SUMAK KAWSAY -EL BUEN VIVIR- Y EL DESARROLLO HOLÍSTICO EN LA EDUCACIÓN

Abstract

The present bibliographical research has as general objective to realize a dual approach between the education and the Buen Vivir, looking for a pragmatic sense in the Ecuadorian education. This paper argues that the "good living" has lacked a dialogue in the social-educational and human rights approach, even though since 2008 it is in force in the Ecuadorian constitution. Good Living as an essential axis of education, should encourage the change of educational policies with an evaluation of indicators for its rectification, and thus forge a preparation of future citizens, with values and knowledge to foster the development of the country.
