Spanish term

caracter transformador

Spanish to English Social Sciences Education / Pedagogy
Es un libro sobre la historia de la educación en Argentina.

.... Para los sectores de poder, el sistema educativo estaba en crisis justamente porque perdia su caracter excluyente. Al perder su caracter excluyente, se corría el riesgo de que se democratizara en exceso el acceso al conocimiento y pautas de sociabilización hasta entonces monopolizados por grupos minoritarios y de que el sistema potenciara su ****caracter transformador***. La potenciación de este caracter consistiría precisamente en permitir a nuevos sectores una participación más equitativa en la distrubución de los conocimientos y pautas de sociabilización.

Muchas gracias
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): philgoddard

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Peer comment(s):

agree Al Zaid : Even if it sounded a bit "Spanglish" at the begining, after some research I found some good examples of "transformative", such as: The Web will have a transformative effect on the way scientists and scholars access information.

Spanish term (edited): y de que el sistema potenciara su caracter transformador.

and that the system would realize its potential for transforming society.

Or, if you are squeamish about the inclusion of "society," then ":

"and that the system would realize its transformational potential"
[although this alternative sounds somewhat less natural]

Suerte.
