The Training and the Praxis of the teacher from the Materialist Dialectic, the Cultural Historical Theory and the Critical Historical Pedagogy is the title of this dossier, which proposes to analyze contemporary themes that deal with a critical look at society, education and human training, in order to resume the contributions about dialectical thinking. It intends to discuss the formative processes that involve the school as a social institution responsible for socializing the knowledge produced by humanity, aiming at a quality education that can reverberate in the development of critical thinking of the subjects involved in the process about the objective reality. The texts are based on the Critical-Historical Pedagogy and the Cultural-Historical Theory, and mark their position by pointing out that the enrichment of human existence in its omnilateralism is a process of active and conscious appropriation, by the individual, of the cultural resources present in the environment and the value of interaction between student and student, student and teacher.

In this article we present and discuss the value of the ethical dimension present as articulator in the organization of pedagogical work. Whereas Ethics is disfigured by the events and understandings of today's society, in which teachers hide behind masks as proletarians of unnecessary knowledge and useless to capital, analyze the ethical dimension and its importance for the process and educational practice presents itself as an appreciation of the human being and all its manifestations. Understanding the School as a space for interactions, the curriculum becomes a cultural artifact for the teacher to achieve his goal with a humanizing education that aims at the emancipation of the human being.

The current education needs to adapt to the changes that take place and have taken place in society. In this way teachers face different challenges in order to achieve quality in education according to current needs. Teaching-learning processes where the student is the protagonist, creating spaces for dialogue where the active role of students in society promotes the opening of schools to its context, the appropriate use of information and communication technology and the attention to cultural diversity of students, are some of the tasks that the teacher responds today and on which we reflect in this paper. For this purpose the improvement of initial and lifelong training of teachers at all educational levels is needed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
