RUNGE, Andrés Klaus. A historical epistemology of pedagogy: The work of Olga Lucía Zuluaga. Rev. Ped [online]. 2002, vol.23, n.68, pp.361-385. ISSN 0798-9792.

The epistemological status of Pedagogy has been debated in Colombia for long and O.L. Zuluaga has been a forerunner in this debate. Following M. Foucault’s proposals, Zuluaga puts forward a rather different conception, one aimed to follow the parameters of both practice and knowing. Her proposal is envisioned as a historical pedagogy which seeks to bring out pedagogy as such and to show its real being as both pedagogical knowledge and practice. As a theoretical-philosophical and methodological-investigative strategy, an object and a method, a means of simultaneous self-investigation and self-legitimation, is proposed. The goal is to furnish Pedagogy with a new set of assumptions which may place this discipline within a specific realm: one not defined by the traditional parameters of science. As a consequence, pedagogical knowledge would be reconstructed in its own specificity.
