La Androergología: una nueva disciplina de la educación

A research work on the micro firms in Caroni district, has been developing since 1994. Such study pretends to deepen the theory that let the empiric- philosophical- conceptual and methodological building of a new discipline in education, called Androergology. The most outstanding aspects that can be seen from the philosophical bases are the following: its ontology, as a
empowerment of the individual abilities through mental structures change in a community of pairs; ethics as the one based on the assignment of Good for the process of creating
socioproductive communities_ which also means a liberating function since it can achieve a sustainable economic development by the assembling of micro firms nets; and the epistemology derived from the bases of the General Theory of Systems and the Morin’s circular complexities. Among the principles of this discipline that can be mentioned are Continuing
Education- since the individual already belongs to a society that always creates knowledge, global markets - the undertaker should produce for a world society, the age of this micro
firm’s man- as a discussion upon the knowledge production in that individual as an epistemic subject, the Integral Education- since the spiritual, social and humanistic aspects should be
added to the technical ones; and the Contextual Formation-since the process should take place into the unit of production. The androergologic methodology is thought out as a process
of two inputs: the business needs diagnosis and the knowledge of context. The central part focuses its attention on the adult learning process situation; and the concentric circles which
mean the ideal synergical relationship between the programmatic contents, learning processes, the androergologist and the necessary supervising process, which results to be the
integral and innovating element of this method.
