Abstract

The education besides knowledge is a formation for the life; it is necessary form the persons in science and in the wisdom. Science is knowledge, whereas wisdom is a way of life worthy to the austerity and fecundity of the nature to give sense to our existence. This paper attempts 1) to discuss the education, which can follow the Ecuador as community, in the context with other peoples of the Earth and the diverse components of the cosmos; 2) framing the educational process in a state plan with sustainable model; 3) basing education on the context of a condition plurinational and a cosmic vision; 4) using semiotics to go from the concrete thing towards the abstraction; 5) rethinking the guidelines for the explanation-comprehension of the sciences, the creation and application of knowledge.
