Estado del arte sobre la cátedra de la paz en las instituciones escolares colombianas

Abstract

The emphasis of this research is the “Peace Subject” (“Peace Cathedra”) in Colombia, an independent educational topic that was declared as a compulsory didactic project, accompanying the peace agreements that were signed in the Havana (Cuba) between 2012 and 2016. It is expected that this investigative work may provide a basis for the construction and development of educational curriculum directed from its core towards the development of peace. The main objective of this work is to establish the emphasis of the discussions about the inclusion of the Peace Subject in Colombian scholar institutions, which took place in Colombia since the Law 1732 of 2014 was declared, until the second half of 2016. This documentary research is based on a “qualitative approach” and corresponds to the research style named “state of art”. The work is presented from the epistemological perspective known as "social hermeneutics" that implies the use of the methodological tool known as "content analysis" (CA) that implies understanding, synthesis and socialization of the chosen information. Among the conclusions, the following actions are suggested: Modify aggressive behavior with a variety of cognitive and attitudinal strategies. Avoid fragmentation of the educational curriculum. Develop emotional intelligence and internal balance with personal examples of teachers and institutional administrators. Dedicate preventive attention to conflicts and develop strategies to avoid aggressiveness. Establish efficient mechanisms for the training of teachers and students. Teach history from the voices of the victims. Clarify concepts such as tolerance, assertiveness, peace, war and conflict for the formation of tolerant, integral, analytical and assertive human beings.
