Aportes de la interculturalidad al currículo ecuatoriano para la construcción de sociedades con justicia social

Abstract

The issue of interculturality from the educational perspective represents a significant interest in the different dimensions of the Ecuadorian social context, considering that the school is the setting where citizens are trained and the society that they want to build is reproduced. That is why the presence of interculturality in the current curricular proposal visualizes and projects the possibility of building a more equitable, egalitarian and just society for all inhabitants. From this antecedent, this research arises that raised as a general objective to analyze the contributions of interculturality from the national curriculum, bilingual intercultural curriculum and ethnoeducation curriculum for the construction of societies with social justice. To achieve the proposed objective, scientific sources and documents that supported the theoretical construct were reviewed, the issue of culture linked to interculturality was addressed. In addition, the articulation between the curriculum and social justice was deepened. For this, an argumentative analytical discourse was used that led to the understanding of the subject and its interrelation with history and the current moment. The research reached conclusions that locate the interculturality developed within educational spaces as a link strongly connected with ancestral legacies, from decolonial struggles to experiences of freedom and integration that Ecuadorian society remains today. Likewise, the realization of legitimate knowledge is proposed that allows the formation of free men and women, with criteria and independence of thought that contribute to the benefit of a truly multiethnic and multicultural Ecuadorian society, based on respect, inclusion and acceptance of the different and most vulnerable without any distinction
