The research project arises from the new educational needs that emanate from what is called "knowmadic society" (Cobo, 2016), observing that the limits of formal education, as they have been understood until now, are being crossed by new forms of learning, communication and relationship. Due in large part to the technological and digital revolution of the last 15 years, access to information and knowledge goes beyond any previous institutional approach. Perspectives such as ubiquitous learning teach us that learning can be done at any time and any place and in multiple ways, becoming relevant when it comes to projecting how educational systems should be focused today.
Educational institutions have been devoid of mechanisms to integrate these demands, partly due to the distancing of the classic school formats with respect to the new ecologies of learning (Martínez and Fernández, 2018; Castel, 2014) and the skills required by the current global society. A school that seems incapable both of opening its doors to new realities and scenarios of relationships and communication, and of generating pedagogies and learning practices that are attractive, stimulating, challenging, provocative and/or creative for students (Alliaud and Antelo, 2009; Acaso, Manzanera and Piscitelli, 2015).
In this framework of "augmented society" and "multiple literacies" a curricular development takes place that forces us to rethink the teaching and work systems in the educational system. This is especially relevant at the level of secondary education where the borders of conventional cultural and social systems are constantly being overwhelmed by new realities. Students at this educational level have a specific profile (complex due to the stage of development they are in) and resources closely linked to the knowmadic society, in which a distance is found in a teaching model based mainly on the one-way transmission of knowledge. This, in interaction with families, teachers and other educational agents, generates a world of conflicts of various kinds: curricular, social, attitudinal and expectations from a personal and collective perspective.
That is why we recover the contributions on disruptive pedagogical practices (Christensen, Raynor and McDonnald, 2016), which have analyzed this fact and show that there is a need to rethink and modify from a connectivity approach those restrictions that end up converting formal educational institutions into systems of standardization, fragmentation and homogenization of experience and knowledge. The challenge is to ensure that educational systems, through their organizations understand knowledge as something distributed in a network and interdependent (Siemens, 2005) and use new heterodox formats and supports based on multi-sensory didactics and an ethic for diversity (Bilbeny, 2002).
Therefore, new experiences are required in formal educational organizations that move towards this new social reality, in which personal experience, new technologies and other narratives are linked as resources that promote other forms of training to incorporate them into school processes and review the ways in which learning occurs in the formal education environment.
This study is located on experiences of an innovative, transformative and emerging nature that are being developed in secondary education centers. We are interested in mapping the fundamental elements that are present in the development of these experiences from the perspective of comprehensive, ubiquitous, and expanded pedagogies that connect and integrate places, people, and times for learning.
We are immersed in two secondary schools,in this paper we are going to present the case of Monte Alto, a middle school in a rural context and with a Learning Community experience. The research is being carried out through the analysis of the experiences of the different school agents, resorting to participatory and narrative methodologies that allow us a respectful, hermeneutic, non-invasive, negotiated and openly collaborative approach.
