SOCIETY, CULTURE AND ASTRONOMY: FACILITATORS OF EDUCATIONAL PRACTICES FOR PEACE. A CRITICAL VIEW
Abstract
Education is a term or action that is directly related to the concept of culture and the development of humanity, through which the task of education has been adopted in modernity and post modernity in a hegemonique way, by the school as an institution in charge of its administration and development. However, nowadays it requires a reflexible view point from critical postures about their management policies. Thus, this allows to take back or develop proposals, which are worthy for an education that reflects the development of human beings beyond the consumer practices or the particular interests, in which ideas that use astronomy (the gaze to the skies) are enhanced as tools more than as ends in themselves; for the development of educational activities that break the barriers and lay the foundations for a liberating society in favor of the educative practices for the peace in the framework of a healthy, fraternal and harmonic conviviality.
