Critical Psychopedagogy for Concepts Epistemic and Social in University Research
Abstract
The objective of this work was to propose new definitions of epistemic terms that are used in the university environment and particularly in sociocultural sciences: epistemology, epistemology and theory of knowledge, on the one hand, and on the other, the terms of explanation and understanding. To do this, these concepts went through a descriptive exposition to later be treated psychopedagogically and sociocritically, which allowed knowing the intrinsic details that each one has; This process guaranteed a theoretical base that allowed and supported the proposal of new conceptions of the five terms in question. Apart from the research field work method, the discriminant theoretical analysis, the descriptive method, the inductive method, the analysis-synthesis and position, the elevation of the abstract to the concrete and the historical-logical were used; The socio-critical paradigm, the propositional method and, particularly, the method of the philosophization of events were also used. Among the results, first, it was possible to meet the objective of formulating new conceptual propositions for the aforementioned epistemic and social terms; second, it was detected that each of the reviewed authors has a different conceptual position regarding a single universal term, which leads to confusion; third, the three epistemes of epistemology, epistemology, and the theory of knowledge are synonymous, but epistemology differs from the other two because it is the only one that implies a treatment of the method; and fourth, regarding the social terms of explanation and understanding, both can contribute either separately or jointly to the physical, natural and social sciences, but the latter in some way differs from the former because it is more profound in its action in relationship with all kinds of facts: although it allows us to see objective questions, it is mainly useful for intersubjective and transcendental issues of all kinds of material and human facts.
