Detección de factores determinantes asociados al desinterés aspiracional en adolescentes ecuatorianos

Abstract

The following document presents itself as a compilation of the lived experiences during the internship process that took place in the Health center of Sauces 3. The target beneficiaries of the internship included the youths that attended therapeutic consultations and the members of the teen club managed by the center. The purpose of these interventions can be described as the identification of factors that influence the aspirational disinterest of the evaluated group. The document makes use of a qualitative analysis with a descriptive methodology; narrating the information gathered during workshops, individual consultation and psychoeducation processes done at the center. During the last steps of the process, external and internal factors could be detected within the demotivation found in adolescents when confronted with life projects; thus identifying internal factors such as self-esteem and self-perception, and external factors such as the absence of significant parental figures or poor interventions by teachers in the classroom. This allowed for recognizing the influence of these variables on adolescents' lives and their impact on lack of motivation toward life projects; thereby achieving the development of psychoeducational workshops and group activities, fulfilling the purpose of addressing adolescents' lack of aspirational interest.
