Spanish term

profesor orientador-sociocrítico

Spanish to English Social Sciences Education / Pedagogy The future of education
ESPAÑA. I've just come back to this education text - about the shape of education in the future from a student perspective - after working in a couple of a quite different areas and some of these terms - like this one - seem rather contrived to me. And hyphenated compound adjectives and Spanish syntax to do not make the best bedfellows IMO. All suggestions welcome.


"Atendiendo las correlaciones más fuertes, los resultados indican como un contexto tecnológico se relaciona con un ***profesor orientador-sociocrítico***, con metodologías didácticas de proyectos colaborativos, con alumnado social/constructivo, con aprendizaje activo-social-investigador y con competencias de aprendizajes en entornos virtuales."

For now I'm using "socio-critical counsellor-teacher", although it's pretty meaningless. I still have another 2000 words of this guff to plough through this weekend...

As I suspected From the feedback received so far, I'm now quite convinced that this is just another example of "buzzwordery". Whatever, I'll leave the query open for now. I've left this translation aside for a few days anyway to deal with other more pressing jobs and hope to get back to work on it later today...

Though over-the-top... ...in its use of hyphenated terms, this text might reflect change in the Spanish language, and not just in Spain. Indeed, at a Mexican university, I was a "profesor-investigador". Returning to this text, however, I wonder if it would be slightly clearer if it were "profesor-orientador sociocrítico" with the hyphen between the FIRST two words, rather than the last two. Good luck with this, Neil ;-)

Awful typing -sorry!
peter jackson Jun 22, 2015:
I think you proabably need to cahge it and say something like a "counselling and social-critical approach to teaching" but do not feel confident enough to enter it as an answer.

a mentoring lecturer with a socio-critical approach

I think "profesor orientador" should be translated as "mentoring lecturer".

The whole thing could also be translated as "a socio-critical mentoring lecturer", although I must admit I cannot find any examples online.

agree Marcelo González : I like your suggestion. Building on it, perhaps "socio-critical professor-adviser" might be an option. You might consider posting it. Cheers
