LA NECESIDAD
DE FORMAR FORMADORES Por Susana Huberman |
Desafiando
a la cultura dominante, que ubica en un lugar hegemónico al "saber
saber»; con la FORMCIÓN DE FORMADORES nos ocupamos de la persona
que enseña, del formador, que permite «saber más»
y a su vez pueda formar a otros dentro de una Organización, a los
fines del logro de la coherencia pedagógico-didáctica . Intentamos contribuir con esta formación a la pérdida de ingenuidad, aquella de creer que cada vez que alguien enseña, otro aprende. Se hace evidente que las buenas intenciones no bastan; que factores tales como: la profesionalidad del formador, los modos de formar, el conocimiento de las características del que aprende, hacen posible que esta formación sea una realidad Las rutinas, la intuición, las prescripciones, la mera experiencia acumulada; dejan paso a una teoría que se nutre de la práctica, para volver a ella cada vez más rica y pertinente. |
