Ser Documentalista Hoy

Cuando mis queridas colegas de Bibliotecología me contaron que se había aprobado el Bachillerato en Bibliotecología y Documentación, sentí un gran júbilo y las felicité porque he seguido muy de cerca sus esfuerzos y sé lo que significa este logro. No pude impedir remontarme al año 1977, -hace 14 años- cuando iniciábamos una modestísima carrera de "Técnico" en medio de una protesta general de todo el gremio de Bibliotecarios graduados de ese entonces.Durante esos 14 años esta Escuela ha demostrado no solo la necesidad que tenía el país de personal capacitado -pues el mercado ha absorbido los 406 graduados en forma inmediata y preferencial - sino también la seriedad de los planteamientos filosóficos y metodológicos que nos impulsaron a apostar por esta Universidad y por esta Escuela.

The Experience of Adult Literacy as a Learning Process in the Formation of Future Educators

Learning is constructed when it is significant, therefore, promoting experiences that can make sense and joy, which constitutes a challenge in the formation of future educators. In this article, we share the considerations emanated from an investigation that gathers the experience of alphabetizing adults, carried out by college students as part of their formation. As a result, this creates a learning process that favors the respect to diversity and the value of reading and writing as the liberation of mankind. The work displays the learnings constructed, the ways of respecting diversity that emerge from the alphabetizing experience, and the value that the students give to reading and writing as a liberating way of expression.

Learning Process in Teaching and Bio-pedagogical Knowledge Building

Bio-pedagogy is built on praxis, i.e. the interrelationship between reflection and innovative action where these two merge in the construction of senses to generate knowledge. Then, the following question arises: How is teaching understood? How can practice be renovated from the action-reflection-action in a recurring manner and in life itself? A way to search for those answers is the systematization of experiences –a modality of qualitative research. It promotes the transformation of a common practice, based on knowledge building by holistic approaches to the educational process complexity. The systematization of bio-pedagogical experiences involves self-organization, joy, uncertainty and passion; it respects freedom and autonomy, and generates relational spaces, which promote creative processes in learning.
