Las aulas escolares como escenario de formación en ciudadanía

Abstract

This document raises from a preamble and two topics that develop the body of the contents: 1. Challenges of culture, and 2 challenges of the school world in terms of citizenship.

The preamble locates the social daily practices of the young students in the educational environment which derives in the need to look at the different rhythms that experience the school institutions from social, cultural, economic and political dynamics.

Also the changes that affect the processes of construction of the subjectivity of the students are considered specifically in the environments of the culture and of the configuration of the citizenship The challenges that come from the culture, take us to the stage of the socialization and from there to the school institution seen as the space where the dialogues, exchanges, confrontations are carried out and specially the production of subjectivities.

Then, it invites us to look at the school world in terms of the citizenship and proposes to us several aspects from which it will look at the role of the educational institutions in this field: the historical condition, as a form to exercise the social issue, the social thing and the cultural thing, the rules, the rights and duties, the possibilities and opportunities, and the challenges towards future the school world must face to contribute in the configuration of the citizens.

We think that in this way, we take part of the reflection about the new environments in which citizenship takes place and is performed, in this case, from the educational view and facing it as a matter of human development in the liberating perspective of the human kind.
