Research ´s advances: educational continuity of young people in rural environments.

The objective of the project is to protect the educational trajectories of students in rural areas through learning experiences adapted and relevant to their environment, using blended teaching and artificial intelligence.

 

Through various methodologies used, such as interpretive, comparative and action research, descriptive and analytical research is obtained, with an interpretive approach. Quantitative tools were used to analyze the interests and needs of adolescents, teachers, companies and productive establishments. Qualitative techniques explored the perspective of managers on the school climate, the use of technologies and the openness of educational centers.
The sample includes 101 students, 18 managers and teachers from six rural educational centers, covering four rural basic cycle centers and two rural high schools.
The main results obtained in the progress were the identification of key areas to improve the educational experience, among which points linked to communication skills, school climate, problem solving and incorporation in the use of technologies stand out.
Through research, we seek to enrich and obtain information to create relevant and formative learning environments not only in rural environments, but also in secondary education, generating an integrative perspective.
