La identidad del educador. Referentes de identidad constitutivos de la profesión educativa.

Abstract

This is research on the Philosophy of Education. It shows the basic keystones or core meanings of the teacher¿s identity. The author develops the idea along these four lines: 1) teacher as moral mediator in the teaching process; 2) the problem of the anthropological and axiological of the teaching process; 3) the problem of teacher¿s professionalism; 4) teacher and society (teacher¿s social concern). This study develops these core meanings in the sources of educational thought, specifically: Plato, Plutarch, Clement of Alexandria, Augustin, Joan Lluis Vives, Montaigne, Locke, Rousseau, Giner de los Ríos, and compare their conclusions with educational views which influence on our education established order. The fundamental purpose of this research is brings to light the education aims and reconstruct teacher¿s identity. And it pretends to go beyond the three most frequently held views in pedagogical discourse today: psychology, economy and policy.
