Synopsis

Research Trajectories: for An Innovative and Transformative Childhood Education presents the research results of the research group "Infancias, Educación y Diversidad" (Childhoods, Educations, and Diversity, in English) of the Bachelor Degree of Child Pedagogy of the School of Educational Sciences of the National Open and Distance University (UNAD for its Spanish acronym).

The results of eight research projects carried out between 2015-2022 are presented in three parts and nine chapters. The research projects constitute a contribution to childhood pedagogy as a field of knowledge; to the training of teachers in childhood education, and to children’s learning process in early childhood.

Four features characterize the research findings shared in this publication: 1. The role of the child pedagogue as a transformative intellectual who with his/her practices and action in multi-contexts contributes to the transformation of his/her educational contexts; 2. The socio-historical place of children as subjects of rights and agents in their learning and development processes; 3. The recognition of the public policy for early education in Colombia as a reference framework for the actions of the teacher-researcher-transformer-innovator; and 4. The emergence of the digital technologies use in childhood education. 

We share this text for reflection, in the certainty that our readers will empathize with each of the topics discussed and that our findings will contribute to the two discussions currently taking place in relation to education of children.
