Teaching as a reflective experiential praxis
The teaching process, rooted in the curriculum viewed as an integrated
triadic totality, is conceived in its globality as a reflexive experiential
praxis for the reconstruction of existential reality. In this way, teaching
becomes an epistemic action that frees itself from conceptual repetition as an
epistemological model, when interwoven with research and extensionist practice,
as a strategy and scope that gives context to the pedagogical-didactic process
that generates knowledge and significant learning around the reconstruction of
the different social and community realities, within the framework of an
educational and human formation that seeks to respond in an integral manner.
This situation, imminently, forges a Teaching that materializes as an
experiential praxis, which emanates from his teaching historicity derived from
experience, from his narrative temporarily manifested through the language that
shows his inner world, his particular way of being and being daily in the
university academic-curricular world. Therefore, the teacher has to deploy
himself investigatively through an investigative
action of his discursive-narrative modes, with the purpose of becoming aware
that his framework of daily doings, around the triadic integration of the
academic-curricular processes assumed as social practice, are erected from the
plot of discursive and communicational interrelationship that occurs between
those who make up this social practice.
Thus, Teaching is consumed with methodical rigor as a contextualized
reflective practice, acquiring the quality of being a praxeology, which makes
the teacher a critical-reflective and deliberative practical subject, to the
extent that gnoseologically he becomes a being for
himself, who rummages in his conscience the teaching experience as experience,
as mundology, until reaching the deep existences of
his structures of entrenched and routine actions, making them conscious in a
reflective, critical way; in such a way that, from this penetration of its own
selfhood, it acts on its thought, subjecting it to the action that transforms.
Consequently, thought and action, although they appear indissoluble, making
each other indispensable, submit dialectically, question and critically
question each other, become concrete as praxis.
