Proyecto de vida, estrategia para prevenir la deserción escolar en estudiantes del centro educativo Rural El Teteyé, del municipio de Puerto Asís, departamento del Putumayo

Abstract

School dropout rates in rural areas are one of the most significant educational problems in Colombia, particularly in remote regions such as Putumayo, where social, economic, and infrastructure conditions limit children's continued education. At the El Teteyé Rural Education Center in the department of Putumayo, an increase in student demotivation and dropout rates at the end of primary school has been identified, affecting both students' personal development and the social fabric of the community. The purpose of this project is to provide students with innovative pedagogical spaces that strengthen their motivation, foster the construction of meaningful life projects,and contribute to ensuring their permanence in the educational system.The methodology is based on a qualitative paradigm, with a hermeneutic design that allows for the interpretation of students' experiences and perceptions, aimed at generating an innovative educational proposal with potential for implementation and replication. The working model adopted is Design Thinking, due to its creative, flexible, and participatory approach. The data collection techniques used include semistructured interviews with students, observations, focus groups, and document analysis sheets. These techniques seek to understand the risk and protective factors associated with school retention, including personal motivation, family support, child labor, poor academic performance, and lack of life-planning guidance.
