Capítulo 4. La comunidad de indagación como herramienta pedagógico-didacta para la resolucióin de conflictos

The community of inquiry in the context of the Panebianco Americano Educational Institution located in Candelaria, Valle del Cauca, is proposed as a space that enables the staging of manifestations of the individual, as a collective that investigates, reconstructs and recreates according to their motivation, decision and expectation through pedagogical and didactic actions for conflict resolution. In such a way that it allows the student to develop reflective and dialogical skills based on autonomy through a
theoretical, methodological and practical framework, where praxis is configured as a transformative experience based on critical, creative and ethical thinking. This strategy has been developed from the proposal of Matthew Lipman, who, from the Community of Inquiry, tends for early stimulation oriented to a permanent, free and transformative reflection. Regarding the methodological design, reference is made to Stenhouse’s perspective on action research and is related to the proposal implemented within the framework of Philosophy for Children as an integral part for the consolidation of the community of inquiry in this institution.
