Conditions for Empowering the Social Subject in High Sc hool Education in Bogotá: Case Study
This research book aims to present the conditions that enable empowerment of social subjects in two schools in the locality of Ciudad Bolívar, Bogotá: Arborizadora Alta and María Mercedes Carranza schools. This work attempts to go beyond multiple pieces of research on democratic educational environments, pedagogical practices, citizenship, etc., and see how social subjects can be trained to be capable of transforming their realities. This is based on an analysis of the socio-historical conditions of the place where the research took place and a summary of public education policies and their impact on the Colombian society. The significance of findings lies in demonstrating that there are elements that allow resistance and building of possibility horizons for the transformation of realities inside and outside the classroom. In addition, based on Hugo Zemelman’s theoretical and methodological postulates, social subjects are analyzed multidimensionally in a specific context. Thus, in this work, the reader will find the importance of teachers and the institutional educational project in creating appropriate conditions for empowering social subjects, considering teachers to be social subjects that yearn for and wish to transform the realities of their students.
