Education in the official pedagogical discourse, a matter of education?

Abstract

Interactions and interrelationships between agencies, agents and discourse of the national educational field are subject to particuar conditions of their dynamics as to international trends (to relate, read, organize). Hence, to analyze them calls for references to international trends including those not related to education. In order to analyze edcuation in Colombia and the educational reform proposed from an official stance in the official pedgagocical discourse of the Educational Revolution, it is essential to understand the constructions of notions in circulation, which are part of it. Said construction partially is performed via the recontextualization presented here in an exploratory manner, between the international economic field, the field of the state and the national eductaional field, resorting to Bernstein’s perspective, who related education and social relationships in terms of relationships between groups, power and regulation. If we are speaking about education, we should start by looking at where people talk about it.
