Some critical considerations on the «Radical and inclusive approach to Education and Training» in educational research Algunas consideraciones críticas sobre el «Enfoque radical e inclusivo de la Educación y de la Formación» en la investigación educativa

Abstract

This article expresses a series of notes that constitute a critical approach to the radical and inclusive approach to Education and Training, from the praxis of those who accept it as a theoretical framework for their research, following a hermeneutic methodology. The following notes deal with some of the principles that underpin the aforementioned approach and which, in our opinion, need to be questioned. After an introduction to the subject, four considerations stand out, which are about the human condition that remains as a background figure: the first problematises the central notion of the approach, the conscience, since it constitutes a "theoretical system based on the conscience"; the second problematises the conception offered on the nature of reason, in this way we echo a debate with our intellectual tradition that has its reflection in the educational fact, as well as we value the opening of a series of horizons of research and renovation; a third consideration is raised to the reading that the mentors of the approach carry out, especially for their leadership, we refer to certain texts of Dr. Agustín de la Herrán Gascón, of the philosophical-pedagogical becoming of the philosophical-pedagogical evolution. Agustín de la Herrán Gascón, of the philosophical-pedagogical evolution of the West, choosing Socrates as a crossroads figure; fourthly, we recognise mysticism as a fundamental element underlying the training processes to which the approach points, constituting an asset of Spanish culture and intellectual heritage; and lastly, a series of conclusions drawn from the hermeneutics we employ in the treatment of these fundamental notions and principles that the radical and inclusive approach to Education and Training proposes. It is intended as a first step in this line of work and research.
