Belief systems in classroom transformation “pedagogical models for transmodern education”

Abstract

It seems there is an abyss between educational policies, curriculum guidelines, pedagogical models, the standardization of knowledge given from the Trans modern metanarrative of globalization, and what is really happening in our classrooms, viewed from the great diversity of Colombian contexts. Teachers are still repeatedly applying old educational strategies systematized under the same criteria by the faculties of education; no changes at sight. Students show no interest in the school, and the educative system in general is not proposing accurate solutions towards this new system of beliefs in detriment of the common well. We are fearlessly advancing towards the great uncertainty of a future permeated by the post-humanism paradigms coined by the theory of Superman, where the will of power commands the structure of thought. This text shows within, the reality of education in Colombia from the most forgotten classrooms of our country (Choco Region, Cauca Region, Coffee Region, Valle and Tolima Regions) in the voices of those teachers that struggle day after day with the true reality in each of these mentioned regions.
