CASTILLO GUZMAN, Elizabeth. Community pedagogy and indigenous community teachers A chapter to include in the history of teacher education in Colombia. Rev. de Inv. Educ. [online]. 2014, vol.7, n.1, pp.45-60. ISSN 1997-4043.

ABSTRACT After twenty years of enactment of the General Law of Education in Colombia, we recognize the decline of many of the principles and policies and educational aspirations contained in its regulatory framework. Abel Rodriguez has called this process the "Counter-Reformation" to explain how it was systematically sabotaged education as a right to locate in the field of market economy. In this context of tensions and struggles for education we have witnessed the weakening of teacher education and the alienation of the intellectual condition of the teacher and teachers Colombians. This article is a reflection on pedagogical processes, intellectual and political resistance from teachers of other educations that occur in the context of the struggles of indigenous to achieve autonomy in directing the education that takes place in their communities and territories. It is a movement that over four decades of experience and ethnic community educators, has created alternatives to formal schooling.
