The advent of the 21st century, the human being has seen before him the challenge of adopting more realistic positions to preserve his own existence and that of nature, this means that knowledge, science and technology are today at the top of the scale of knowledge and intelligence. The real and objective implementation of all the legislation that makes it possible to achieve sustainability in development on a global scale and above all to guarantee the environmental education of current and future generations, then, and within the framework of this study, poses a new challenge. This paper aims to make an approach to environmental education from philosophy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The recurrent changes that we are experiencing nowadays indicates that we are immerse in the XXI century, which means that we are facing a globalized society that requires an ethical, critical and aware individual capable to face the different problems that afflict their communities or country of residence. That is why talking about linking ethical values with university responsibility is necessary, considering that the vast Latin America must educate, not only and individual trained to carry out and activity in a certain discipline of knowledge, but also that he is responsible professional with the institution that formed him, as well as with the environmental, ecological, moral and social elements. This paper aims to describe the different definitions of University Social Responsibility (RSU) talking into account characteristics such as: 1.- Impact of this in the Globalized Society 2.-Emergence of the RSU concept, based on the laws that gave rise to it, 3.- Differences between Corporate Social Responsibility (RSE) and University Social Responsibility, 4.-Ethical values and their involvement with University Social Responsibility [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper explores the fundamental axes that currently converge for the needs of nature and humanity. The philosophical statements contained in this reflection become valid when it comes to articulating ethical codes with the advancement of science and, at the same time, educating through an axiological system that leads to sustainable human development. In this order of ideas, it is pointed out how Western progress has led to catastrophic events for life on the planet, coupled with the excessive use of science, without any ethical criteria to regulate their actions. However, as a result of the moral reflection of recent times, of the voices of various social groups, scientific improvements have been questioned and directed towards the production of knowledge that allows human activity to be deployed positively on nature and on society, taking into account that, to make this possible, it is necessary to combine ethics, science and education, to walk towards progress in terms of sustainability.

The reality of today's society makes it necessary to introspect on the determining aspects for the generation of an education that not only complies with the expected training standards, but also that integrally develops the ethical components in students in order to forge professionals and workers who perform around the aspects of responsibility and fundamental values for the common good. Due to the above, this paper presents a reflective analysis of the importance of higher education in the current global context, and the contributions of ethics in the formative processes of the individual.

This paper addresses two fundamental aspects in the context of contemporary educational thinking. On the one hand, it enters into characterizing the educational from the Latin American social, theoretical and historic context, describing the configurative components of the process from Freire, Maturana and Ilich, and on the other hand, developing a synthesis of the border proposals of the sciences of cognition through a comprehensive and active educational orientation base located in the context of the ecology of knowledge and the unique cultural mosaic of South America. The methodological basis is fundamentally hermeneutic and epistemological-political. The result is a contribution to the educational discussion revealing, the processes of educational transformation, both at a personal and community level. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we present a historical study of the culturalist contributions of Wilhelm Flitner specific processes for the epistemologization of contemporary pedagogy. From a literature review of the author, content analysis and comparison with literature on the subject, we conclude that Flitner proposed rework the epistemological body of pedagogy, following the neo-Kantian, own rationalist tradition of the first half of the century XX. Education is a spiritual activity and pedagogy is a pragmatic human science, whose object is the hermeneutic understanding of education in its historical and cultural context. Flitner ended up confusing the fields of Theory of Education with the Philosophy of Education. Both fields, but equally legitimate, are different. The Philosophy of Education should not replace theoretical studies on education, which correspond to the Theory of Education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we reflect on the relationship of games, cognitive development and educational processes during a time of profound technological change. Specifically, we consider the role of videogames in knowledge construction and in children's education. By studying both the logic of video games and how players understand them, we can develop interesting ideas for re-thinking theories on knowledge and education. Primarily, this text analyzes the role of video games in the world of play in order to delve into its unique narrative models. Finally, we evaluate their virtual features for learning and education in general, then focusing on the risks entailed. We conclude with a cognitive-pedagogical evaluation of the connective thought that videogames can develop. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
