FAYAD SIERRA, Javier Alfredo. Life Cycles as an Active Ingredient towards Intercultural Schooling. Rev. colomb. educ. [online]. 2015, n.69, pp.121-133. ISSN 0120-3916.

Life cycles are a reference to nature's behavior. Human beings are related directly to it from their own life cycles. There is an archetypal relationship with the concept of life cycle, which appears as a significant element in indigenous peoples because it determines some of the behaviors explained by worldviews. Within ancestral knowledge, including this view of life cycle, medicine men and women as well as experts in ancestral knowledge express their knowledge through the "active ingredients" of knowledge plants familiar to communities, and through those wise men's and women's practices. These knowledge bases are opposed to those of "active system", meaning the explanation science provides for those knowledge plants, the systematization of knowledge carried out In the past to set the ground of today's science. The role of schooling on what may be a repetition or difference of school ways explains the ways used to impose certain knowledge and methodologies about the role of cultures as different. We asked about the role of schooling concerning cultural practices that are not recognized in schooling models.

Keywords : Life cycles; interculturality; indigenous peoples; ancestral; schooling.
