Spanish term

desarrollar... la disciplina

Spanish to English Other Education / Pedagogy Education
Same context

Al finalizar el primer quinquenio, en los adultos referentes de niños menores de 5 años, se habrán fortalecido o generado actitudes de cuido físico, espiritual de sus niños/as. Así mismo, se habrán sensibilizado en cuanto a la importancia de desarrollar desde muy pequeños la disciplina de asistir a espacios de aprendizaje formal, lo que les fortalece la competencia de aprender a aprender.

My translation of textx:

... they will have been sensitized to the importance of "educating" children from an early age to attend to school...

I did summarize "desarrollar... la disciplina" and translated it as "educating".

Suggestions.

Thanks Philgoddard,

I used the term because it is currently used by NGO as a synonym of raise awareness but I was not sure.

Thanks for the confirmation.
philgoddard Jul 20, 2013:
Sensitized is not meaningless! It's a perfectly good word for this context.
Manuel Aburto (asker) Jul 20, 2013:
Thanks Timothy for the piece of advice. Actually, I knew that the right word here is raise awareness but in the moment I forgot it. Once again thank you!
Timothy Barton Jul 20, 2013:
Sensitized Sensitized is meaningless in English. I strongly advise you to get your work proofread by an English-speaking professional before submitting it.

Not literal but the thrust of what is being said in academia-speak
Peer comment(s):

neutral philgoddard : "Develop the importance" doesn't work as a construction. "Develop an awareness of the importance" would make sense.
