In the first instance, the context and the problems to be investigated are described, which are the factors that hinder the participation of Wayuu students in pedagogical activities related to their cultural heritage. Next, taking into account the background, the problem question is formulated; the importance and relevance of the work and the importance and relevance of the work and the objectives are stated. Subsequently, the methodological route of the research work is proposed, specifying the sociocritical paradigm; the methodological strategy of educational action research; interview techniques, documentary research, mental mapping and tools for collecting data and information. Then, the theoretical referents are exposed, which from one perspective or another, offer contributions that help to contextualize the problem, to understand it, to interpret it and to analyze it. Finally, the chapters of results that account for the emerging categories resulting from the analysis of the information collected with the application of the different instruments are presented. In sense, the first chapter of results refers to pedagogical practices located in the Wayuu context; the second to the Wayuu school-student relationship; and the last, corresponds to the purposeful dimension of the research work on community educational tourism.
