Approach To Academic Autobiography as A Technique for The Pedagogical Process

Abstract

The preparation of autobiographical memories in the educational field is a valuable resource to address school conflicts and understand the cultural and historical evolution of students. The academic life of each student, along with their family, geographic and social context, is essential to address school conflicts and understand the progress of an individual or educational group. The autobiographical narrative promotes an advanced development of critical thinking and written expression, encouraging self-observation and analysis of social influences in the students' lives. In the Mexican educational context, where the degree at the higher level is low, the preparation of autobiographical memories can facilitate the choice of research topics and strengthen the personal and professional identity of the intern. Autobiography not only allows students to reflect on their career, but also helps them reconstruct significant experiences, contributing to their personal and professional development. Furthermore, the autobiography technique can be used to strengthen the bond between teachers and students, allowing the former to better know their pupils and their contexts. In this article, various concepts related to autobiography and its variants were reviewed, considering that its application in different stages of school life is a powerful didactic technique for the comprehensive development of the student body and its broad insertion in the community. Given the theoretical approach, it was possible to conclude that autobiography is presented as an effective technique that enriches both the pedagogical process in general and the comprehensive training of each student, becoming an essential resource in contemporary education.
