Abstract

Considering that participation is a duty and a Venezuelan constitutional right; the country requires that it be exercised in all scenarios, the university context is one of which is urgently needed to guide the training process, committing to provoke and recover spaces, contributing significantly to the teaching- learning process as a practice of social responsibility. What translates into acting, betting on the genuine conscience that demands a reflective education. From this point of view, this article weaves together a reflective process oriented from the Socio Critical Paradigm through the processes of: self-reflection from the Simón Rodríguez Núcleo Valera National Experimental University in society, and (b) critical reflection on the self- reflection, for the strengthening of participation and social responsibility immanent to university work, a third moment: (c) contentive synthesizing reflection of the previous moments. Constituting a knowing process, which transfigures us, from a merely technical or instrumental interest, to an emancipatory interest through self-reflection and reflection supported by a contribution that allows us to ponder on the latent problems that oppress and compress daily life in communities, the localities, regions, the entire country, in order to open and assume horizons of participation based on responsibility from different social angles, in a process that implies and promotes the brilliance of Venezuela.
