Abstract

This article presents an interdisciplinary educational design project titled “Your School for the Future”, implemented with undergraduate students in the Degree in Educational Sciences. The project emerged as a coordinated initiative between three subjects—Educational Psychology, Sociology of Education, and School Organization—reflecting the complexity of real-world educational settings. It aimed to engage future educators in the critical and creative construction of an ideal school model grounded in educational theory, social justice, and organizational practice. Students were tasked with designing a comprehensive proposal for an ideal school by synthesizing insights from the three disciplines and contextualizing their work using real-world data from Facts and Figures: School Year 2020–2021. They were required to present the main principles of their proposed school and demonstrate its values and practices through a simulated class session. In addition, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) was encouraged as a way to explore how technology could support personalized learning, inclusive practices, and more efficient school organization. This paper outlines the project’s structure, pedagogical intentions, and the analytical outcomes of student proposals, highlighting their vision of a more equitable, emotionally intelligent, and future-ready education. Finally, we reflect on the benefits and challenges of interdisciplinary collaboration in teacher education and discuss its implications for the professional identity formation of future educators.
