PEDAGOGICAL ACTIONS AND COMPETENCIES: REFLECTIONS ON THE COLOMBIAN SOCIO-HISTORICAL CONFLICT IN INSTITUTIONS OF CÚCUTA

Abstract

In Colombia, the issue of civic competencies has become a topic of widespread research interest in light of the historical reality of the conflict. From this perspective, this academic essay aims to reflect on the importance of educational actions that should be geared toward fostering civic competencies in secondary school students in official institutions in Cúcuta: reflections on the socio-historical conflict in Colombia. The methodology was qualitative in nature, using the technique of documentary review for analysis and bibliographic dissertation, which allowed for the selection and adaptation of various texts related to the subject of study. This resulted in an important dissertation on the role that teachers play through their work in promoting civic competencies among students within the Colombian educational system. Important conclusions were reached: The comprehensive educational training of students must be based on civic values that allow, through pedagogical actions, progress in the formation of a new social subject adapted to local needs. It is essential that official educational institutions in the city of Cúcuta project the formation of new citizens based on the grim experience that is part of a history marked by violence and conflict. It is noteworthy that civic competencies in students constitute the fundamental basis for the long-awaited healthy coexistence in the country.
