From global education to the biology of knowing. Understanding the purpose of education

Abstract

Education is a process developed in a natural way by human beings along their lives and which is shaped through an educational process when third person’s intentions are systematized. However, along the last centuries, the education structure has varied too little requiring as necessary to check how much of the education advances made by the greatest innovators in education of the XX century have been gathered. We can warn that what primes today is an economic model of education and that the same educational evaluation has been centered through this perspective. When analyzing the current situation we observe that teachers’ training process has to be analyzed to give path to a model that can overcome the simple Cartesian duality of “be and know” to a coherent proposal of “biology of knowing”.
