Competencias Ciudadanas en adolescentes desde una perspectiva rural.

Abstract

The present investigation is related to the topic of citizenship competences, emphasizing cognitive, emotional and communicative competences, with the objective of analyzing citizen competences in adolescents in the Santa Cecilia rural area, generating a strategy that strengthens their development. From the qualitative approach, the phenomenological design is worked on, in which, for the selection of the population, the type of convenience sample was selected, consisting of four adolescents between the age range of 12 to 18 years and four parents. Three techniques are used for data collection: semi-structured interview, discussion group and non-participant observation; by means of which the triangulation of the information obtained is carried out. According to the process described above, it is concluded that adolescents lack knowledge of cognitive, emotional and communicative citizenship skills, ignoring their conceptualization, and also discourage the call to develop skills at family, social, professional level, since They are immersed in a context in which informal work emerges as contraband. Finally, a psychoeducational strategy is designed which is carried out through a triptych in which information is provided based on a series of strategies in order to strengthen the adolescent's citizenship competencies.
