Análisis del conocimiento de los y las docentes sobre el curriculum oculto en la Unidad Educativa Agustín Cuesta Vintimilla durante el año lectivo 2021 - 2022

Abstract

This research was conducted at the Agustín Cuesta Vintimilla Educational Unit located in Narancay bajo, via Nero, half a block from the Panamerican Highway south in the parish of Baños in the canton of Cuenca in the province of Azuay, in order to know the level of knowledge about the hidden curriculum that the teachers of the middle school of the institution have, For this purpose, a methodology with a qualitative approach based on semi-structured interviews was carried out and a focus group was also applied, which made it possible to collect data to extract deeper knowledge of the subject and for all the above mentioned, a total of 7 teachers were involved, belonging to the sub-level of the middle elementary school. In the same way, it can be said that the level of knowledge that the middle school teachers of the institution have about the hidden curriculum and about gender issues is too low because many teachers do not know about the concept of gender and how to apply it to the teaching-learning processes that take place in their classes. In relation to the individual differences of the students, teachers try to attend to the realities, needs and interests of the students, although they recognize that it is quite difficult due to the administrative overload that they also have to carry out as teachers. Finally, with respect to the application of the gender approach in the teaching-learning processes, teachers understand that it is vitally important to carry out training, since this way they can become aware of the problem of the hidden curriculum in order to handle it with due care and thus improve their training as teachers and improve society in general.
