La educación técnica industrial para las mujeres, entre la cultura escolar y la coeducación

Abstract

This article is a case study that describes how the school culture of the old technical college for boys Sucre can obstruct the coeducation process imple mented in the Institution in the last decade. For this, it is discussed about technical-industrial education and technical knowledge through the social theory of Male Domination by Pierre Bourdieu. For this, the coeducational process in technical-industrial education is analyzed from the concept of coedu cation in the Ecuadorian context as a principle of inclusion for women in non-traditional educational spaces, and that of school culture and its artifacts as reproductive elements of culture of the educational community. The data obtained is analyzed with the three levels of organizational culture by Edgar Schein, which allows to detail in depth the cultural artifacts used by the community to show their resistance to the changes contemplated by coeducation.
