Cultivating Una Persona Educada: A Sentipensante (Sensing/Thinking) Vision of Education

 

Abstract

This essay focuses on the need to educate the new persona educada, a dignified, honorable person with a good measure of social and personal responsibility who also possesses the habits of the mind and heart. To cultivate una persona educada requires a newly formed vision of education and pedagogy. Examples of three entrenched agreements that have become part of higher education’s harmful hegemonic structures are discussed. Finally, the elements of creating a sensing/thinking pedagogy, which unites the sentir of intuition and the inner life and the pensar of intellectual development and the outer life, are presented.
