The transdisciplinary approach of the curriculum to promote social equity in Higher Education Institutions in Ecuador

Abstract:

The aim of the article is to address, from a complex, intercultural and transdisciplinary perspective, the pedagogical practices that are carried out in university classrooms. It also develops an epistemological position that defends social equity through the inclusion in the curricula of those ancestral knowledge that favour reflection and the rethinking of the current way of life of society. The methodology used is analytical, exploratory and interpretative, and follows a non-experimental design. The study population consisted of 384 students from the National University of Education, the National University of Chimborazo and the Technical University of Manabí. As a result, it is discerned that the cohesive, inclusive and equitable role of the curriculum proposes mechanisms to delimit the type of society we want and with whom we have to build it.
