Abstract

The work aims to explore the professional training of teachers from a transdisciplinary philosophy, in order to promote the understanding of the world by a citizenry that must confront the global change of the Anthropocene. Based on a qualitative methodology, the evolution of international trade in recent centuries is explored and analyzed, as well as its relationship with the extinction of planetary biodiversity, climate change and the health of our planet. It is a philosophical essay that approaches the areas of economy, international trade, geopolitics, artificial intelligence and teacher training from the epistemological foundations of Nicolescu's transdisciplinary methodology and Morin's Complex Theory. As a result, it is discussed how ICTs, software and apps (twitter, facebook, instagram, tiktok, etc.) collect users' personal data through mathematical algorithms used by artificial intelligence. It is concluded that transdisciplinary training contributes to the creation of regenerative schools that teach students to act critically in the face current global change.

* This article is produced within the framework of the project "Philosophy of Education: Reflections for Transdisciplinary Pedagogical Training", approved by the research call of the National University of Education (UNAE) of Ecuador in 2020.
