Rosy del Pilar Barrera Acevedo , Audin Aloiso Gamboa Suárez , Raúl Prada Núñez
Abstract
The objective of this research is to understand the social representations of peace of the young people of the Foundation of Empirical Arts, Villa del Rosario, as the basis for a pedagogical practice for peace, in the context of a problematic social context that does not guarantee the effective enjoyment of their rights. From a theoretical perspective it is based on the Theory of Social Representations. The methodological design is supported in a qualitative study of hermeneutical type, using observation and semi-structured interviews as information gathering techniques; for the analysis of the data the open, axial and selective categorization process of the Grounded Theory is used. The discussion of results shows 5 emerging categories of representation called: neutral peace, negative peace, peace as culture, peace as artistic expression and peace as a transforming action, as well as their contributions to a pedagogical practice for peace.
