La neuroplasticidad en el pensamiento multidimensional
type: item
description: Este artículo retoma uno de los conceptos principales de filosofía para niñas, niños y adolescentes de Matthew Lipman y Ann Margaret Sharp, que, al mismo tiempo, es la finalidad educativa: el pensamiento multidimensional. Este se aborda a partir de uno de la neuroplasticidad, uni los hallazgos más revolucionarios de las neurociencias, la cual se relacionan con otros fenómenos neuronales como la sinaptogénesis, la neurogénesis, las ventanas plásticas o periodos críticos y las podas neuronales. A partir de ese abordamiento, se propone una nueva perspectiva nombrada neurofilosofía para niñas, niños y adolescentes, que visibiliza el fundamento neurocientífico en la propuesta educativa mencionada.

Contribuciones de la Ciudadanía Cosmopolita y la Democracia Radical en la Educación Media.
type: item
description: Abstract This article reflects on citizenship education in secondary education from the theoretical contributions of cosmopolitan citizenship and radical democracy. It argues that, in the face of digital practices and expressions of youth participation, cosmopolitanism enables an understanding of citizenship beyond national borders, recognizing dignity and pluralism as universal principles of human coexistence. Radical citizenship demystifies conflict and makes it an essential part of politics and the construction of democracy. In this sense, the Basic Standards of Citizenship Competencies for secondary education proposed by the Ministry of National Education must move beyond controlling or eliminating conflict and give it the relevance it deserves in recognizing the plurality of identities. The conclusion is that it is important to rethink citizenship education at the ministerial level in Colombia to broaden the perspective of citizenship more in line with current dilemmas and scenarios. Keywords: Cosmopolitan citizenship; radical democracy; citizenship competencies; secondary education; agonistic conflict.

UNIMINUTO in Africa: Systematization of the Experience of Transferring the Educational Model to the Eudist Technological University Institution of Africa –IUTEA– in Côte d’Ivoire
type: item
description: This article presents the results of the process of systematizing the experience of transferring UNIMINUTO’s educational model to Côte d’Ivoire, Africa, through the creation of the Eudist Technological University Institution of Africa –IUTEA–. This experience constitutes an accumulation of innovative knowledge aimed at promoting effective strategies to create opportunities for ensuring access to higher education in contexts of social inequality, within the framework of South–South cooperation. It makes it possible to recover this concrete experience, providing conceptual tools to strengthen both the African and Colombian contexts, as well as other settings where the model could be applied from a logic of territorial identity, without the intention of copying or disregarding different contexts and specificities.

Aimé Césaire y la vigencia de su discurso anticolonial
type: item
description: This work is the result of a reflection on the life and work of the Martinican thinker Aimé Césaire. It succinctly exposes the enormous validity of Césaire's important theoretical legacy, especially his concept of Negritude, the contributions of his critique of structural racism, colonialism and the various manifestations of fascism. Another relevant aspect of the reflection of the Caribbean intellectual is his questioning treatment of the idea of an abstract universal that repositions it based on the incorporation of multiple particularisms as an aspiration for more just and egalitarian societies. Finally, Césaire can be considered a precursor of decolonial ideas insofar as he provides input for deconstructing the various modalities of imposition of the coloniality of power, knowledge and being, as later developed by the Modernity/Coloniality Research Group.

Herramientas TIC para la motivación del aprendizaje en la educación religiosa escolar
type: item
description: “ICT tools for learning motivation in school religious education” focuses on how Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) can improve student motivation in religious education. The main objective is to revitalize the teaching of this subject, which has lost interest among students and teachers, by incorporating innovative digital tools. The study uses a qualitative methodology based on interviews with school religion teachers in the city of Medellin and an exhaustive analysis of literature on the use of ICT in education. Two types of motivation are highlighted: extrinsic (external rewards) and intrinsic (personal desire to learn), both of which are necessary to create an effective learning environment. ICT, properly applied, can act as a key motivational tool, enhancing student engagement and interest. The article also presents a list of ICT tools, such as Kahoot, Google Classroom and Canva, that can be used to make religious education more interactive and engaging. However, it is emphasized that the success of these tools depends largely on the creativity and commitment of the teacher. In conclusion, the research highlights that for ICTs to have a positive impact on motivation and learning, it is crucial that teachers receive continuous training and are willing to innovate in their pedagogical practice.

description: La idea es comunicar y hacer comunicable aquello que deseamos expresar. Así como Lutero utilizó la tecnología de su época, la imprenta, hoy en día contamos con espacios como las universidades, que, de una manera u otra, son escenarios clave para el desarrollo del pensamiento humano. A menudo nos sentimos limitados por las condiciones materiales que nos rodean, pero más allá de las aulas, los semilleros y las jornadas académicas, tenemos un potencial infinito. Como estudiantes, debemos aprovechar al máximo la oportunidad de hablar sin miedo sobre las diferentes culturas y disciplinas. Participar en una revista académica significa compartir conocimientos para generar nuevas ideas y aprendizajes. Por ello, nuestro papel es fundamental. Nosotros somos el motor de la interculturalidad en las academias, y es importante que sigamos utilizando y potenciando estas herramientas de comunicación, ya que espacios como estos nos permiten contribuir al desarrollo colectivo.

The THE MERLEAU-PONTIAN INTERBODY IDENTITY. THE PRIMORDIAL SILENCE OF ASSOCIATED BODIES
type: item
description: This article aims to demonstrate, from the Merleau-Pontian phenomenology, the link between identity and corporeality, which is configured through an open plot of changing, intercorporeal and gestural meanings. In order to argue this relationship, first, the primacy of the body as identity support is reflected; second, it is analyzed why the body is the expression that allows to enunciate some elements that are instituted and instituting in the identity of a person; third, the reversible character of the bodily memory that escapes the will of the subject in the unfolding of his identity is presented. Finally, a notion of identity is constructed that highlights the role of the original silence through which the constant institution of the body-in-the-world is expressed.

Este interés hace que nos preocupemos por situaciones climáticas a nivel mundial y que nos preguntemos por el futuro del trabajo y de la formación humana en épocas de la inteligencia artificial. Nuestro interés por el futuro no es simplemente el interés curioso de la adivinación, sino que nos motiva un compromiso por lo que somos como seres humanos, por nuestra dignidad y por las condiciones que estamos legando para que nuestros herederos sean capaces de hacer en el futuro lo mismo que nosotros, e incluso mejor.

The project of modernity and the exclusion of what is different
type: item
description: In this article, we aim to reflect on how the project of modernity imposed on our continent since the end of the 15th century carries within it a network of exclusive and fragmenting practices of both human beings and nature, as well as of knowledge and ways of conceiving the world or worlds. It is based on the theses of Enrique Dussel, for example, that of the myth of Western civilization that explains through seven points, how this project generates victims and sacrifices that he calls "barbarians", among other aspects. On the other hand, it is mentioned how this hegemonic project “invented” what it called America and, how from there, a way of being-doing-being-relating-living/in the world was imposed, a situation that continues in the middle of the century. XXI,as a product of coloniality, an essential component of said project, its “hidden face.” Likewise, it analyzes how the modern project places nature and culture as two antagonists, that is, the first as a barbarian that must be dominated, and the second as a product of the human spirit that must subdue nature. Thus, it contrasts the categories body –soul, inferior –superior, justifying the exercise of colonial violence of power. This is a reflection article developed within the framework of a doctoral thesis work in education; Lastly, the importance of challenging hegemonic/modern discourses is considered, in order to move away from the Euro-North American-centric matrix and achieve the construction of other educations that start from the genuine gaze of the peoples, their contexts and memories.

Back to Humanism... Educational research from art, a view from a non-artist teacher
type: item
description: Contemporary society is experiencing one of its deepest crises derived from violence, pollution and destruction of nature and the forms of life that inhabit the planet, of course the school is no stranger to the strong crisis and it seems that this is found stopped in time, while the world advances by leaps and bounds, both in technology and in communication devices and spaces for interaction, in some cases it seems that it has been replaced and no longer has the exclusive domain of knowledge and is only reduced to the reproduction of knowledge, The teacher is a simple butler at the service of a system where critical positioning and research are conspicuous by their absence, which is why it is necessary to return to humanism and put back at the center of the debates, the need to rethink life and transform the ways in which we approach and relate to each other and to knowledge, starting with the school and the ways in which we discover new theoretical positions from other shores, different from the traditional scientistic methods, where art and IBA (arts-based research) also contribute to the construction of knowledge, beyond the mastery of a technique

description: The article first exposes the dramatic nature of the current environmental crisis, with its foreseeable and devastating consequences on life on the planet if the necessary measures are not implemented to address this gloomy scenario. From this context, some alternatives are presented that have emerged in recent years to reduce the impact of the crisis, first, within the institutional framework of the so-called civilization of capital. Recognizing the shortcomings of this response, other solutions are sought both in the field of structural transformations and in countless other theoretical options and movements that try to contain, appease, or reverse the deleterious effects of human action on the Earth.

Contributions from the collective. Japanese migration in the Colombian 20th century
type: item
description: The japanese colony that came to Colombia during 20th century became a voluntary migration that was received by the Colombian state in executive and productive terms, leaving the japanese comunity at the mercy of xenophobic gestures that were visible at least in the public politics that lead the migration subject into a racial whitening, undervaluing in that way the “yellow race”. In virtue of these and others social conditions of the context, we highlight of the japanese migrants a solidarity ethos, mutualism and care over and for the members of their community, worthy of replication between the region and the colombian people in general. Ways of being that are relevant for their similarity in the actual context’s events and conflicts.

De eros a la unión divina
type: item
description: This short article is the result of an existencial and academic reflection. Intimate writing makes possible an exercise in feminine bodily hermeneutics, which in turn allows us to “discern from the skin” each step of the spiritual itinerary in the search for meaning, of women who have allowed themselves to be challenged by this type of existential and transcendental questions. Etty Hillesum's diary is a mirror that reflects feminine eroticism, revealing a deep desire for God. Another Dutch mystic, the Beguine Hadewijch of Antwerp, also crossed by eros, finds divine union.

Construcción de identidad narrativa y formación del carácter: una mirada a través de la Poética de Aristóteles
type: item
description: The interaction of a human being with various types of narratives directly influences the construction of their character and their narrative identity. Through stories, people can understand and relate to different ways of being. Narrative is considered a manifestation of practical reason, since it requires a constant interpretation of circumstances and moral actions. In summary, this article highlights the importance of narrative as a tool for ethical training and the construction of narrative identity. These two dimensions are intrinsically related in reflection on life and morality. Based on the reading of Aristotle's "Poetics" and supported by the approaches of Paul Ricoeur, it is demonstrated how narrative is fundamental in the construction of the idea of ​​oneself. This is a question of vital importance in the constant reinterpretation of our way of being and in the permanent relationship with the need to exalt or appease our passions.

Caracterización de las capacidades educativas en la institución educativa «Cerca de Piedra»
type: item
description: The objective of the study is framed as follows: "To identify the ancestral moral virtues that converge in the ethical development of the youth in order to enhance their quality of life in the current context of the Cerca de Piedra community (Pacheco, 2020)." To achieve this, we construct a three-fold analytical framework that encompasses Nussbaum's capabilities theory (2012-2017), Bauman's concept of fluidity and instability within a liquid society (2013-2016-2017), and the educational proposition of critical pedagogy, rooted in Paulo Freire's principle of conscientization and its liberating function (1982-2005). Additionally, our chosen methodological approach follows the phenomenology of practice as proposed by Max Van Manen (2003). This approach allows for a nuanced exploration of the contextual nuances, giving prominence to the researcher's perspective. Our aim is to describe the inherent needs of individuals who coexist within both the rural and educational communities. This description, in turn, facilitates the establishment of criteria for the political, educational, and ethical realization of the community. In essence, this article contributes to a diagnostic examination of the community in terms of what individuals can achieve and becoming within their environment (Nussbaum, 2017). With regards to the coexistence of citizens and their quality of life, the document presents alternative methods of reconciliation, drawing from extracurricular school dynamics. These strategies take into consideration anecdotal narratives that depict the socio-emotional conditions of certain students, aiming to establish potential guidelines for interventions that promote the human development of the individuals who share both the territory and the academic life of the Cerca de Piedra Educational Institution.

El Moro: Literature as a tool in moral consideration towards animals
type: item
description: This article addresses emotions as important elements in the life of humans and other animal species, and considers how such emotions can be placed on a similar level to reason when used in the field of ethics. In the following lines we aim to find some moral consideration towards animals from different contributions of ethics, and the role of empathy and compassion as possible links that are established with other animals, different from human beings. Furthermore, the contribution of literary narratives in the possible moral education of readers was investigated, where attention was focused on animal literature. It was explained with an example of animal literature, the novel El Moro, the way in which the moral consideration of some animals as beings with emotions and that deserve to be respected for having principles of sentience can be practiced, which leads to recognize them in the moral spectrum.

a a phenomenological reading of the library
type: item
description: This article presents some considerations framed in a discussion about the essential and eidetic nature of the library as a space, as time or as an executable action. From there on, the reflections that the facets of the bookish environment of the academy, of the community and of the great nations, as well as of the small towns, prompt an exhaustive analysis by means of the phenomenological method, which makes use of the studies developed by Ingarden and his multiple commentators. Thus, I would be mistaken if I sought to speak of the book and the library as an object or idea without establishing a brief dialogue with Jorge Luis Borges, who through specific sections of his work considers these premises in a narrative manner; metaphysical, as corresponds to the process of intentionalization of the phenomenological object, and atemporal, as the same proceeding of the matter requires. However, this writing does not only evoke Borges authority nor Ingarden’s own authority to say what he says; it simply anticipates itself, tries to come before his next move and has as its main purpose to unmask that romantic idea or not, that politicized idea or not, institutionalized or not, of what the phenomenon of the library can be, of what it has represented in ancient history and in the most recent modernity.

Compassion and indifference: elements offered by Mèlich’s ethics of compassion to overcome social indifference
type: item
description: The general objective of the research was to analyze how it is possible to overcome social indifference based on some constituent elements of Mèlich’s ethics of compassion. To this end, the development of apathy was traced from the Stoics, mainly, to the current concept of indifference and thus provide an answer as to how to overcome this indifference in contemporary society. It was considered necessary to clarify the concepts of apathy and indifference, since in some contexts they are taken as similar, and even considered synonymous, even though, in their essence, if one wishes to call them in any way, they are completely different from each other. The type of research was qualitative, immersed in the hermeneutical arc method proposed by Ricoeur. The data collection technique was the search of bibliography from repositories of different universities, databases, and other academic search engines, under terms of reference that mainly fit into apathy and social indifference as key categories. The result obtained from this research indicates that it is possible to overcome social indifference, for which an ethic is required that is thought from the here and now, that does not seek eternal and universalizable principles.

Ethical Congruence in Organizations, a relationship of business values, policies and principles with the participation of decision-making and participation of its collaborators
type: item
description: This article presents a description of the ethical congruence of organizations, to know how aligned their actions and actions are with the values, principles and policies established as a guide to their operation. This analysis very close to the case study methodology was based on Adela Cortina's theoretical assumptions and on the design and application of a measurement instrument created to know the perception of Human Management coordinators of 6 companies in the city of Bogotá. For this assessment, three categories were established: communication, participation, and decision-making in the organization. The results obtained lead us to think that in a large percentage the categories evaluated in these six organizations are congruent with the proposed principles and policies, however, it also allows us to reflect on the importance of leaving no gaps in doubt, on how, not always organizations are consistent between what is said and what is done. This type of study opens the possibility of future research on business ethics and on the improvement of good ethical organizational practices, which lead to the experience of ethics as part of all the daily actions of companies, forming part of their ethos and becoming an attitude and a business policy that identifies it as such.
