Resumen
El presente artículo ofrece una reexión sobre la noble y difícil labor de educar, teniendo como fuente de inspiración el pensamiento losóco de Tomás de Aquino. ¿En qué consiste precisamente educar y, sobre todo, para qué se educa? ¿Qué se pretende educar en el ser humano y cuáles son los agentes responsables de este proceso? Hoy se entiende y se asume que dicha responsabilidad recae fundamentalmente en el propio educando, pero que en sus etapas iniciales y en las más aptas para incidir positivamente, como son la adolescencia y la juventud, juegan un papel preponderante el núcleo familiar y las instituciones educativas con sus profesores o maestros, a quienes corresponde la educatividad, es decir, la capacidad de ejercer inuencias positivas en el educando, de suerte que su aporte sea valioso en el desarrollo integral de ese ser humano en su fase de crecimiento.
This article is a reection on the noble and hard action of teaching, having Saint Thomas Aquinas philosophical thinking as inspiring source. What is teaching about and, above all, what do we teach for? What is it intended to educate in the human being and who is the responsible for this process? This is a responsibility that depends not only on the student himself but also on the family, especially in early stages, and the institutions with their professors and teachers who are the ones in charged of helping in this process through the educability or the capacity to influence the student positively aiming at a unique contribution to the integral human being development in its growing phase.
