Una propuesta franciscana a la Educación en la fe. Retos y desafíos de la educación cristiana en colegios católicos. El caso del Colegio Franciscano Virrey Solís (Bogotá).

Abstract

En una época marcada por el cambio cultural acelerado y la desintegración de valores y principios, la educación en la fe tiene un valor fundamental en la vida de las sociedades que han heredado una visión cristiana. Esta investigación explora las dinámicas de la educación en la fe en una reflexión que se realiza a partir del trabajo con niños y jóvenes en una institución educativa confesionalmente católica. Es prioritario dedicar un espacio de auto reflexión a esta área de formación, teniendo presente los retos y desafíos a los que se enfrenta la educación religiosa, no sólo en la sociedad, sino en la escuela, teniendo presente los cambios políticos, económicos y sociales que invitan al ser humano a prepararse para la vida en un ambiente hostil, en muchos casos, al testimonio, realidades globalizantes y culturales a la que están expuestos los estudiantes y sus familias.
