Reinvent the University Pedagogical

Abstract

Education is a political act that embodies the values and interests of different social groups; Education is not neutral, the crisis that devastates the university detonates in social relations of domination and resistance. The study seeks to reveal the political-pedagogical transformations of the National Pedagogical University of the State of Chihuahua (UPNECH), denounce the mechanisms of domination and make visible the manifestations of political resistance that can lead to the possibility. To see the political reality at UPNECH, we turn to critical pedagogy theorists, such as Althusser, Poulantzas, Illich Freire, Giroux and Martínez. The study is carried out from a qualitative paradigm with methods of phenomenology and ethnography, the research subjects were chosen for their manifest rejection of relationships of domination in university life. The data were obtained through techniques such as interviews, complete participant observation and document analysis, all in a hermeneutic spiral and in the light of critical pedagogy. The findings show that the political classes have turned the university into an object in their voracious appetite for power and enrichment, placing it one step away from financial collapse and academic shipwreck. The violence of dominant groups against university students is something to which the latter do not give in; Meanwhile, UPNECH becomes a bastion of political resistance in its search to reinvent itself and intersects with a national political situation that opens the possibility for the autonomy of UPN, the fight continues.
