El cierre de las escuelas comunitarias y su incidencia en el proceso educativo. Análisis de caso en las comunidades de la parroquia Guangaje, cantón Pujilí

Abstract

The present investigation is intended to contribute to the reflection on this problem in a special way about closed schools and their impact on the various areas in the indigenous communities. The work considers, at the beginning, a historical review of both communities and community schools. Subsequently reviews at a theoretical level the causes of the closure of schools and the consequences that this has generated in the different indigenous communities. In the methodological field we have worked from a qualitative and quantitative perspective and giving priority to the inductive method. For data collection, a series of instruments dedicated to teachers, authorities, parents and children was designed. From the theoretical review and the field work it was possible to define some conclusions and recommendations that gather the most important findings made throughout the investigation. Among the most important results of the research we have that: currently students must travel to physically and technologically enhanced schools, however these educational institutions are distant from their communities, which has changed the daily routine, the risks to which young people, boys and girls, the costs of transport, food and exposure to the community itself are exposed, values, customs and traditions have been lost, that is, the Intercultural Bilingual vision.
