La complejidad de las relaciones teoría-práctica en educación

Résumé

The aim of this work is to provide an analysis of the relationships between education theory and practice, taking the case of written language as an example. First, we offer a brief summary of the concepts of educational theory and practice, analysing their dependencies and how this relationship might be understood in light of the intentional nature that characterises all educational actions. Focusing on the case of written language, we refer to the environments in which pedagogical knowledge is generated and the different agents affecting its configuration; research, educational practices themselves, social values and practices and, often, educational policies. We conclude with a brief synthesis of which components uphold a theory of written language teaching.
