Representaciones sociales acerca de la ruralidad de un grupo de niños de 3 y 4 años del Jardín Infantil El Arca

Abstract

This research exercise seeks to identify and understand the social representations about rurality of eleven three and four year old children of the El Arca kindergarten located in the Chapinero district. The study is developed under the qualitative approach and the ethnographic method in which a participant observation, pedagogical workshops and the methodology of Jean Claude Abric (1994), from the structure of social representation, were carried out. From the observation and implementation, some emerging categories are evidenced that allow the analysis of the information, within them it is possible to identify rurality as a tourist and recreational place, where there is food and which has components of nature. In this way, a proposal is generated that allows addressing the concepts and images that children construct regarding rurality.
