Description

Almost all the missionary and teleological purposes of educational institutions prescribe among their claims the longings for a more just, solidary and fraternal society, but if the compassionate character is not formed, it will be difficult to achieve such a noble ideal. This requires starting by incorporating the premise of compassion into the curriculum and educational slang, and implementing the relevant pedagogical-didactic scaffolding. Some arguments for a compassionate education are outlined in the following lines, initiative that has its roots in a classroom project called Compassionate Generation (founded in 2015), proposed as teacher research from February 2020, which seeks to build a theoretical corpus that will serve as a basis for this educational perspective. It is an eminently documentary study, focused on the contributions that Neuroscience, Positive Psychology and Jesus of Nazareth have made in relation to this topic.
