The logo of the journal is a wheel, a symbol that wants to evoke several ideas: creativity and forward motion, the wisdom eye that enters into the knowledge of reality, the sun that radiates knowledge and makes ideas shine more clearly, as well as the globe, the sign of an education that is interested in the society where it belongs. This symbol, together with some other figures, is represented in the famous picture painted by Raphael entitled “the School of Athens”, in recognition of one of the most important moments of Pedagogy.

The present paper criticizes the current conditions imposed on poorer
countries in their path to economic development, describes a number of
cooperation models and presents a new conception of human development.
It focuses on education for cooperative development. People's growth
and development requires the preparation and training of those involved
in the task. The education for cooperative development is approached
from a moral perspective and, more specifically, from the perspective
of education for compassion. Finally, a number of strategies geared
toward this type of education are presented: communication,
self-control, and moral discussion strategies that make those in charge
of cooperation aware of other people's living conditions. Pedro Ortega Ruiz y Ramón Mínguez Vallejos Key words: Cooperation, Human development, Compassion, Education for compassion. |
