Meanings of pedagogical practice in teacher training. Case Education School – Universidad del Atlántico

Abstract

This paper outlines the development of the doctoral thesis Meanings of Pedagogical Practice in Teacher Training for Social Development. This research aims to identify the meanings that teachers attribute to pedagogical practice during their training, as a transformative and reflexive process, based on epistemological, theoretical and conceptual principles —mainly from the critical pedagogy of Paulo Freire—. The methodological design is characterized by an analysis, on the basis of the interpretation and understanding of the investigated object (hermeneutic-reflexive), focused on the subjects: on their relationship and interaction in the context of teacher training. As a result of the research, the principles for the transformation of pedagogical practice will be presented.
