Concepciones y prácticas sobre la importancia de las pedagogías feministas en la formación en psicología. Análisis de la experiencia en una universidad privada de Quito.

Abstract

Feminist pedagogies have made an important contribution to psychology, however, in the Ecuadorian context these contributions have not been addressed. In this research I intend to identify how feminist pedagogies converge with the postulates of critical psychology, analyzing the experience of a private university in Quito, by conducting 8 interviews with teachers and students of this institution and 1 interview with a university teacher from another institution. The findings point out that the changes in the educational processes in Ecuador, far from favoring the implementation of critical views, have imposed hegemonic visions: feminist teachers will explain the limitations they encounter in their quest to contribute to the construction of emancipatory knowledge through the use of feminist pedagogies, as well as the strategies they use to overcome these limitations. The students, without being feminists, recognize the essential contribution of these teachers and pedagogies and express that the impact they have had on their lives goes beyond academic and professional boundaries and have been a key tool to transform their lives and relationships.
