Teacher Transformation from Complex Thinking

 

Abstract

          The present article is a qualitative investigation of phenomenological interpretative paradigm, of documentary type; and seeks to analyze the transformation of the teacher from the complex thinking, centered on the teacher-student benefit, through a bibliographic documentary triangulation of the authors Edgar Morin and Matthew Lipman with the subject of complex thinking and the necessary knowledge for education, David Ausubel, Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky with educational psychology, Pérez Esclarín with the humanization of education, and finally with contributions from Honore Bernard, UNESCO in the field of teacher transformation. Faced with the crisis and the evolution of education in Latin America requires an educational reform where innovation, creativity, training, vocation and love of teaching practices are contemplated, looking towards the adjustment profile of the current reality of apprentices, assuming in a continuous way the challenge of breaking barriers that obstruct the goal that is pursued in the multidimensional, professional, spiritual and human field, immersed in the complexity of their work, and interacting with all the interior and exterior elements of their humanity that are exposed in the challenge of complex thinking.

1. Introduction

Latin America as a globalized world in its variety of economic, political, educational, cultural and family problems, various emblematic authors maintain that education with everything and its problems has been the solution to these difficulties; therefore, a value based learning is urgently needed, with a humanistic training and thought instruction. In addition to the above, we must consider men with conscience, with logical reasoning where they are suitable to analyze, interpret, build knowledge and solve problems that pertain to their reality.

 

          All in all, with a view to a transforming education of the 21st century. Understanding by transformation not to what is indicated by the Dictionary of the Spanish Language as: "Action and effect of transforming" (n.p.). But what Wikipedia has, the free encyclopedia, is "the action or procedure through which something is modified, altered or changed in ways while maintaining its identity" (n.p.). Hence, the Educational Transformation is guided by some common lines among which the priority given to the institutional reform of the Educational Systems and in accordance with the Management of Educational Transformation (2013), would be highlighted.:

Autonomous decentralization of schools, installation of results evaluation systems, the promotion of compensatory programs focused on a specific target population, the modernization of information systems for management, changes in educational financing modalities, the search for greater participation by community members and the mobilization of all actors in society around educational processes (p.66).

     

Considering the above, in terms of educational transformation, UNESCO (1970), states that "within the problematic of an educational system in Latin America should be an educational reform, with a vision to obtain quality education" (p.8). In this sense, the transformation of thought becomes fundamental, but not before asking these questions: Is education currently able to be a model in values ​​to train the individual of the 21st century? Can the teacher be made aware so that Is your knowledge transfer meaningful? What links can the teacher articulate in his educational praxis with the seven knowledge for the education of Edgar Morín's future?

 

From the foregoing, it can be understood that there is a crisis in education, which can not be solved from one moment to the next. Educational knowledge can not change without deep transformations in education and this is inefficient without a proactive change in thinking and teaching practice, it is imperative to undertake transformative actions in the training field by fragmenting the whole into its parts and relating its parts with the whole within the framework of the complexity of the complex, which warrants changes in the schemes that teachers have managed to date, where they are the only owners of knowledge and students their disciples, in addition to causing isolation of the institution with the social reality in which their students are immersed.

 

Now, what is intended is a process where the student is taken into account from all its dimensions and capabilities, without isolating it from its social environment, but rather it serves as a principle for their learning, from the real experience, by sharing ideas and experiences between teachers and students, being able to achieve significant learning for both the teacher and the students. Of the three raised questions arises in relation to these, the continuous improvement reason why all professional of the teaching must happen to enter in synchrony with the time space in its incessant transformation. And according to Ausbel (1918-2008), cited in Sabori's Theories of Education (2009), it should be understood as meaningful learning:

According to meaningful learning, new knowledge is incorporated substantively into the student's cognitive structure. It is achieved when the student relates the new knowledge with the previous ones acquired; but it is necessary that the student is interested in learning what is being shown (n.p.).

 

Ramos (2014a), maintains that for Lev Vygotsky (1896-1934), instead children build their own understanding, that they do not passively reproduce what is presented to them; "But that cognitive construction is socially mediated is always influenced by present and past social interaction; what the teacher points out to the student influences what the student is constructing" (p.8). For Piaget (1896-1980), who is cited by Ramos (2014b), he accumulated evidence that supports a new way of understanding the evolution of intelligence: constructivism:

The intelligence does not begin either by the knowledge of the "I" nor by the knowledge of things as such, but by that of their interaction, and orienting itself simultaneously towards the two poles of this interaction, the intelligence organizes the world, organizing itself same His vision of constructivism puts him in opposition to structuralist ideas of great impact during the twentieth century (p.9).

 

In this meaningful learning and constructivism, the teacher must participate. And although it is true that teacher training is the responsibility of all the people who work in the educational field, since they must seek to be trained, or if they are already trained, that this training is understood as a constant activity, guided to the improvement of the level of teaching of teachers, an essential subject for their futuristic training, given the diversity of professionals involved in educational processes at the general average level in meaningful learning and constructivism.

 

          Thus, the aforementioned will obtain innovative pedagogical and didactic knowledge for the transformation in student learning. According to this theme, Honore, (1980), states that "Training concerns the future of man, whether as a product, process or articulating element of other concepts and practices, is related to the totality of experiences obtained from the subject" (p.176). And Bello (2014a), understands Permanent Learning as: "The right and obligation of educators, as well as administrative authorities of education, to ensure a continuous updating of teachers and teachers" (p.66). And by teacher Bello (2014b), he understands that:

It will be the one who guarantees the maximum quality of the teaching-learning processes. It will be the one that will ensure the correct adaptation of the contents. It will attend to the needs of the students, supervise, follow and evaluate the learning process of these. At present, it is preferred to return to the concept of educator. (p.43).

 

          In this regard, it is conceivable that any act of training should be open to constant renewals where it is benefited in terms of the processes and products that are related to its constant pedagogical improvement and are a plethora of practices that will feed its didactic practice, in constant learning directed towards the transformation of their teacher training. Likewise, for Díaz, (1988): "Training refers to a broader process that must be inserted in the reflective, in the knowledge fields of knowledge that account for the educational: philosophy, psychology, pedagogy" (p.176).

 

In effect, training properly means reflecting on what has been learned in the different fields of knowledge in order to transmit knowledge to students that are consistent with realities in order to achieve their transformation. Hence, the importance of the present work where it seeks to analyze the transformation of the teacher from complex thinking.

 

2. El Docente Innovador

The teaching practice at this time has taken a 180 degree turn, in this changing world education does not escape this, everything deserves changes, constant training, courses, workshops, innovation in educational planning come to be an incentive to overcome for teaching in favor of achieving quality in teaching-learning processes.

 

In fact, an innovative teacher is required, which motivates the learner, giving him the necessary tools so that his learning is meaningful, that is to say, conscientiously that when transferring knowledge this is specific. Taking into account the constructivist approach that according to Piaget (1981), Ausubel (1993) and Vygotsky, (1979), who are cited by Ramos (2014c), "learning is a process of construction of individual, significant and social knowledge" (p.9).

 

Within this context, the formation and constant updating of the teacher, is considered as a tool that seeks the instruction according to the development of the student; This type of update is promoted through two channels, one is based on institutional collectives, designed in a direct and participatory manner, integrating all professional profiles to the use and application of all of the structural mechanics of a pedagogical program; the other is the research teacher, the propagator of ideas that satisfy the cognitive and formative needs, as well as the attitudinal ones, all of which are inherent to the ideal profile of the teacher.

 

In any case, it is necessary to train to transform, for this reason the teacher's continuous training is relevant, that is instructed and that is oriented in courses, workshops that are professional, human, in values. Helping the student in his knowledge, that guides him, supports and identifies with the problems and inconveniences of the same, that do not help him to emerge and be a better person. Likewise, one should not think only about the teaching-learning process, but about the aspect of the human being, as a person, based on an integral education and training it to educate it for life according to the terms of its own reality. Regarding values, Pérez (2012) states that:

He is a genuine educator, not one who knows a lot or has a series of degrees and postgraduate degrees, but one who is capable of awakening the curiosity of his students and provokes in them the hunger to learn, to discover, to grow, to live fully. He does not communicate his knowledge so much, but his desires and abilities so that they acquire them. He lives with his students the adventure of daily learning, turns his living room into a workshop, into a laboratory, into a place of search, of encounter and coexistence, of construction of new knowledge. All this will only be possible if the educator wants to learn, is in love with life and teaching, is committed to their continuous training and growth, in order to help the growth of their students (p.144).

 

To this effect, Pérez (2004) points out: "The adequate education of the educator implies a radical change to transform it from a consumer of courses and a repetitive knowledge of the problems posed by practice" (p.22). In other words, the transformation of the teacher, currently merits that it is innovative, researcher, transformer, able to implement strategies, activities to encourage the student transferring knowledge in a competent manner, open to change, withdrawing most of space traditional, listening to the opinions of its apprentices, all aimed at its transformation open to the postmodern pedagogical evolution that is envisioned in these times of change.

 

2.1. Teaching and Research towards Curriculum Transformation.

Diverse have been the approaches that have attributed different roles to the teacher with respect to the type of link that must have with educational research. At this moment, positions that range from its location as a passive entity in this process coexist, to those who state that their role is that of main protagonist, without counting on the intermediate positions between these two extreme positions.

 

Meanwhile, in this case education is conceived as an object of different sciences and the teacher as a consumer of Research. Some authors, such as (Gimeno, 1986a: page 16) and (Stenhouse, 1987a: p.97) argue that education has been the object of knowledge of subsidiary disciplines that as a whole have been called the Sciences of Education. These authors argue that precisely because of the above there has been little development of particularly educational theory, that is, of the theory that emerges and relates to the practice of education.

 

To the investigations carried out from subsidiary disciplines of the Sciences of the Education, both authors denominate them investigations on education to differentiate them from the investigations in education or educative, which are realized according to, Stenhouse (1987b), within the educative project and enriching of the educational enterprise "this reality brings consequences with respect to the role that the teacher must fulfill in the process of research on education" (p.42).

 

However, the teacher as a researcher and promoter of the transformation and social change, has developed a tendency of thought that places the teacher as an entity, which, by its strategic position in the context of social relations, is a factor of first line to promote social change. This line of thought is in Latin America, from the first half of the 50s, in those years the teacher Luís Beltrán Prieto maintained that, from the conception that links the School with the Community, the teacher as a social servant has emerged new responsibilities, it is up to him to work in the detection of the needs of the community in order to solve them with their cooperation (Prieto: 1955a, p.49).

 

Thus the teacher would become a true leader of the community and according to the author Prieto (1955b), such a possibility supposes, that "teachers must do research on the most outstanding characteristics of the community where they will work, requiring the Application of Appropriate Research Techniques" (p.50). Paraphrasing the aforementioned author, today one of the competences of the teacher is to be a community promoter, since he must work together to detect closely the realities of his environment, to carry out the transformation in the curriculum of this millennium.

 

Faced with such approaches, it is necessary to cultivate a practically undimmed scientific field, which according to Gimeno (1986b), establishes from this perspective, the need to assume the context of the "classroom and the teaching-learning process as a center of study and re-evaluation. reflection ..., it is clear that one of the great disconnection with the reality of the classroom, is its lack of verification in the action" (p.48).

 

Precisely, observing what has been said by the aforementioned author, there is little impact on educational research, as a result of not having been generated from the reality of classrooms, but rather in artificial and decontextualized situations of the daily work of teaching. As it is appreciated, of this tendency that puts emphasis in the investigation in the classroom, it is that there was the restlessness of the author to write on the thematic one of the transformation in the teacher because different positions have arisen around the paper that must play the educator in the research process, which assumes that the production of objective knowledge has to depend on the observation of measurable facts through methods and techniques designed for that purpose.

 

2.2. Complex Thought in Education.

Begin to move through complex thinking, no doubt requires to allude to Morin (2003a), prominent philosopher and politician who raises the following: "we live under the rule of the paradigm of simplification, disjunction, reduction and abstraction" (p.96). It is inferred that the author proposes to take conscience of these paradigms that mutilate the knowledge disfiguring the real thing, for this the theory of the complexity arises which it defines as: "a fabric of heterogeneous constituents inseparably associated: it presents the paradox of the one and of the multiple, seen in this way as the fabric of events, actions, retroactions, determinations, hazards, which constitute our phenomenal world" (p.110).

 

In that sense, Paredes (2013a) indicates that Postmodernism, unlike Modernity, represented by simplistic, deterministic and reductionist knowledge; highlights what has been marginalized from scientific knowledge: "emotions, passions, in short, the irrational aspects of man; seeks new discursive styles where literary, scientific and philosophical language alternate in unison, enhancing the meaning of words" (p.34). That mechanical determinism has to give way and learn the complexity of the real. Paredes denounces determinism and reductionism: "it is no longer possible to understand the world from meta-discourses such as Marxism, psychoanalysis or positivism, since it escapes or refuses to be defined by these criteria" (Paredes, 2013b, p.34).

 

The theory of complexity and complex thinking attempts to articulate disciplinary domains in favor of the teacher of the future, broken by disintegrating thinking and aspires to multidimensional knowledge. Pabón y Serrano (2011a), faced with this situation of parceled knowledge, disintegrated by determinism, ask themselves: What is the paradigm of complexity?, (p.647). And they respond by pointing out that:

It is an integrating and holistic value of perceiving, thinking and valuing a phenomenon. It conceives the set of inseparably linked heterogeneous components, which presents the paradoxical relation of the one and the multiple, of a phenomenon. It constitutes a fabric of events, actions, interactions, determinations, hazards that integrate and constitute our phenomenal world. (Pabón and Serrano, 2011b, pp. 647-648).

 

          Hence, Morín (2003b) indicates that complex thinking: "It is the ability to interconnect different dimensions of the real. It promotes a transdisciplinary and holistic approach, without abandoning the notion of the constituent parts of the whole" (p.15). The theory of complexity captures reality as a complex system, in its various connections, mediations and conditioning. That is why it does not establish antithetical relations between order and chaos, uncertainty and certainty, between the parts and the whole. If he does not assume it with the awareness that they are antithetical, each one separately, but at the same time, unifies them, without turning them into a whole, each element retains its identity and unity.

 

          However, teacher training towards transformation requires specialized approval, possibly of a pedagogical nature, it is necessary to consider that institutional policies, the quality assurance that enhances those that promote the professional development of the teacher, throughout his career, therefore, given that at this time universities must develop a scenario aimed at enhancing the pedagogical training and professional development of teachers as a fundamental strategy to improve the quality of teaching. The teacher in his daily practice, integrates different knowledge from this perspective, teaching knowledge is formed by a more or less coherent mixture of curricular and experiential knowledge.

 

These considerations, according to researchers such as García (2007), point out that "teaching practice is not only an object of knowledge in the educational sciences but also an activity that theorizes, various knowledges that can be called pedagogical, which are presented as doctrines by the educational practice" (p.57). Expanding the term, the personal and normative reflections lead to the system, more or less coherent in the pedagogical knowledge in representation of the educational activity.

 

In this sense, the pedagogical knowledge is articulated with the education sciences forming networks or knots, which denote points of interaction and determine the interrelation of the components immersed in the system, in this case the pedagogical knowledge. Now, from the teaching practice, a know-how is achieved to determine in everyday life to be produced by the educational sciences and pedagogical knowledge, the teaching practices also incorporate special knowledge selected by the educational institution.

 

In this order of ideas, Ugas (2008a), considered education in three constituent aspects of the human being: "mind, heart and arms; that is, thought, feeling and action" (p.98). Therefore, the sciences to become a subject of teaching generate the disciplines, that is, the science that is taught. Hence, quality education is the one that offers content that the individual needs as an intellectual, emotional and moral person, to perform adequately in different areas of society.

 

Therefore, complex thinking, according to Morín, (2003c), aims to re-articulate "knowledge applying criteria or principles generative and strategic method; these principles are: systemic or organizational principle, hologrammatic principle, retroactivity principle, principle of recursion, principle of autonomy / dependence, dialogical principle and principle of reintroduction of the cognizer in all knowledge" (p.131).

 

In this regard, Ugas (2008b), paraphrasing Morin expresses "we can say that an educational program is a predetermined organization of the action that effects the repetition of the same in the same, that is, it needs stable conditions for its execution" (p.98). Meanwhile, a pedagogical strategy is open, evolutive, confronts the unforeseen, the new. The program does not improvise or innovate, the strategy does. The program only experiences a weak dose of obstacles in its development.

 

At the same time, complex thinking in education goes beyond the expression teaching-learning, taking each of these processes in separate fractions with a common point that would be education; that is, "How do I teach? How do I learn?"; This dissociation that already delimits the knowledge plots, in addition to opening a gap between who teaches "teacher" unique owner of knowledge and who learns "student" who does not know anything. Synthesizing, it also transcends the definition of education as a social phenomenon that gives rise to the generation of societies, because it is considered as the dissemination of norms and customs in the new generations.

 

For this reason it is thought that a restructuring of the educational process is important, which is to say of (Lipman: 1998, Complex Thought and Education, p.55), who is cited by Márquez and Martínez (2012a), where "education is the objective of participation in a community of inquiry guided by the teacher, among whose goals are the pretension of understanding and good judgment" (p.266); that is to say:

An education opposed to the passivity of the learner, where all are actively involved and the teacher is able to admit the diversity of opinions, the divergence of criteria, the agreement or not of judgments with the truth of reality, overcoming any coercive stance, repressive or authoritarian in order to allow the free expression of the students and their way of seeing and understanding the mute that surrounds them. (Márquez and Martínez, 2012b, p.266).

 

Under these paradigms, it is necessary to reflect on the complex meaning of education; that can not persist being estimated from the traditional appearance of reduction, which implies the transmission of norms, knowledge, cultures, where the subject is static in the educational fact, and is not treated as a thinking, creative, participatory being in the active part of education and the society in which it operates; but as an empty receptacle of knowledge.

 

2.3. Education as an Innovative-Creative Process and the Challenges of Complex Thinking.

In a world of accelerated changes, we discover the need for a new vision and a new teaching model, which should be focused on the student, which requires trained teachers, with ethics and vocation where, together with the contents, strategies, practices and means of transmitting knowledge make the subject matter.

 

Linked to the Morín concept (2003d), it poses as social challenges "the principles of pertinent knowledge, teaching the human condition, the global, relations between the whole and the parts, understanding, earthly identity with uncertainty with the ethics of the human race and the blindness of knowledge" (p.43). As well as, to go from traditional approaches to innovators of processes centered on the teacher, to a training centered on the student, from initial training to permanent training.

 

In this case, the student is expected to interpret, analyze, be reflexive critic, solve problems and problems that arise in the knowledge. On the basis of what has been explained, it is essential that institutions form subjects so that they become citizens with social responsibilities, so that they reach the cognitive domain, acquiring knowledge versed, creative analytical and opinion, that makes the emancipated reflection and teamwork in multicultural contexts in which creativity requires combining the theoretical and practical knowledge conducted with advance technology immersed in values.

 

3. Conclusions

It is observed that, at present, teachers are under constant bombardment of information to achieve the true educational challenge, immersed with new technologies and theories that force them to stay updated; in order to carry out its work in an orderly manner, with a view to its transformation.

 

Therefore, a change of thought and pedagogical practice is imperative because in order to face the act of educating, it is not possible to prolong the model of disjunction in which one is a professor of a specific area and that limit does not come out, this is a misconception of what it means to be an educator. In this sense, the type of educator typecast in the traditional will be left behind if it does not break with its paradigm.

 

In addition, it can not have limits before the educational process always has to go further in the search of the knowledge and interconnections of these, starting from the multiple dimensions of the being and its context, nevertheless, to be able to reach this, the teacher You have to know and practice your own very well and in this way, you can better guide and direct the others around you, in this case your students.

 

There must be an internal review and reflection on the part of the teacher, who must be a person with a broad mentality to accommodate the changes that are presented, as well as being aware of the context in which he develops his work as an educator, to be able to specify his practice in a meaningful way both for him and for his students in a free and integrating manner.

 

Also, within the complex complexity, every professional must have a clear certitude of their vocation, that they want and have much to give and provide to society. It is a commitment to the communities, to give without selfishness in a harmonious whole of trust, being open to any intervention or suggestion that may arise in the development of the classes; Thus, to the extent that there is an atmosphere of openness and trust, the formation of autonomous, free and supportive people will be carried out. Hence, Chirinos (2014a), mentions that Sastre, J. (1996), expresses that the "term vocation comes from the Latin vocatio, which means call; consequently, the call can be received" (p.20). Indicates that:

The teaching vocation is a special call that ... it has been done to certain people so that we can contribute, in a specific way, to develop in each girl, boy and youth all the human contents and meanings that potentially already exist in them ... (Chirinos, 2014b, p.20).

 

In short, to get the teacher to identify with their work and fall in love with it, it is necessary to assume a great awareness from the classrooms and their interior as a teacher, so that in this way young people are fully motivated and in love with their content, the subject, in addition to having an excellent academic, human and spiritual preparation that allows them to perform easily in the didactic bridge of teaching and in a pleasant way, in other words, that love what They are doing for their students and society; The rest will come in addition.
