Political Implications of Pedagogical Challenges in the Unified General Baccalaureate of Ecuador: Views and Debates from the Pedagogy of the Oppressed
Abstract
Although originally the Pedagogy of the Oppressed was a philosophical thesis devised by Paulo Freire in the seventies of the last century, in general terms its content continues to be fully valid in the Ecuador of the twenty-first century, since young people who are inserted in high school are subjected to a set of mechanisms of alignment in material and symbolic terms. such as poverty, the hegemony of social networks or the lack of meaningful learning, which promote solidarity and the autonomy of the human person to develop a life project in tune with the requirements of a truly equitable, democratic and just society. Therefore, the objective of the research is to discuss the political implications of the pedagogical challenges in the Unified General Baccalaureate of Ecuador, from a critical perspective that emerges dialectically from a rereading of the Pedagogy of the Oppressed, in the coordinates of Latin American thought of the twenty-first century, different from the classical Marxism of yesteryear. Methodologically, analogical hermeneutics and documentary research techniques are used to re-situate Freire’s theses in the pedagogical context of the Unified General Baccalaureate of Ecuador in the digital age. It is concluded that the pedagogy of the oppressed is not a static theoretical framework, but rather a device of political intervention that must adapt to the contradictions of late capitalism in Latin America.
