Abstract

The social impact of Dr. C. Ángel Luis Gómez Cardoso's contributions to Cuban pedagogy, from a humanities perspective, has been profound and transformative. The objective of this work centers on presenting the ethical and cultural dimension of his pedagogical contribution to building a more equitable, inclusive, and humanistic society during the period 1974-2025. The study conducted was narrative and qualitative in nature, utilizing the life history technique, adapted to the professional aspect, along with the consistent application of methods such as documentary analysis; historical-logical analysis; systematization; interviews, surveys, and testimonies from individuals. The results obtained reveal how his pedagogical work transcends the mere transmission of knowledge, promoting a vision of education as a process that fosters fundamental ethical, cultural, and social values for societal development. The study demonstrates that since his beginnings in the 1970s, Gómez Cardoso has championed the humanist approach through the formation of critical, ethical citizens committed to their community, promoting participatory methodologies and respect for diversity. This has contributed to transforming social relationships within educational institutions by fostering environments of dialogue, respect, and cooperation – pillars for more harmonious social coexistence. The study was conducted during the January-December 2024 period.
