A critique of the teaching work from: Don Segundo Sombra

Abstract

The main objective of this essay is to show my perspective about the work of the teacher in society through the novel "Don Segundo Sombra" view and analyzed as a text of education and training of being. Throughout this work I will make a tour of this novel to analyze the participation and function of characters such as Mercedes, Asunción, Don Segundo and Fabio Cáceres, in this way I will show how the work of the teacher develops there and I will present, as well, some ideas that seek a reorientation in the way of facing education. To support the conception of education that I propose here I will mainly rely on the approaches of the Colombian philosopher and educator Estanislao Zuleta, who,  with the contributions of Aníbal Ponce, Juan José Arreóla, William Ospina, Gastón Bachelard and Ernesto Sábato, will allow me to support and highlight the current educational problems.
