Nuevos paradigmas educativos e inteligencias pedagógicas arquetípicas: reflexiones sobre el “corazón de la educación”

Abstract

The present text proposes delving into the notion of the "heart of education", a concept that is rooted in the so-called axial pedagogy, educational methods that took into consideration axes such as poetic wisdom language, the development of the arts, writing and meditative life, and that culminated in a path of knowledge and wisdom story.  This, in direct contrast to modern western pedagogy, which assumes the mechanistic, cognitive and liberal utilitarianism - results-based ideas - that end up imposing on contemporary teaching.

Finally, a series of guidelines are proposed to re-establish axial pedagogy as a cultural movement.  This program consists of making the current educational paradigms of instrumental training problematic, the exploration of an epistemology based on contradiction, and the development of new pedagogical ideas based on a liberating dialogism, among others.
