| Sumario: | This article derived from research presents an overview of the conditions that allowed the configuration of a teacher education proposal in the Universidad Pedagógica Nacional (UPN) from Colombia, in the 1970s and 1980s. By means of the review and analysis of materials such institutional documents, educational legislation of the period and some texts produced by international cooperation organizations (such as Unesco and ECLAC), the research team identified the circulation of discourses related to the modernization of the Colombian educational system, economic and social development, and the American curricular perspective. Within the framework of these discourses, two concerns emerged. On the one hand, there was a greater interest in incorporating scientific and technical areas into secondary school curricula, which produced an articulation of different modalities that were functioning since the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century; particularly, technical subjects and vocational options stand out –that sought to ensure that high school graduates were quickly linked to the working market–. On the other hand, with the incorporation of these new subjects, it became necessary to create institutions and train teachers to teach them, a responsibility that the UPN took up as an advisor of the Ministry of Education and the main teacher training institution in the country. |
