COMMUNITY BASED PEDAGOGY


From decades ago it has been thought that the effectiveness and quality of
a teacher depends on the outcomes of students in a specific exam or test,
nevertheless those conceptions have omitted the important role of students
broarder social context in the process of learning and teachinig and how it
enable or constrain succes in the traditional structure of teaching.

The commnunity based pedagogy is a perspective of teaching in which


teachers use their surronding context to teach and where moral and social
purposed of schoolong are visible. In other words, teachers use the history,
literature, cultural heritage, and natural environments of their surronding
community to make the teaching process more efficient with parity of
participation which includes a par participation of some people with others
as full partners in social interaction.

Taking into account the previously definition it is possible to draw the following
example of commnunity based pedagogy. There is a teacher who works as
a primiry school teacher in a rural area where the context is full of vegetation,
many farms and where the common economic activity is the Agricultural
work. The farms are in charge of families who work there but they are not the
owners and those families in most of the cases come from other places; that
is the case of one family that comes from Nariño and they belong to an
Indigenous ethnicity from that place. As everybody knows, every indigenous
ethnicity has their own culture and language. Teacher could take advange
of that source and include that cultural information in his classes in order to
highlight the Colombian cultural wealth. Another way is to teach around

topics realted to farm animals, farm activities, vegetation of the place,


analizing a problem inside the community and try to solve it and so forth.

It is possible to implement a project based on the CBP principles because of
the area and school where I teach as a pre-service teacher has a huge
potential topics and situations that can be include during the classes.
One of the biggest advantage is that teachers and teaching managers are
willing to support and participate in the implementation any strategy with a
