ABSTRACT

In Nahuatl-speaking villages located in the north of the state of Puebla, family and community educational practices adhere to the Learning by Observing and Pitching In to family and community endeavours model (LOPI). Attentive observation is encouraged as children’s principal method of learning. Co-presence is favoured by the adult educators as a means to facilitate repeated observations, to demonstrate examples of the behaviours desired during work and to reinforce the spirit of observation by offering advice and moral support during leisure or socialization time. These practices are supported by a coherent Nahua theory of human development — particularly with regard to the psychological — of knowledge and know-how, which systematizes understanding of parental experiences shared by the community members and provides guidance for educational actions.

摘要

在位于普埃布拉州北部的纳瓦特尔语村庄，家庭和社区教育实践坚持通过观察和参与来学习家庭和社区努力模式 (LOPI)。鼓励专心观察作为儿童的主要学习方法。成人教育者喜欢将共同存在作为促进重复观察的一种手段，展示工作中所需行为的例子，并通过在休闲或社交时间提供建议和道德支持来加强观察精神。这些实践得到了连贯的纳华人类发展理论的支持——尤其是在心理方面——知识和诀窍，
