The promotion of human coexistence: personalised education from leonardo polo

Abstract

This article aims to expand the theoretical basis of personalised education with the help of Leonardo Polo’s transcendental anthropology. Specifically, it addresses the difficulty of arranging learning and teaching so that they can be regarded as parts of a strict duality, that is to say, exercises that cannot be done without both elements. This particular mutual reference or intrinsic opening enables personalised educational growth, which is intrinsic or habitual perfecting, thus preventing learning and teaching from becoming disconnected as parallel processes that are only coincidentally related. Personalised education, inspired by Leonardo Polo, is understood as a perfecting in common of educators and learners that each of them achieves in duality with the other. In personalised education, teaching and learning are intersubjective or social manifestations that are peculiar to the essence of each human being, given that teaching and learning hap pen in living-with others, with the performance of individual tasks in a secondary position.
