Enseñar a pensar en las posibilidades

Abstract

Being a guide or companion has become a cliche in the educational world, also in teacher education. However, the mere fact of proposing ourselves as teachers a mediating place does not resolve the situation. It is necessary to explore this idea of mediation and to create its own meaning in teaching. In this text, the author reflects on a specific aspect: if teaching means to show and not to indoctrinate, does the function of a teacher consist in "showing all the possibilities", or in opening the possibility of "thinking about the posibilities"?
