Study Anthropology of Education today involves soaking in a domain of human and social knowledge that responds to notes of plurality and diversity. There is no theoretical exclusivity in education, neither in the anthropological knowledge. So, from that point here it is to go becoming aware of the anthropological assumptions that accompany the work of teachers and educators in a broad sense, since in Education it is necessary to think about the historical and cultural contexts that influence it. All knowledge ultimately must be considered in relation to a context. Currently, it is obliged to examine new educational questions arising from an anthropology that no longer has a secure reference system (anthropologies regulations are gone). Therefore, some goals and aims of this subject have to do with the possibilities and limits of education and training, especially in times of overproduction, and the discovery of new dimensions in front of old problems, which should lead us to mark critical points for educational thinking and pedagogical action.
Theme 1. Anthropology of Education: the origin and development.
