The “Statement about the Brother of Christian Schools in Today’s World” in Dialogue with the Pedagogies of its Time

Abstract

This dissertation focuses primarily on studying and analyzing the educational and learning environment that contributed, indirectly, to the appearance of the Statement. The pedagogical currents that converged in the historical period during which this text was developed are reviewed, as well as their influence on the being and acting of the Brothers. The pedagogical significance of the Statement is also analyzed, and, finally, it is concluded that Lasallian pedagogy does not offer a teaching model, but a way of doing pedagogical discourse.
