La representación de las mujeres en el texto oficial de historia de primero de BGU

Abstract

Women and their role in history in a context of claiming rights and social roles are issues that have had a continuous impact on society, for which they have been approached from different points of view, such as political, social, economical and educational. That is why, based on these ideas, the latter was taken as a reference, since it is in this area where the knowledge that structures society and science is built. This is how it has been shown that androcentrism, discrimination and invisibility have been dominant elements around the history of women and their teaching through school textbooks. It is for this reason that the present investigation had as a general objective to analyze how women are represented in the official school text of History of the First of BGU in relation to the last curricular proposal of 2016. For this purpose, a qualitative approach was used with a documentary methodology and a content analysis technique. The results obtained made it possible to identify the changes and continuities present in relation to women in history taught in Ecuadorian public education and perhaps in private education. Likewise, it was possible to assess the progress made in this field of study in relation to gender equality enacted in educational innovations in recent years.
