Therefore, epistemology and pedagogy require a series of competences for teaching performance, within these are the personal, academic, pedagogical and technological; determining the individual's performance. In other words, they require educators to know, select, use, evaluate, refine and generate effective pedagogical strategies that awaken the student's critical thinking. In the present essay it is tried to make a revision about the epistemology and the pedagogy, acting from the considerations of the same one. To do this, a bibliographic review was carried out on the importance and relevance of epistemology from the pedagogy that the teacher performs and the analysis of knowledge that must be done from their environment. Finally, it contributes to enrich this feeling, think, live and coexist, towards an epistemological construction legitimized in the production of knowledge originated from practice, having as an explanation the experience as an instance of creation of knowledge and resignifying the knowledge from the self-constructed and socialized In addition, it will focus the explanation and exemplification of the general knowledge that is taught in the classroom; taking into account the context in which students develop, experience and their daily life.
