Evaluation, decoloniality and other knowledge

Abstract

This issue begins with articles related to subjects such as evaluation, decoloniality and other knowledge. The first 5 articles show us the different approaches for alternative knowledge. People can think of knowledge different from disciplinary knowledge, in the case of education it is necessary to approach it with knowledge about the socio-cultural, economic-political, eco-systemic-ethical/aesthetic reality (Cardona and others, 2021). Besides, it can be new knowledge, or knowledge that is invisible, unknown or typical of other cultures, in particular of epistemized, colonized   cultures,   violated in their knowledge, worldviews and ways of feeling, living, thinking and acting, of weaving communal life. The following works connect some of these reflections in their developments on topics inherent in academic writing, higher education research, intercultural learning styles, knowledge testing, rural community tourism, and many more related to teaching and learning in natural, social and other academic sciences.
