Synergy Between Being and Doing: Recontextualization of Territorial Education at UNEFM from the Perspective of Praxeology and Teaching Ontology

Abstract

This research aims to generate a theoretical construct on the recontextualization of territorial university education, based on the praxeological and ontological synapse of teachers in the National Training Programs (PNF) and municipalized programs of the Universidad Nacional Experimental Francisco de Miranda (UNEFM). The study addresses the gap between a rigid academic curriculum and the socio-productive realities of the municipalities. Epistemologically, it is based on the socio-critical paradigm and employs the phenomenological-hermeneutic method, using Martin Heidegger's hermeneutic circle for data processing. Findings reveal that the teaching synapse is not a technical process but an existential event of Aletheia (unveiling), where the educator transcends the role of content repeater to become a social actor rooted in the territory (Dasein). It is concluded that effective recontextualization occurs when pedagogical praxis detaches from academic alienation and merges with the municipal "Life-World," transforming teaching into an act of sovereignty and endogenous development. The study contributes the notion of "Ontological Geopedagogy" as a way to decolonize university knowledge and strengthen institutional social relevance.
