Pedagogy, pedagogues and fields of education

Abstract

The author of the editorial reflection of this issue is the Spanish pedagogue Agustín de la Herrán Gascón, a researcher at the Autonomous University of Madrid, creator of the radical and inclusive Pedagogy perspective, who critically analyzes and proposes radical issues ignored in the educational world and pedagogical, or orbiting it in an ephemeral way, decimating the strength of its theoretical or praxeological approaches. This is the case of prejudices from and towards pedagogy, education and the pedagogue, for what he pleads, among other aspects, for the passage of the ego to consciousness, and to a clear awareness of what we do not know. It is desirable that there be, not only in Spain, but also (we would say, in Latin America) a greater openness, attention, information and training around the specificity of the pedagogue, in order to better impact the processes related to the educational act and the world of education, also strengthening Pedagogy and its social function. To say it with the author, with a strong Pedagogy the whole society wins, because the sense of the society coincides with the sense of its own education.
