Somos cuerpos: educar desde la triada cuerpo, mente, sensibilidad

Abstract

This document is the report of the research carried out within the Research Internship of the Corporación Escuela Pedagógica Experimental (CEPE). It controverted the body/mind dichotomy, which has saped formal education under a reductionist view of the body in theschool. In contrast, this research emphasizes the preence of body mind and sensitivity in Early Childhood Education. Therefore, the objective was to identify key elements of the conception of body and the development of being through Participant observation methodology focused on the primary levels of the EPE. Voices from students, teachers, and theoretical perspectives were brought into dialogue to examine the tensions and relations of this triad, also highlighting the aesthetic dimension of being. Findings indicate that the body is not merely instrumental but constitutive of how we feel, express, think, and move in the world. That´s why, education should adopt bodily-centered approach, full of holistic and multisensory experiences, positioning students as active agents in their learning and encourage other forms of coexistence. The challenge is to rebuild a school with teachers who culd be facilitators of cultures and citizenship.
