Más por más. Para un juego cooperativo entre la sociedad y el profesorado

Abstract

If every institution has one or many professions that shape it and that fill its core, in those belonging to the educative area, this happens with more reason, given the fundamental asymmetry that exists between faculty and students or their families. Latin American professors consider, like those all over the world but maybe with more reason, that their situation can improve.
In any case, authorities must answer that desire, and teachers must follow it, in a cooperative win-win situation, in which everybody (the society, the students and the teachers) improves, instead of a zero-sum game in which you can only win when others loose. But the combination of the left-winged rhetoric that teachers surround their corporative interests with, and the fear authorities have of conflict, lead to a different dynamics, a zero-sum one, of improvement of faculty and of deterioration of teaching.
In order to avoid repeating it, there is a lot to learn from the Spanish case, with the aim on making the win-win situations, considering that this century is the century of the knowledge explosion, an unavoidable proposal that will allow the society and the teachers to have a relationship oriented at making the school ready for the step that it is being taken in the sphere of knowledge.
