7. Learning while living

Abstract

The purpose of this documentary paper is to highlight the elements that characterize the ontological and epistemological considerations of the sociopolitical and pedagogical dimension in postmodern learning. Society is under different types of crisis; therefore, training teachers for such context implies having a curriculum oriented to rebuild a complex and multidisciplinary process that emphasizes an ethical and ecological culture in order to rethink, state, complex and transform the social processes of the early 21^st century. It is finally inferred that “learning while living” favors training of graduates, undergraduates and citizens in general so that they interact with a complex and changing, real world. For this reason, thinking, reflecting, observing, discussing, questioning, analyzing, verifying, and hypothesizing ideas are enhanced. At the end, after performing and assessing performance, the permanent, self-learning cycle begins all over again.
