Pequeños retos, para grandes amigos. La pedagogía de san Agustín vista desde la teoría de juegos de Nash.

Abstract

The aim of this work is to carry out a qualitative research whose object is to investigate the concept of friendship, in seventh grade students, in the light of Augustinian pedagogy. In order to obtain the object of investigation "games" or activities of the theory of games were used from the proposals of John Forbes Nash. The use of these games allows us to investigate, in a closer way to reality, the definition of friendship that the subjects of the Augustinian school of Suba (from now on C. A. S.) have, more precisely of the 7th grade, thus avoiding biased or influenced responses by the links established between the subjects and the person who carries out the survey. Within the educational proposal of the Augustinian schools, values form the basis ofeducation, in particular the value of friendship as a basic ingredient of fraternity as a charism proper to the Order and transmitted to its formative mission, as evidenced in the proposal of the International Augustinian Recollect Educational Network (EDUCAR) and the program "Witnesses in the School". In this context the doubt arises regarding the concept of friendship that the subjects of the study have in the Augustinian Suba School; some games will be implemented that will go from a diagnostic exercise to give a glance to the fulfillment of our mission within the pedagogical recommendations of the Augustinian Recollect thought, and in a gradual way the activities proposed in this document will be implemented in such a way that they will allow to surpass the filter of convenience that the student can develop when he feels investigated on his appropriation of the value of the "true friendship" and its true purpose: the common good.
