Considering danish social pedagogy and its possible contributions to Costa Rican Education
Abstract
This essay explores aspects that surround Danish culture and its social-pedagogical practices. It is shown that Denmark occupies top places in educational matters in Scandinavia and the world; on the contrary, Costa Rica displays critical numbers regarding its education system. A variety of critical concepts are reviewed: first, soft power, which is the strategy for Denmark to become less military and more technological, artistic and creative; second, hygge or coziness which is described as a national feeling; Danish social pedagogy and its implications for the community; and lastly, the educational concept of bildung, which is intended to integrate the individual as part of a community. The possible contributions of these concepts for the improvement of Costa Rican public education are explored in this paper as well.
