The praxeological aproach, articulation between Knowledge, practice and social transformation

Abstract

The University Minute of God Corporation, UNIMINUTO, in its mission to contribute to the transformation of social realities, raises in its educational approach the strategy that seeks to articulate theory with practice —praxeology—. For this reason, the formative research is an approach that makes viable that both students and teachers live and feel the knowledge, and at the same time articulate and influence the communities. In this regard, we would present an experience that gives an account of the praxeological approach. The intention of uniminuto is that knowledge transforms and generates reflections and actions in face of the needs of the contexts. Today’s university cannot and should not take a look at the territory, its problems and potentialities, therefore, students and teachers must become connectors of academic spaces with the social reality.
