self-fulfilling prophecy, self-esteem, gender, neuroplasticityAbstract
The guide that you can see behind this document proposes an integral socio-educational intervention that will allow you to address self-fulfilling prophecy, self-esteem and genders from an intersectional, feminist and inclusive perspective; through a critical and correlational review of significant variables, the different stages of the life cycle and the main contexts of intervention (formal and non-formal education, family and community) are analysed. One of the most significant tools is inclusive language that performs a transformative function by making inequalities visible, feeding self-representation, inclusion, visibilization, promoting the culture of respect, recognition and equity. Specific strategies are also proposed for teacher training and rights-based socio-educational accompaniment, with a focus on diversity and social justice. From the scientific base, neuroplasticity legitimizes the power of change, learning ability and resilience throughout the stage of life development. This evidence will make the existence of a shared responsibility between the educational agent, families and communities imperative in order to collectively build a more just, equitable and emancipatory education.
