"... Reclaiming pedagogy as a form of educated and militant hope begins with the crucial recognition that education is not solely about job training and the production of ethically challenged entrepreneurial subjects and that artistic production does not only have to serve market interests, but are also about matters of civic engagement and literacy, critical thinking, and the capacity for democratic agency, action, and change. It is also inextricably connected to the related issues of power, inclusion, and social responsibility.[2] If young people, artists, and other cultural workers are to develop a deep respect for others, a keen sense of the common good, as well as an informed notion of community engagement, pedagogy must be viewed as a cultural, political, and moral force that provides the knowledge, values, and social relations to make such democratic practices possible. In this instance, pedagogy needs to be rigorous, self-reflective, and committed not to the dead zone of instrumental rationality but to the practice of freedom and liberation for the most vulnerable and oppressed, to a critical sensibility capable of advancing the parameters of knowledge, addressing crucial social issues, and connecting private troubles into public issues. Any viable notion of critical pedagogy must overcome the image of education as purely instrumental, as dead zones of the imagination, and sites of oppressive discipline and imposed conformity. ..."

"Sobre el Libre Albedrio Albert Einstein dijo que si la Luna fuese dotada de autoconciencia estaría perfectamente convencida de que su camino alrededor de la Tierra es fruto de una decisión libre. Y añadió que un ser superior dotado de una inteligencia perfecta se reiría de la ilusión de los hombres que creen que actúan de acuerdo a su libre albedrío. Aunque los humanos se resisten a ser vistos como un objeto impotente sumergido en las leyes universales de la causalidad, en realidad su cerebro funciona de la misma forma en que lo hace la naturaleza inorgánica. Un tema un poco complejo, pero fundamental para entender nuestro entorno y a nosotros mismos. El Libre Albedrío ¿Por qué nos comportamos de una determinada forma y no de otra? ¿Es producto del azar? ¿Estamos condicionados o determinados plenamente por nuestras circunstancias presentes y pasadas? Para empezar El libre albedrío no se refiere a si tenemos libertad política o a si la sociedad o los demás nos dejan hacer lo que nosotros queramos o nos de la gana. El libre albedrío o libre elección es la creencia de aquellas doctrinas filosóficas que sostienen que los humanos tenemos el poder de elegir y tomar nuestras propias decisiones sin estar determinados por eventos previos y/o el azar. ¿Pero que es lo que nos ha motivado como seres humanos a desear actuar de una u otra forma? La ciencia y la psicología en particular demuestran que nuestro comportamiento está condicionado tanto por nuestra herencia genética como por nuestras circunstancias ambientales (el entorno donde vivimos) y las experiencias vividas. Pudieramos llamar este resultado como "Personalidad". La Personalidad es el factor decisivo de la psicología humana. La personalidad se puede definir como el conjunto de características o rasgos psicológicos que nos definen y nos hacen diferentes a los demás, además tiende a persistir a lo largo del tiempo y las situaciones. Nuestra conducta es consecuencia tan

"La propuesta de hoy consiste en que recuperemos los cuentos prohibidos, en nuestro país, durante la época de la Dictadura Militar del 76… El objetivo de esto es ofrecer la posibilidad de llevarlos al aula para que, junto con los alumnos y alumnas podamos vincularnos con: Las palabras, las imágenes, la fantasía, la imaginación que despierta, lo que su propia historia que nos evoca. Vamos a trabajar con los más chicos y con las más chicas uno de los cuentos de Elsa Bornemann: "Caso Gaspar" que pertenece al libro: "Un elefante ocupa demasiado espacio". En artículos anteriores hemos comentado que este cuento fue uno de los "prohibidos" (junto a todos los que integran el libro antes mencionado), a partir del año 1977, en el marco de una política de estricto control cultural, que impuso la censura como uno de los mecanismos para vigilar y eliminar maneras de pensar y sentir diferentes a las que la Doctrina de la Seguridad Nacional imponía."
