Diálogo de saberes en el Sistema de Educación Indígena Propio de Colombia: Hermenéutica contra inconmensurabilidad

Abstract

In Colombia they are going towards and Own Indigenous Educational System (SEIP by its inicials in Spanish). On it, they insist more on “the own” issue that in the interculturality. Nevertheless, that epistemological and didactic perspective is assumed in three ways : 1) The occidental school is taken as an institution that guarantees the right to an differentiated education. 2) the learning subjects are collective, not the individuals only, the knowledge is holistic, the teaching is done solving problems and in a practical way. The scholars open their minds without losing their identify. 3) The dialogue between different knowledge is done in a hospitable opening to the difference. Expanding the hermeneutic horizon transforms the learners, but don´t replaces paradigms.
