Advances in territorial development with a differential ethno-educational approach

Abstract

This document is the result of the research project entitled "Advances in territorial development with an ethno-educational differential approach". Specifically, this article addresses various social, economic, environmental, technological and educational issues with the aim of ensuring, from its approach and cultural identity, the improvement in the quality of life of ethno-territories. For this purpose, qualitative and quantitative inquiry techniques were used with the purpose of finding out, through observations and documentary review, the representations of traditions that establish behaviors and meanings. In addition, a probabilistic sampling of suitable sources was used to avoid biases in the research. Specifically, a chronological analysis of the legal framework is presented, based on struggles or social demands, which has allowed the achievement of territorial autonomy and the recovery of their own and indigenous rights, as well as the environment and production. The results show how ethno-education offers opportunities for territorial development. In conclusion, the importance of planning and ethno-education being developed from the territories themselves with the purpose of preserving the environment and traditions, fundamental elements for coexistence, is highlighted. In summary, this article provides a new perspective as the contribution of ethno-education to the development of ethno-territorial areas has not been previously discussed, which makes it an authentic material that invites to reconsider the importance of preserving ethnic territories. In terms of limitations, it is worth mentioning that research on ethno-education and ethnic populations is often complex due to the scarcity of available data and topics. However, through our own fieldwork and the collaboration of authorized entities, we were able to achieve the proposed goals.
