Incorporating the body into the IEPC PEC processes

Abstract

This article presents research on the implementation of Participatory Action Research (PAR) in community-based educational research and practice in various educational contexts to which students are assigned at the Simón Rodríguez High School. The aim is to analyze discrepancies between theory and practice and to apply the proposal entitled "Incorporating the body into IEPC-PEC processes," in which the following were applied: dialogic workshops, class studies/demonstration classes, and IEPC-PEC educational fairs. The decolonial methodology applied was: communal contemplation, alternative conversation, and community dialogic, through reflection circles, in-depth interviews, and documentary analysis. Among the results of the proposal is the positioning of horizontal dialogue in which thoughts are embodied beyond words; it is the bridge for community learning and the trigger for the production of knowledge is the reflection on pedagogical practice or research processes, this walk is not easy, since there are factors of resistance in external communities, the internal saturation of activities and teacher workload and a lack of national, departmental and national policies that limit the work to carry out coordinated work between the ESFM and Educational Units.
