Propuesta didáctica-artística desde el estudio de saberes ancestrales de mujeres para estudiantes de Educación General Básica Superior

Abstract

The Ecuadorian curriculum of Artistic and Cultural Education encourages respect and evaluation towards the tangible and intangible cultural heritage, which promote th e active participation among students. For this purpose, recognizing the legacy that remains around ancestral wisdom related to the use of medical plants and the actions of care, enables us to identify and appreciate the valuable role of women in this preservation. Therefore, based on interviews performed in women from the urban area in Cuenca and research focused on active and decolonial methodologies, a didactic planning model is proposed. Through group activities of sensoperception, games and interviews, students develop their understanding cooperatively and to recognize how ancestral wisdom still present on women’s minds and practices. The artist technique being used is converted into the medium to materialize the processes of exploration and research carried on, which supports the preservation of oral traditions.
