Youth cultures and school culture

This paper focuses on the problem of improving teacher training in Higher Education Institutes and Universities. We consider that the improvement of the training of professionals graduating from teacher training courses lies fundamentally, among other variables, in the possibility of linking the problems of teaching and learning that are developed in different school contexts with the characteristics and particularities of youth culture. Now, what are the characteristics of teaching and learning processes in school contexts? What qualities of pedagogical mediation favor significant learning in students? What aspects of teacher mediation are valued by students in their learning processes? What aspects and characteristics of youth cultures are present in these processes?
