Facultad de Filosofía, Letras y Ciencias de la Educación
Esta facultad nació con la Universidad de Cuenca, el 18 de octubre de 1867. En su primera etapa se mantuvo hasta 1897 cuando se dio una nueva estructura para la casa de estudios superiores. Así, reestructurada, pero manteniendo su orientación humanística, retomó actividades en 1952, durante el rectorado de Carlos Cueva Tamariz. Para ese entonces contempló los estudios de: filosofía, historia y literatura. En 1965, junto a su núcleo original se incluye la formación pedagógica para profesionales de Educación Media y pasa a denominarse Facultad de Filosofía, Letras y Ciencias de la Educación. La reforma de 1975, la establece con estructura de un año de materias comunes y cuatro de especialidad. Su aporte ha sido fundamental para el desarrollo cultural y educativo de la región y el país. Desde 1978 organiza encuentros periódicos sobre literatura ecuatoriana, concursos nacionales y universitarios de poesía. Ha llevado a cabo dos encuentros sobre Filosofía y ha abierto licenciaturas en Eduación General Básica, Educación Inicial, Lingüística Andina y Educación Bilingüe; así como una licenciatura en Cine.

    Development of sexual assertiveness and its function for human sexuality: a literature review
    (2020) López Alvarado, Silvia Lucía; Van Parys, Hanna; Enzlin, Paul; Jerves Hermida, Elena Monserrath
    The aim of this paper was to present a literature review on sexual assertiveness (SA), on factors and life experiences that are associated with its development, and on its function in human sexuality. It was found that demographic variables (e.g., age, education, gender), sexual experiences (e.g., type of partnership, sexual victimization), psychosexual issues (e.g., sexual functioning, body self-esteem, emotion regulation, resourcefulness) and cultural factors (e.g., sexual scripts, gender stereotypes) might positively or negatively contribute to SA. Furthermore, the outcomes of SA for both individuals and intimate relationships are presented. Based on this review, it is concluded that althoughSA could be fostered by training programs, cultural factors still withhold many individuals from reaching a satisfactory level of SA. Finally, recommendations about how to further the study of SA are presented.

    Methodological Guidelines for Focus Groups with Children from Developing Regions
    (2023) Peñaherrera Vélez, María José; Ochoa Avilés, Angélica María; Arpi Becerra, Nancy Consepción; Rodas Brosam, Elisabeth Luisa; Zuñiga Carpio, Gabriela Alexandra; Jerves Hermida, Elena Monserrath
    Qualitative research with children has gained recognition in recent years. Nevertheless, special considerations should be analyzed before conducting focus groups with children from developing countries where methodological guidelines are scarce. This article provides methodological guidelines for conducting focus groups with children from developing countries based on an extensive literature review and our experience in urban and rural areas in Ecuador. Peculiarities of urban and rural contexts are highlighted, and child- friendly strategies are proposed. We conclude that focus groups can be conducted successfully with urban and rural children from low-and-middle- income countries if their specific circumstances, such as language and cultural diversity, are contemplated and all the materials are tested beforehand

    Adolescents Lived Experiences of Close Relationships in the Context of Transnational Families: A Qualitative Study From Ecuador
    (2018) Enzlin, Paul; Jerves Hermida, Elena Monserrath
    Although the transnational migration and its impact on families and society has received considerable attention from scholars, still little is known about its effects on the family members who stay in their home country. The aim of this qualitative study was to explore adolescents’ experiences of close relationships in the context of transnational migration. The study was based on in-depth interviews with male and female adolescents whose parents had migrated. For administration of these interviews, a tool consisting of 15 pieces of wood was developed in order to invite participants to represent family members in an expressive modality that could facilitate discussion and decrease tension provoked by parental migration. Thematic analysis showed that adolescents experienced growing up within tri-generational families whose structure and dynamics allow for a sense of stability. In these families, adolescents experience meaningful relationships that are important sources of support to cope with the delicate ...
