This paper reconceptualizes children as already-being- citizens within kindergarten learning environments. It draws on Foucauldian heterotopology to show what type of heterotopias entangle two and three-year-old in everyday place-making practices and how they empower themselves to inhabit learning environments as creative citizens. After a collaborative ethnographic immersion in 16 Chilean public kindergartens during the academic year 2019, findings show three types of heterotopic place-making that enact children’s citizenship: Unpredictable movements and wanderings, new ruling artifacts, and serendipitous spatial transgressions. We discuss how these unsettle ECE learning environment utopias and invite teachers’ improvisatory practices for alternative spatialities and children’s creative citizenship.
INVESTIGACIONESFormación para la enseñanza del lenguaje oral y escrito en carreras de educación parvularia: variedad de aproximaciones y similares dilemas * Preparation for teaching oral and written language in early childhood teaching programs: diverse approaches and similar dilemmas
RESUMENEste artículo presenta los resultados de un estudio cuyo objetivo fue analizar la formación para la enseñanza del lenguaje oral y escrito (LOE) en carreras de educación parvularia chilena. Empleando un diseño mixto, para tal propósito se analizaron datos primarios y secundarios referentes al discurso declarado sobre esta área de la formación (planes de estudio, programas de cursos y planteamientos de jefas de carrera). Los resultados obtenidos indican que si bien esta área cobra gran relevancia estructural en las carreras, ello ocurre desde tres perspectivas distintas: disciplinar, crítica y pragmática. Cada aproximación configura variables estructurales y de proceso que le permiten intencionar, desde sus sellos institucionales, las distintas dimensiones del conocimiento práctico para la enseñanza del LOE. Sin embargo, todas las carreras enfrentan restricciones y dilemas similares que se relacionan con la escasez de recursos, las características de los estudiantes y las tensiones propias de nuestro sistema de educación superior.Palabras clave: formación inicial, educadoras de párvulos, conocimiento práctico, lenguaje oral y escrito.ABSTRACT This paper presents the results of a study aimed at analyzing the preparation for teaching oral and written language in Chilean early childhood teaching programs. Based on a mixed method design, the analysis of primary and secondary data focused on the declared discourse within these programs (plans of study, syllabus and head of programs' understandings). The obtained results show that although this area is of great structural significance in teacher education, this occurs from three different perspectives: disciplinary, critical and pragmatic.
