La Memoria en las movilizaciones del magisterio colombiano. Luchas por Constitución (1991) y Ley General (1994): alcances, tensiones y conflictos.

Abstract

The purpose of the paper is to reconstruct the political action of the collective actions of the Colombian teaching profession for the achievement of the first General Education Education law (1994), in the context of the 1991 constitutional change and its regulation. It is divided into three moments: first a methodological theoretical understanding of historical memory exercises, to reconstruct from the collective memory, the actions and mobilizations of the Colombian magisterium, from the stories of its leaders, especially those belonging to the so-called Pedagogical Movement that participated in the mobilizations from different political edges within Fecode. Second, review and contrast of primary sources (Education and Culture magazine and the newspaper El Tiempo), and secondaries (historiographic production of the theme). Finally the historical analysis of the process. It should be added that this political situation is important for Colombia, since after the promulgation of the constitution in 1991, the Colombian magisterium inspired by the pedagogical movement, in the head of some of its leaders was widely mobilized, but also faced internally by the goals and developments that they considered would be important and necessary for the education of the country. We highlight the scope of the organizations, tensions and conflicts raised in the concretion of education in the Constitution, the General Law of Education.
