Abstract
This research work has been developed within the framework of the Project Detection of standards and quality criteria for sustainable development and its incorporation into internal systems Quality assurance in the Faculty of Education (Innova-Docencia Projects 2017/2018 de the Complutense University of Madrid) whose objective focuses on trying to answer the following questions: are graduates and graduates of the Faculty of Education of the UCM competent to respond to the different challenges, social and environmental needs that arise each day on our planet? Is education for sustainable development considered as a quality criterion? From a qualitative methodology, a mapping has been constructed based on a selection of educational records and ANECA memories of the different degrees taught in the Faculty of Education: Degree of Primary Teacher, Degree of Infant Teacher, Degree in Social Education and Degree in Pedagogy to identify the strengths and weaknesses in the formation of the different professional profiles. For the collection of data and subsequent analysis, a matrix was designed taking as reference the Sustainable Development Goals, the competences developed by UNECE and UNESCO as indicators of analysis. Although sustainable development is present in the competences, objectives, etc. of some of the subjects analyzed, the results point to the need to introduce improvements related to sustainability in the degrees taught at the Faculty of Education of the UCM in compliance with the objectives and goals of the 2030 Agenda, to incorporate the Education dimension for Sustainable Development in each of the professional profiles.
