Humanistic pedagogy, New School, education through artAbstract
This article presents some of the characteristics of the work of Luis Fortunato Iglesias, a Latin American art educator renowned for his work in the 20th and 21st centuries. His work is considered one of the pioneers in the field of innovative pedagogy within the New School movement, which represented a reaction against the speculative attitude of idealism and pedagogical positivism, as well as a rejection of formalism, memorization, competitiveness, authoritarianism, and rigid discipline, characteristic features of traditional education. Iglesias advocated more horizontal educational ties, opposing school bureaucracy through a humanistic pedagogy. Based on these key points, we recognize this personality, in particular, his work and legacy, which should be taken into account for active, cooperative, and personalized learning, as we commemorate the 110th anniversary of his birth in 2025.
