Educación con sentido: vínculos, sujetos y saberes en transformación

Overview & Synopsis

Meaningful Education invites readers to view the school as a living space shaped by relationships, questions, and shared responsibilities. Its chapters bring together research perspectives on the education of children and young people within learning environments that call for attentive listening, care, participation, and social commitment. The first section addresses the relationship between family and school, teachers’ transformational leadership, children’s participation as a right, and the role of literature in the construction of the self. It recognizes the importance of opening avenues for dialogue among educational stakeholders and strengthening experiences that enable children to be heard and understood. The second section broadens the discussion to encompass secondary education, formative fields, teachers’ narratives of resilience in Chocó, and pedagogical strategies for preventing criminal behavior among adolescents. Taken as a whole, the volume offers a sensitive and critical overview of the current challenges facing education and proposes an understanding of teaching as a practice capable of transforming communities, bodies of knowledge, and life projects.
