Abstract
Los saberes educativos que se utilizan para la formación de niños, niñas y jóvenes mapuches se sustentan en la memoria social de los kimches (sabios). Estos saberes se desprenden de una racionalidad que ha sido exitosa en la formación de personas y en la enseñanza de los contenidos sociales y culturales. Es decir, son contenidos que cobran sentido y que se abordan desde la coherencia que los kimchesle otorgan a sus discursos educativos, a través de métodos específicos y de valores propios y universales. En consecuencia, desde un punto de vista epistemológico, jurídico y ético, el currículum escolar puede incorporar los conocimientos educativos vernáculos en las escuelas situadas en contextos mapuches. Finalmente, entre los resultados que se presentan en el estudio se revelan las categorías conceptuales de Kimeltuwün (acción educativa), Kimün(saberes) y Prácticas Socioculturales.
The educational knowledge used for raising Mapuche children and adolescents is based on the social memory of the kimches (sages). This knowledge derives from a rationality which has been successfully applied in raising children and in teaching them social and cultural contents. In other words, these contents make sense and are addressed from the coherence which the kimches impart to their educational discourse, through specific methods and their own and universal values. Consequently, from an epistemological, legal and ethical standpoint, the school curriculum can perfectly well incorporate vernacular educational knowledge in schools situated in Mapuche contexts. Finally, among the results presented in the study, the conceptual categories of Kimeltuwün (ed-ucational action), Kimün (knowledge) and Sociocultural Practices are revealed.
