Don Bosco's Pedagogy, Preventive System, in the Projects of Linking with Society

Abstract

Don Bosco's pedagogy, the preventive system, is part of the work of the Salesian institutions that is evident in the various activities that the student carries out: research, teaching and outreach. The link with society is a strategic, transversal space that leaves its mark on those who participate in this activity. The objective of this research is to determine the relationship between Don Bosco's pedagogy and the application of the preventive system in outreach projects. The methodology applied was historical- logical, analytical-synthetic. Non-probabilistic intentional sampling was used at the discretion of the authors according to the characteristics. The type of research was explanatory, the paradigm was interpretative-phenomenological, while its approach was of a mixed type. The analysis of the information was supported by Nvivo software, where a descriptive analysis was carried out through the use of frequencies. As a result of this research, it was determined that there is a greater leverage with the communities where the students carried out the linkage projects, and the positioning of Don Bosco's Pedagogy, which is based on the pillars of reason, faith and love.
