Abstract

This study aims to recognize which political guidelines operate at the educational level and influence the pre-service education of teachers in science and environmental education. The research question concerns which political discourses influence the curriculum of the pre-service education of teachers in science and environmental education in Colombia. To address this question, we conducted exploratory research regarding educational policies from 1886 to 2017; these consisted of eight laws, nineteen decrees, and eight resolutions. Additionally, we made use of the document of the Colombian System of Educator Education and Policy Guidelines. Finally, in the Universidad del Valle, we studied five resolutions that guided the pre-service education of teachers in science education from 2002 to 2017. In our introduction, we discuss a range of theoretical influences, such as of the World Bank and Western European thought, in education policy discourses that are subsequently supported by the results of our research. Our findings help to understand how scientific and environmental education knowledge could, in response to the educational policy, co-exist or compete with each other for placement.

教育政策对科学与环境教育教师职前教育的影响:拉丁美洲背景

本研究旨在认识哪些政治指导方针在教育层面起作用，并影响科学和环境教育教师的职前教育。研究问题涉及政治话语对哥伦比亚科学和环境教育教师职前教育课程的影响。为此，我们对1886年至2017年的教育政策进行了探索性研究;其中包括八项法律、十九项法令和八项决议。此外，我们还利用了哥伦比亚教育工作者教育和政策指导体系的文件。最后，在Valle大学，我们研究了2002 - 2017年指导科学教育教师职前教育的五项决议。在我们的引言中，我们讨论了一系列理论影响，如世界银行和西欧思想，在教育政策话语中，随后由我们的研究结果支持。我们的研究结果有助于理解科学和环境教育知识是如何根据教育政策共存或相互竞争的。

期刊介绍： Studia Paedagogica publishes original papers on education, upbringing and learning from all spheres of social life. The papers are theoretical, but mainly empirical as the journal publishes research undertaken in the Czech Republic and abroad. The journal publishes only original research papers and is open to both experienced and early researchers. Early researchers can publish their papers in the section Emerging Researchers of the journal and are offered intensive editorial support. The journal is interdisciplinary - it covers current topics in educational research while at the same time providing scope for studies grounded in other social sciences. The journal publishes four issues per year, two issues are dedicated to general interest articles and are in Czech, two issues are on a single topic and are in English. Studia Paedagogica is a peer reviewed journal published by the Masaryk University. The executive editors are members of the staff of the Department of Educational Sciences and the editorial board comprises of international experts. The name of the journal is derived from the name of its predecessor, Studia minora facultatis philosophicae universitatis brunensis (Sborník prací filozofické fakulty brněnské univerzity), which was issued from 1996 to 2008. However, the tradition of the journal dates much further back as the pedagogical-psychological series of the journal was published even between 1966 to 1995.
