THE HUMANIST APPROACH IN THE NEW EDUCATIONAL SCENARIOS

Education from a humanistic approach must aim at the search for an integrating vision of the world, so that it can be interpreted and transformed. From this point of view, educational processes should promote the personal enrichment of the subjects, which prepares them to face their present and future life, as well as act accordingly with the changes that take place in society.

The humanistic sense emphasizes the social character of the educational process, which implies that said process cannot be isolated from man's problems, his ways of being, feeling, ethics and aesthetics, cultural and social contexts, economic and political. Hence the importance of considering educational goals that respond to social needs and are specified in actions aimed at the comprehensive training of people, which consider the formation of feelings, values ​​and attitudes inextricably linked to knowledge and skills.

The aforementioned issues, in the new educational scenarios that characterize the current era, require transcendent changes in the ways and methods to develop humanistic training. Precisely, the contributions that are presented in this installment in its MONOGRAPH section deal with research work and experiences applied in educational practice on the issue raised. Likewise, this number in its section RESEARCH IN EDUCATION contains scientific works with varied themes, whose structure complies with the formal stages of the investigative process.
