Pruebas de potencialidad pedagógica, para el análisis de dilemas éticos del educador, aplicadas a maestros en formación de la Universidad La Gran Colombia, Sede Bogotá

Abstract

Professional ethics is a factor that allows healthy relationships to be established between individuals who make up a work group, members of a guild or simply people who share a trade. The work of the educator is no exception, as it is accompanied by a series of parameters that seek to regulate the relationships that the teacher has in all its contexts (with his students, colleagues, teaching directors, society and others). This research aims to infer and analyze the ethical dilemmas of the teacher which are part of his daily work. This analysis was carried out through the application of a Pedagogical Potentiality Test, which served as input for the collection of information and as a starting point for the reflection processes that were carried out with Bachelor students of the Universidad La Gran Colombia, Bogotá. A methodology of mixed approach was implemented in the research, where both qualitative and quantitative aspects of the information obtained. In the results obtained from the application of the Pedagogical Potentiality Test, it was possible to show that the teachers in training rely on their personal judgment to respond to the situations raised in it, there is very little expertise that the participants of the exercise have with reference to concepts such as due process, regular conduct, collegiate. In the same way, it can be noted that the ethical dilemmas that occur in the classroom are frequent. As a recommendation, the research group emphasizes the importance of the construction, implementation and application of the Pedagogical Potentiality Tests, in higher education spaces, as a tool that can observe and measure the work of the educator and the ethical commitment to his trade.
