Pedagogía del cuerpo y acompañamiento, una combinación al servicio de los retos de la educación

Abstract

This article deals with the pedagogy of the body and the ethical relationship known as accompaniment. These are presented as elements of the educational practice with the aim of effecting a critical vision which helps the pedagogues analize their methods and their interventions. We come to the conclusion that it is necessary to place Pedagogy at an intersection doubly mediated: mediated by the body, as domain of education that creates, and mediated by the accompaniment, so that it can become an element of intervention. This double mediation enables Pedagogy to develop adecuate competences and equips it with a knowledge of education which entitles it to establish principles of intervention at the service of action and, therefore, provides it with mechanisms to face up to epistemic challenges that minimize the reservations raised in the latest years.
