Análisis del conflicto armado a través de los ojos de los estudiantes de la Biblioteca “Sendero Mágico”.

Abstract

This article analyzes the perceptions of students at the Sendero Mágico Public Library regarding the armed conflict in Colombia. Using a mixed-methods approach and employing research techniques such as field notes, surveys, and symbolic interactionism, the study explored perceptions of concepts like violence and peace. The results reveal an emotional and symbolic representation of the conflict, highlighting perceptions of fear, death, and weapons, while also revealing values such as empathy. The study concludes that children construct concepts through internalized discourses within family, educational, and social environments. It also underscores the importance of creating narratives in pedagogically appropriate language that explain concepts and educates students from a historical perspective, promoting peace.
