Parra Moncada, Patricia2018-08-162018-08-162017Revista EN–Clave Social Vol. 6 N. 12256-3911http://hdl.handle.net/10567/2032This article tries to establish the tensions in the labor and formative scenarios of the teachers of children about issues that are strongly imbricated, such as care, teaching and education. These tensions are derived from the social representations that are held about these concepts, coupled with the ignorance of the implications of care and their interactions with education and teaching. Caring for, educating and teaching are fundamental tasks throughout life, and necessary to lead a dignified life.esCorporación Universitaria LasallistaFacultad de Ciencias Sociales y EducaciónEnseñanzaEnseñanza - AprendizajeEducación inicialFormación de docentesMaestros formadoresArticle
