La Formación Política Escolar: Representaciones de los Estudiantes y Docentes Líderes de la Estrategia SIMONU en el Marco de la Política Educativa Distrital 2012-2022.

Abstract

The main category of this doctoral thesis is the school political formation based on the representations of the education actors: from the governmental manifest in ten-year plans, sectoral plans and education laws; teachers as trainers; and of students as training subjects. Regarding the state of the question, the emptiness of research directly related to the subject is evident, the lack of clarity on the part of teachers regarding the inclusion of political formation in their practices, the passive participation of students and the scarce manifestation of what is proposed in both national and sectoral education plans in what is experienced in school institutions. Regarding the theoretical framework, it is proposed from three perspectives: 1) The concept of politics and political formation, 2) politics as participation and 3) the elements of political formation. The research is approached from the qualitative paradigm, the hermeneutic approach, the method of content analysis and that of social representations, reflected in the approach to Public Education Policies, the analysis of the authors and the contents of the interviews and the focus group. The central objective of this research is to analyze the previously mentioned representations, with the intention of proposing actions to strengthen political formation in school institutions. As a result, a representation of school political formation is produced that allows understanding it from the perspective of the actors who have contributed to its reconstruction from their knowledge and experience with the purpose of making it closer to the daily life of the school.
