Benjamín Silva, Carolina Figueroa Cerna

• The present text is a preliminary study on Matilde Huici´s pedagogical action and teaching practice. These actions are a source of inspiration of the Early Childhood Education Program at Universidad de Chile from 1994 to 1962. In order to create a guideline sketch of the academic action proposed by Huichi, ten semi-structured interviews were performed both to students and teachers from that time. In light to this, we state as a global hypothesis that his Spanish teacher pedagogical action was characterized by a strong ethic and anthropological component which was based on a clear use of the scientific method. Additionally, this approach conveys a solid theoretical framework which resulted in a clear, innovative and public acknowledgement to the Early Childhood educational prospects.
