Abstract
The main objective of this research, which stems from the macro-project Evaluation of the Social Impact from a Critical Perspective of the Training Program for Early Childhood Educators in the City of Medellin, is to establish the understanding that early childhood educators in the city of Medellin have of their occupational profile. The text presents the findings that took place in the development of the Diploma Course on the Training of Early Childhood Educational Agent in the City of Medellin, where Research-Action-Participation was used as a methodological guide in its development in the consolidation of a scenario of dialogue and reflection based on the pedagogical experiences and formative trajectories of early childhood teachers. From the results, it is possible to identify the different understandings of an occupational profile according to the teachers’ discourses, which reflect the consolidation of the personal perception of the profession, as well as the daily practice of the same, highlighting the incidence of these understandings in pedagogical practice. Aspects such as the qualities and characteristics of early childhood teachers, the reflection and transformation of pedagogical practice, the qualification of knowledge and continuous training, and the design of pedagogical strategies and interventions are highlighted.
