GOMEZ OCHOA, Ana Maritza. //Education and health: two fields of intervention, a common interest. Rev. colomb. educ. [online]. 2013, n.65, pp.123-152. ISSN 0120-3916.

This paper explores education and health as two fields that have tended to share a common interest in terms of intervention in society: for the first and second halves of the twentieth century, medicine normalized behaviors and ways of thinking, and pedagogy did the same, taking the body as an object to discipline and organize in the new social order. Methods, techniques and procedures have been used as strategies which, organized in pedagogical practices, shaped the new citizen in organizational representations which claimed modernity. The discussion begins with a review of the field of pedagogy according to different Colombian visions. Then, it focuses the question of pedagogical practice in the discussion of modernity and how it is applied in the medical field within the discourse of prevention and promotion of health. New forms of discourse emerge in the second half of the twentieth century as a culture of health which, being conducted by health education, it is appropriate as a form of governmentality. Palabras Clave Práctica pedagógica, promoción y prevención de la salud, educación en salud, modernidad, gubernamentalidad.

Keywords : Pedagogical Practice; promotion and health prevention; health education; modernity; governmentality.
