Del derecho a la práctica III: la afectividad y calidez de los docentes en las experiencias de escolarización de estudiantes migrantes venezolanos y sus pares ecuatorianos de Educación General Básica y Bachillerato de instituciones educativas de la Zona 8 de Guayas en el 2023-2024

Abstract

The present research aims to describe how teachers understand, conceptualize, and implement warmth in the schooling process of students in basic and high school education, specifically focusing on Venezuelan migrant students and their Ecuadorian counterparts. This study was conducted in educational institutions located in Zone 8 of Guayas (Guayaquil, Durán, and Samborondón) during the period 2023-2024. A qualitative approach was employed, utilizing interviews with teachers who have experience teaching at the levels of basic and high school education to both Ecuadorian and Venezuelan migrant students. This methodology facilitated the exploration of the meaning of the warmth concept within the educational system. Data analysis involved a categorization process. The findings provide insights into the perception and application of warmth in the studied educational context. This study highlights that the warmth perceived and practiced by teachers has a significant impact on the adaptation and comprehensive development of Venezuelan migrant students. The participants, especially teachers in public schools with intercultural experience, consider warmth crucial to building relationships of trust, positively influencing the academic performance and emotional well-being of students. This result underlines the importance of actively promoting warmth as an essential element in the educational environment, highlighting the need to implement it in a practical way and strengthen it through teacher training.
