Estrategias pedagógicas para promover la cátedra de paz en la escuela rural venceremos de la institución educativa Palo Blanco Municipio de Zapatoca

Abstract

The research study “Pedagogical Strategies to Promote the Peace Chair at the Rural School Venceremos of the Educational Institution Palo Blanco, Municipality of Zapatoca” proposed as its central thesis that the Peace Chair, when implemented in a contextualized and experiential manner, constitutes a fundamental pedagogical tool for strengthening school coexistence in rural settings. The general objective was to analyze how pedagogical strategies can contribute to strengthening the implementation of the Peace Chair at the Rural School Venceremos of the Educational Institution Palo Blanco, in the municipality of Zapatoca. Methodologically, the study adopted a qualitative approach under the action-research method, involving semi-structured interviews, observations, and pedagogical workshops carried out with the students and teacher of the Venceremos campus. The main findings show that training in socio-emotional skills, teacher mediation, and cooperative work strengthen empathy, respect, and the peaceful resolution of conflicts, generating protective environments that improve and promote school coexistence. The study concludes that peace education, more than a standalone subject, should be consolidated as a transversal axis of the curriculum and as a pathway to transform school culture from early childhood.
