SAAVEDRA REY, Liliana  y  SAAVEDRA REY, Sneider. The Teaching Profession Seen from Pedagogical Reflection. Rev. colomb. educ. [online]. 2015, n.68, pp.211-227. ISSN 0120-3916.

From recognizing the variety of teaching profession's fields and functions -especially those demanded by external requests set by neoliberal age- this article proposes five correlated functions that define the teaching profession praxis based on pedagogical reflection: the didactics as a discipline about teaching that makes theoretical knowledge into an educational one, according to the characteristics of the context; human formation as an inner spiritual process of people’s self-fulfillment going beyond schooling; evaluation to better comprehend the teaching-learning processes and contribute to formation from authentic communication, participation in curriculum design as a critical interaction among ideas, proposals and educational practices, and social transformation as a researcher and a reflective and political agent. The purpose of this characterization, according to the research it is based upon, is to develop a sense of identity in teachers through actions that refer to their pedagogical training, as a response to the discredit and the loss of professionalization that they face nowadays.

Palabras clave : Didactics; evaluation; human formation; curriculum; social transformation.
