La The Metastable University. Individualize training as political pedagogy.

Abstract

Digital technologies had exponential growth during the covid-19 pandemic, which led to the need to definitively integrate them into educational practices. However, this phenomenon not only accelerated the incorporation of digital technologies in training processes, it also led teachers in many cases to replicate an instrumental link with these tools. A reflection on the emerging problems from these educational links with technologies implies an ontogenesis of technicality that allows us to challenge the ingrained thinking about technique that hinders the possibility of transformation. Currently, university education requires a political pedagogy that deactivates professional automatisms and revitalizes the educational spirit in a mediated society that has become a pedagogical platform. Our work aims to recover the contributions of Gilbert Simondon's pedagogical project to propose a set of reflections that allow us to rethink the teaching links with technology. The objective is to argue the need to build a new technical mentality that goes beyond the instrumental links in educational training generated by algorithmic governmentality to recover the transformative spirit of the university in the face of the modulating power of digital capitalism.
