La influencia de las prácticas familiares Kogui en la educación de niños y niñas de transición de la Istitución Etnoeducativa Kogui Sebanzhi

Abstract

This study will be conducted in the Kogui Indigenous Territory, in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, within the Kogui Malayo Arhuaco Indigenous Reserve, in the village of Tucurinca River, Palmor district, municipality of Ciénaga, Magdalena department, Colombia.This research analyzes how family practices significantly influence socialization processes and educational learning, given that the educational epistemology of the Kogui people considers the family to be the primary educator and the main source of knowledge and education at all stages of life. The Kogui family, within the school setting, complements the roles established in the Law of Origin in the formation of individuals and collective subjects. Since the family is the fundamental root of culture, it is what creates society, builds the community, and is the axis of the Kogui people's organization.The research methodology employs a qualitative approach, interpreting and describing the family socialization practices and knowledge networks of the Kogui indigenous community. It is based on the Action Research method, specifically the "Doubly Reflexive Ethnographic" approach, which facilitated constant and mutual reflection between the researcher and the research subjects. The techniques and instruments used were participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and focus groups. These were used to collect the necessary data for interpreting the findings from a narrative analysis perspective, focusing on the categories of family practices, education, and families' social and educational participation. This allowed for the identification of the influence of family practices on the educational processes of children in the Transition grade within the Kogui community.
