Project 7. Inclusive education
Main executives entity: American Technoscientific Publishing House. United States.
Project leader: Dr. C. Dania Acosta Luís (PhD).
E-mail: rodylu8910@gmail.com
Abstract: The execution of the project and its scientific and methodological results are related to the problem of insufficient epistemic treatment to complex social phenomena in the educational context, which limits an integral historical knowledge of society in students. It is intended to propose a contextualized didactic conception of marginality for the teaching-learning process, as a result of the application of the ethnographic-critical method, which will be deployed in three stages. In the first (pre-active) stage, an approach to the group will be made for its characterization, hence the description of the culture and the determination of a categorical system, which will allow projecting the subsequent stage. In the active stage, several teaching and extra-teaching activities were deployed, where students should appropriate historical knowledge from the development of micro-research and contact with primary sources, treasured in the Historical Archive and Museums, specialized databases. From the categories that emerged, a new didactic conception for inclusive education was formed in the post-active stage, and in unison was granted the investigative-participative methodology, which links the student with the socio-cultural institutions present in his community.

Project 8. Main executives entity: Guayaquil University. Ecuador.
Project leader: Dr. C. Wilber Ortiz Aguilar (PhD).
E-mail: wilber.ortiza@ug.edu.ec
Abstract: In modern times it is of great importance to carry out the study and discussion of the cultural problems that affect our society, due to the fact that these are impacting in a decisive way in the ways of acting and thinking of Ecuadorians, Latin American people, and in general of the world when globalization spreads, without there are no signs of solution; when the socio-cultural impoverishment of the population grows with each passing day; when the lack of resources tends to perpetuate perhaps another five hundred years of dependent and neocolonial underdevelopment, and when we resort to the devaluation of the cultural heritage of our peoples. Consequently, there are sufficient reasons to reflect on these problems, and that is why the present topic of sociocultural study is located in Guayaquil.
