Abstract

GALLEGO-OSORIO, Gloria Yaneth; PENARANDA-CORREA, Fernando  and  MOLINA-BERRIO, Diana Patricia. Understanding the Health Education Process in an Early Childhood Care Program, Medellín, Colombia (2014-2015). Rev. Gerenc. Polit. Salud [online]. 2017, vol.16, n.33, pp.102-115. ISSN 1657-7027.  https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.rgps16-33.cpes.

This article presents the understanding of the educational process of the ‘Buen Comienzo’ program, in the gestation and first year modality, as an input to expand upon the learning about education for health in general. This is part of the results of a qualitative research, under a hermeneutical approach and an ethnographic orientation. The field work was carried out through participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and the review of institutional documents. Results showed that, although the program seeks to privilege the exchange of experiences and recognize the knowledge and perceptions of families regarding the upbringing -in a dialogical relationship with the disciplinary knowledge of educational agents- educational practices privilege and legitimize scientific biomedical knowledge over the knowledge of significant adults. This came to show its cultural weight, materialized in strongly classified educational processes which are framed according to the proposal of Bernstein, which guided the analysis of the study.

Keywords : health education; cultural anthropology; childhood; social policy; child care; qualitative research.
