Subjetivación y pedagogía del cuidado

Abstract

This paper presents partial results of a Research Project conducted on Ethics and Bioethics with teachers from middle education institutions of Quindio during 2011 and financially supported by University of Quindío and COLCIENCIAS. One of the most relevant thesis of this research contemplates that teachers are made subject on the daily activities at school, when they put on scene their knowledge, sensitivity and passion that inspires them to do their job. In narratives where academic practices are visible, the Pedagogy of Care presents itself as one innovative option as it offers possibilities of creating alternatives when facing problematic situations, which, if solved with conventional patterns, could produce bigger problems and exclusion. This pedagogy manifests itself as care on learning processes, of children and youngsters, of spaces and objects, of families and teacher, amongst others; allow to deal with crucial situations for youngsters and children to live them in the future in different ways. Care of Self is an option that resignifies teacher training by focus on the power of possible, of what is built step by step on curricular quotidian practices.
