VALLADARES, Liliana. “Educational practice” and its relevance as a unit of ontological, epistemological and socio-historical analysis in the field of education and pedagogy. Perfiles educativos [online]. 2017, vol.39, n.158, pp.186-203. ISSN 0185-2698.

This article discusses educational practice as a potential unit for ontological, epistemological and socio-historical analysis in the field of education and pedagogy. The author reviews the ways in which contributions from the so-called “new philosophy of science” have led to a redefining of the concepts of science, knowledge, theory and practice, and how this has led to a reconfiguration of the debates in the field of educational philosophy. The author describes education as a nexus of interwoven educational practices, and proposes a definition of “educational practice.” Lastly, the article offers reflections on the contributions of “educational practice” as a type of analytical approach oriented toward enriching an understanding of educational processes and the dynamic of change in education.

Palabras llave : Educational practice; Philosophy of education; Educational theories; Ecology of practices; Theory-practice relationship.
