Systematization and Evaluation: Pedagogical devices of the Popular Education

Abstract

In this article we present a synthesis of the reflections about our researches on systematization and evaluation of practices of Popular Education, centered in: “experience and subjetivación”. We argued that, in the context of the present society, where the monopoly in the distribution of the information tends to banalizar the social questions, to erase the differences and to silence the inequalities appealing to theories of homogenization and the end of the history, in Popular Education the challenge is assumed to reunite to theoretical conditions for the understanding of the social practices and the construction of alternatives (that are against) to a unique thought. In that perspective, we understand that the systematization and the evaluation, reviewed from suitable a methodologic and reflective frame, can be constituted in pedagogical devices of the Popular Education to hit processes and subjects, sensitizing them to face such challenge. We recognize, in that movement, the present concept of “experience” in works of Michel Foucault (1994- 2003) and Jorge Larrosa (1994-2004). We looked for to understand how the systematization and the evaluation in processes of Popular Education, can be formed in experience spaces and to affect the subjects that reunite, sensitizing to them, as opposed to a ethical-political exercise of self-construction - in whatever “be his own self” (relation with itself), “be with others” (relation with the groups to that they belong) and “be-relation” (relation with the natural and social atmosphere) - from you practice historical.
