THE VOICE OF A COLOMBIAN TEACHER: CHILDREN, TEACHING, PROTAGONISM, AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN THE “REGGIAN” WORLD OF EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION

Abstract

This work is characterized by a research approach that is similar to a Case Study and documentary research. This research aimed to find clues for the development of protagonism and the potentialization of children's entrepreneurship, as well as to analyze the educational practice of a Latin American Early Childhood Education teacher and her approach to the educational approach of municipal Early Childhood Education schools in Reggio Emilia/Italy. To this end, it begins with the presentation of the story of Loris Malaguzzi and the principles of the educational approach of Reggio Emilia/Italy. Loris Malaguzzi was the main protagonist in the construction of this educational approach. Next, the voice of a Colombian teacher is put on stage with the presentation of her educational practice which is close to Reggio Emilia's educational approach. Based on this analysis, the following possibilities were highlighted: an educational practice together with children and families through research that seeks respect and care for nature and research as a constitutive corpus of educational practice in Early Childhood Education.
