The aim of this study was to explore both teachers' attitudes toward an education that includes death, and the impact of the pandemic on the treatment of death in the classroom. A survey using the DEAS-T instrument was administered to a total of 192 teachers from Spanish schools. Among the most salient results were: (1) participants had a moderately positive attit…
Is death included in international education guidelines? Towards education for a more conscious life
The awareness of death and finitude define an educational field that is crucial yet absent from national curricula. Here we enquire into its presence in the guidelines of the international bodies that are most influential in educational and curricular change: Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), and the World Bank. The objective was to determine whether death was included…
Más allá de la Death Education? Un estudio sobre sus tradiciones epistemológicas
La death education abarca una amplia gama de ámbitos y contenidos que, desde sus inicios, han incluido el acompañamiento, el duelo y los cuidados, principalmente desde las Ciencias de la Salud. Sólo en las últimas décadas han pasado al campo educativo propiamente pedagógico (sistema educativo, escuelas, formación de educadores, enseñanza, recursos, etc.), aplicándose más allá del duelo. Las revistas científicas mejor indexadas sobre death educati…
In-service teacher education in death education through participatory action research (PAR)
Current teacher education neglects educational needs, such as death education. A participatory action research (PAR) approach based on the needs and interests of teachers was adopted. One private and two state schools at all levels of non-university education were involved. The objective was to understand a process of change in teaching facilitated by PAR in the context of a teaching innovation project in death education. The results are presente…

Introduction. Indoctrination is currently a widely debated topic in social and educational theory, with discussions about its definition, causes, relationship with education, and alternatives. This paper analyzes indoctrination from the point of view of the radical and inclusive approach developed by the authors thirty years ago, incorporating classical Eastern perspectives and concepts into pedagogy and education. Aims. The objectives of the stu…
Inclusive co-teaching with teachers with intellectual disabilities in teacher education
A new model of teacher education in inclusive methodology was studied: co-teaching with teachers with intellectual disabilities in pre-service teacher education. The main objectives were to understand how this educational experiment was perceived by three teachers (one tenured and two with intellectual disabilities) and trainees on a postgraduate course on inclusive education, and to identify implications for teacher education. The methodology wa…
Death in the Scottish curriculum
The important role of schools in supporting children experiencing bereavement is established, yet less is known about how school curricula include death as part of life and this limits our understanding of the systemic structures that shape children's knowledge and experience of death. To address this gap, this paper discusses an analysis of the Scottish curriculum to explore the extent to which death features in compulsory education for children…
Mum, when we die, what do you think happens?” A qualitative study of views on death education among Spanish families

We used a qualitative approach, using focus groups and interviews in six state schools. Notable findings were death-related issues are of interest to families, parents recognized the educational potential of teaching death issues, and they called for training in the Pedagogy of Death for both themselves and teachers. In death …
The radical inclusive curriculum
This paper contributes to curriculum theory from the perspective of a fundamental critique of education. Its objective is two-fold: to analyze both traditional and critical approaches to the curriculum and the types of education that flow from them and to propose changes that could result in significant improvements to the curricula through the radical and inclusive approach. The principles of pedagogy are redefined from the standpoint of this ap…
Impact of a teacher-training Mooc on the Pedagogy of Death during the pandemic

Participants ( N = 139) answered the Death Education Attitudes Scale-Teachers (DEAS-T) questionnaire at the beginning and end of the course. The results confirmed significant differences between the pre- and post-course applications in the three scale fa…

The presence of death in Spanish education law (1812–2006)
The objective of this study is to determine whether death has been present, and if so in what way, in Spanish education law from 1812 to 2006. The presence of 25 terms semantically related to death was analyzed in laws and regulations on school curricula. Death is generally absent as a directly approachable phenomenon within the given period, except in scattered regulations which, as a rule, link death in education to religion. From the beginning…

Propuestas Didácticas para una Pedagogía de la Muerte desde la Creatividad Artística
Todavía en la educación del siglo XXI existen huecos curriculares sin descubrir, nuevos senderos que son vitales para la formación del Hombre. Uno de ellos es la muerte, pues el Hombre quizás sea el único animal que se sabe muriente. Y esta conciencia de mortalidad imprime a la finitud un carácter pedagógico, en el sentido de su potencial para que el ser humano establezca unas coordenadas a partir de las cuales actuar, crecer y desarrollarse.
