New spaces, highlighting experiences, reflections and evidence for early years, primary and secondary education
A total of 28 new ebooks on various perspectives of learning and education
The publisher Graó, a leader in educational content, has recently upgraded the platform which the UOC community uses to access its books and journals on teaching and pedagogical innovation. The new features include the launch of new sections, changes to the Guix and Aula magazines, and the publication of more ebooks.
Enhanced browsing
When you enter the Graó platform, you will now find three new sections in the top menu. These are new reference spaces, where you can find content and magazines covering each stage of education:
- Graó 0-6: early years
- Graó 6-12: primary
- Graó 12-18: secondary
The new sections will be updated every week, and readers will be able to find out about other teachers' experiences and reflections, studies on topics such as teachers' well-being, school organization and management, the curriculum, and educational methodology and guidance.
They are designed to provide information and foster professional development, offering inspiration through case studies and encouraging evidence-based practices.
Changes to the magazines
There will be changes to the name, design and frequency of the magazines published by Graó:
- Graó 0-6: previously Guix d'Infantil (Early Years)
- Graó 6-12: previously Elements d'Acció Educativa (Aspects of Educational Action)
- Graó 12-18: previously Aula de Secundaria (Secondary Classroom)
The three magazines will now be published quarterly.
