La maestra rural y su saber pedagógico

Abstract

This study evidences the social, cultural and personal characteristics that make part of the rural pedagogical knowledge during the period from 1975 to 2015, of the life history of a boyacense teacher, who stood out in its educational and community mission in the rural town of difficult access Santa Teresa of the municipality of San Luis de Gaceno, Boyacá-Colombia, and that within the historical framework were presented different social phenomena that were experienced as an echo of the reality of the country. This study aims to understand the meaning of the dimensions of a biographical trajectory, which allows us to glimpse the contribution to the pedagogical field from the viewpoint of a rural teacher, revealing their particular socio-educational context during their journey of life and school experience. This qualitative research, with a Hermeneutic-Critical approach, based on the biographical-narrative-integrative-experiential method, enhances the scriptural and intellectual discourse, is complemented and recreated through the representative and symbolic image provided by the information devices which were used as they are: auto-biography and photo-biography, the latter as a subsidiary element, both of psychological origin. Within the findings the narrative of four preliminary categories is developed, which respond to the elements of the dimensions: subjective, social and experiential. The discussion and conclusions are the result of the reflection and conversation of the emerging categories resulting from the reflection of the subject-woman of the study, the theorists and the analysis of the authors.
