Abstract

The main objective of this article is to deal with the skills of teacher training, in order to contribute to a sustainable and regenerative development. It is urgent to transform the predatory behavior that the human being exerts on the Pachamama (Mother-Earth) to create a path towards the Good-Living. The theoretical framework brings an ecology of scientific knowledge and ancestral wisdom with a transdisciplinary methodology. In the first stage, the epistemic models of transdisciplinary education are analyzed: self-training, hetero-training, eco-training and onto-formation. The second stage summons the ancestral wisdom, the absolute, and alter-native to these epistemic models. The third stage presents Education for the Good Living as a pedagogical practice of transformation at an ontological, ethical, aesthetic, political, and scientific level. In conclusion, the study argues for a human cosmodernist training that integrates and combines the knowledge of an external physical universe with the self-knowledge of an inner spiritual universe.
