Decolonial pedagogy, an emerging epistemological field in the training of graduates in pedagogy at public universities in Mexico

Abstract

Public universities in the history of Mexico have played a fundamental role in scientific, academic, social and cultural development, in different regions and contexts, and the intercultural approach arises as part of a historical context in response to cultural diversity, ethnic and linguistic of the country, emphasizing, in which all the universities raise attention to the diversity of the student population, according to the micro-regional space of each state   The following text is part of the results of the research developed in the doctoral thesis entitled "Interculturality in the degree in pedagogy in public universities of Mexico", of the Doctoral Program in Regional Studies, work that was carried out in six public universities in Mexico with a bachelor's program in pedagogy in force, which are: The Autonomous University of Mexico Faculty of Philosophy and Literature (FFyL, UNAM) Faculty of Higher Studies FES Aragón of the UNAM, Faculty of Higher Studies FES Acatlán, Universidad Veracruzana Faculty of Pedagogy Campus Xalapa, Faculty of Pedagogy of the University of Colima (UCOL), and the Autonomous University of Chiapas, Faculty of Humanities. At the same time, conceptual and intellectual tools are presented to problematize the complexity of decoloniality as a divergent way of thinking, that from the theoretical and methodological formation in the degree in pedagogy, promotes a critical vision of the sociocultural and educational world in which the university students interact Speaking of decolonial pedagogies, is to build an epistemological, ethical and political positioning from the academic formation in public universities, as an alternative of intellectual construction that allows the rethinking of pedagogy from its historical critical sense in its firm intention to transform and eradicate educational and social problems that intervene in the school trajectory of students.
