Abstract

El presente artículo reflexiona sobre la formación inicial docente en Colombia (FID), con énfasis en el Programa de Formación Complementaria (PFC) de las Escuelas Normales Superiores y su incidencia en la calidad educativa del país. A partir de una revisión de literatura de alcance y del análisis de marcos normativos y estudios académicos recientes, se examinan las categorías de formación inicial docente, así como la naturaleza pedagógica, misional y regulatoria de los PFC que estructuran estos programas, y que contribuyen en la calidad educativa del país y a la cohesión del sistema formativo de maestros. Se argumenta que la calidad educativa no puede desligarse de la solidez de la formación inicial y que los PFC, por su configuración institucional e histórica, poseen un potencial significativo para contribuir a la transformación educativa. El artículo aporta una lectura integradora que vincula política educativa, currículo y formación docente, proponiendo comprender la formación inicial como fundamento estructural del mejoramiento sostenido del sistema educativo colombiano.
