THE TEACHER'S PEDAGOGICAL MEDIATION AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIAL SKILLS IN RURAL CONTEXTS

Abstract

The rural context faces adversities resulting from the global impact on society. Developing effective communication skills is necessary to understand the diverse perspectives emerging from the context. Education is a favorable setting for conceiving changes and transformations. As mediators of the educational process, teachers must lead pedagogical actions aimed at innovation for comprehensive training. Therefore, as mediators of the educational process, they must adopt contextual strategies that lead to promoting pedagogical actions to strengthen solid foundations that foster skills that provide opportunities for personal and professional growth through empathy, effective communication, and collaborative work. To obtain information, bibliographic and electronic sources, as well as repositories with relevant information, were reviewed. This information was then processed to construct an essay-style article based on the stated objective: to reflect on the importance of social skills in rural contexts through the pedagogical mediation of teachers. To achieve this, descriptive techniques and significant analysis were used. Reflections contextualized in rural areas are presented, emphasizing social skills, seeking equity and sustainability, with students trained as active and responsible agents in their environment.
