Abstract

Introduction: this work is an article that addresses Popular Education in relation to social, cultural and educational processes, which was originated from a presentation by Dr. Frei Betto in Havana in February 2018. Objectives: analyze the importance that some references have assigned to Popular Education as a transformative tool of contemporary society in Latin America and Cuba; and analyze the importance that Popular Education has as a pedagogical tool in the processes of Medical Education and Health Technologies. Development: Popular Education is a discipline with pedagogical and philosophical support strongly rooted in actions aimed at the adult learner inserted in their communities, however, the author redefines its usefulness for modern historical-logical contexts, with learners who have changed their styles of life, their ways of thinking and acting, and of confronting the medico-social transformations with new competencies in the handling of information, technologies and social networks. Conclusions: Popular Education is encouraged by Marx's dialectical materialism, which is still alive as a pedagogical and philosophical strategy within the processes of medical education and health sciences, and must adapt to the new socio-historical contexts, as part of an ideology that was and will be the basis of a socialism of thought and practice in constant evolution.
