations for studying have changed radically. This has led to a surge in supplementary education as academic institutions adapt to these new dynamics, offering students the flexibility to design their own educational paths tailored to their specific interests and goals. This paper proposes a specialized course on the construction of the collective imagination surrounding the Camino de Santiago. It examines the communication and marketing strategies employed by official organizations over the last fifty years (from 1975 to 2025). This analysis of institutional communication and advertising connects the cultural and economic resources generated by the Camino to the academic and professional futures of students at the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC). To this end, a MOOC is designed for potential implementation within the academic framework of the Chair of the Camino de Santiago and Pilgrimages at USC. The course aims to deepen the understanding of this unique heritage resource and the opportunities that offers.

Summary
The prostitution system is characterized by its complexity, multidimensionality, and the interrelationship between pornography, prostitution, and sex trafficking. In a context marked by the digital age, this system has undergone changes to adapt and expand into virtual space, incorporating new practices of advertising, recruitment, and sexual exploitation, as well as the use of classified ad pages and forums for prostitute users. Based on the above, a qualitative research project is proposed with the aim of analyzing perceptions and opinions about the prostitution system today from the perspective of prostituted women and experts in the field, in a context influenced by the digital age. The research was carried out using a multiple case study design, complemented by two semi-structured interviews with experts in the field The findings show that, according to the participants, the main characteristics of the prostitution system today are the different forms of violence that permeate it, especially psychological violence through objectification. This has significant emotional consequences for women. The participants point out that pornography consumption increases violence among consumers and generates sexual fantasies that they seek to satisfy through prostitution. The techniques also increase the demand for prostitution. The professionals highlight digitalization as a mechanism that introduces new forms of recruitment, exploitation, and control. They agree on the need for real alternatives such as administrative regularization, access to decent housing, and abolitionist policies with a focus on equality.

Summary
This Master's Thesis proposes a learning situation (LS), based on the thought of Miguel de Unamuno, whose main objective is to provide students with the necessary tools to face the problem of discourse and the question of meaning. To achieve this objective, reading texts, together with other active methodologies, is considered the main methodological line, a source due to the number of benefits it brings. The methodological proposal is focused on getting students to develop as much as possible their competences, both academic and personal, and to learn about a philosophical problem from the perspective of a particular author.

Summary
This academic project consists of the development of a visual and introspective learning proposal for students in the third year of ESO in the subject of Plastic, Visual and Audiovisual Education and was carried out in the year 2024, in the context of the practicum. In order to carry out the project, students can either take new images or use archive work. This project has been approved by the ethics committee on 29 January 2025. The work consists of seeking a more artistic vision of the reality that surrounds the pupils, trying to make them capable of reinterpreting the reality that surrounds them from a new point of view, in order to look for ‘art’ in everything that they tend to omit. During the maturation of the photographic projects, the aim is also for the students to be able to understand the reasons behind their artistic decisions, thus making an exercise of introspection that allows them to understand in what things (and why) they see themselves reflected or what things move and inspire them.

Summary
The aim of this thesis is to develop a certain course of action towards the halt of transculturation, an improvement in Galician language skills (as well as in all the other languages it coexists with within school), and the educational promotion of the value of cultural diversity, all that through translational practice. The context that has been chosen is a school language project following European language guidelines. Such course of action is directly supported by the new curricular framework, which among other teaching practices prescribes cross-linguistic reflection and Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL). Furthermore, this didactic proposal emphasises the usefulness of contrastive grammar as a fundamental tool for generating idiomatic discourse.
