Abstract

Spirituality has become a tool to strengthen universal values recently accepted by the World Health Organization as part of the dimensions that the human being possesses, so the purpose of the research was to generate a theoretical construct about spirituality. in the basic education subsystem under a transrational approach, responding to the reality characterized by the crisis in terms of values that affects Venezuelan society. The main theoretical references used to support the researcher's position are Wilber (2005) with the Holonic Integral Theory and the Levels of Consciousness of being; Zohar and Marshall (2002) from Spiritual Intelligence. The investigative process is approached from the transcomplexity and the multimethod, understood: in three quantitative, qualitative and integrative phases. In the quantitative phase, from an intentional stratified sample of 105 people from Colegio La Concepción. The data collection technique was the survey based on the spirituality questionnaire of Parsian and Dunning (2008) with a percentage analysis of the results that ends with a radial diagram called tetraspirimeter. In the qualitative phase, semi-structured interviews were conducted with four key informants, where the categories Interiority, Educational Praxis, Beliefs, and Family Integration were obtained, which were triangulated into matrices, the latter corresponding to the integrative phase that culminates in Transtriagulation. From this process emerges the theoretical construction Education for Transcendence whose principles are Interiority, Reflexibility and Integrality. Among his contributions is a vision of an education with meaning that seeks training transcendent to the cognitive based on the transversal axis of love.
