Discriminación social en el espacio escolar en un centro educativo de la ciudad de Quito. Un estudio de caso en segundo año de educación general básica

Abstract

This research seeks to analyze how discrimination caused by school xenophobia affects foreign students in their socialization process within the academic environment of the second year of elementary school in an educational institution located in the north of Quito. Social discrimination is the unequal treatment between people for racial reasons where it is not possible to include the person of another nationality or skin color, as well as discrimination for being of a different religion or gender discrimination is also something that occurs in the field of population in society within the communities of different areas of the world. And when we talk about xenophobia we explain that it is the rejection of foreign people of different nationalities where there is fear and lack of knowledge of foreign people, they are left aside and are not included in social activities where for obvious reasons they can not be participants. The problem identified arises from the observation of offensive comments to his classmate through mockery because he is of foreign nationality "Venezuelan" where it was evident that there was a case of xenophobia in the classroom. The methodology used to develop the work was qualitative, because it was possible to obtain information through the technique of interviews with open questions addressed to the mother of the affected child and to the student's teachers. Within the information collected it was possible to show that xenophobia in the process of socialization of students in the pedagogical field affects in such a way that children are demotivated to learn with enthusiasm, generating shyness in the student and privatizing his social life, because he isolates himself from his classmates for fear of rejection by other children
