Critical pedagogies: Criteria for teacher training in pedagogical research

Abstract

This article proposes teacher training (Bildung) in pedagogical research based on critical pedagogies. For this purpose, it exposes the principles of the Budapest and Frankfurt Schools’ critical theory; similarly, it presents the conceptual substrate of these pedagogies in that theory, as well as in the ideological tensions (semi-formation (Halbblidung), cultural industry) that originate them in North and Latin America. The document ends with the presentation of the criteria for this training (Bildung), suggesting a democratizing curricular purpose oriented to investigate the teachers’ pedagogical practice, contributing to their reflection and favoring the construction of pedagogical knowledge as a possibility for the emancipation of the pedagogical agents in the educational act and in their reality.
