Estrategias docentes para el desarrollo de habilidades del pensamiento en educación intercultural bilingüe: caso Gualleturo

Abstract

In the bilingual intercultural community education centres of Gualleturo, processes have not been implemented that articulate the pedagogical practices of the teaching staff, nor teaching methodologies based on intercultural bilingual education. Therefore, the objective of this study is to analyze the strategies applied by CECIB teachers in the parish of Gualleturo, canton Cañar, for the development of students' thinking skills. For this purpose, a qualitative, descriptive-phenomenological methodology was applied. A semi-structured interview was conducted with 10 teachers who work in one-teacher schools in the parish of Gualleturo, most of whom are indigenous Cañaris, Puruhás and mestizos. The results show that the teachers are willing and ready to develop thinking skills among their students, as there are no prejudices that prevent them from carrying out such an action in practice. In conclusion, teachers are aware of the importance of developing thinking skills in the learning process of their students and do not feel limited by external factors.
