aportes del trabajo social en la prevencion de la deserción escolar en la escuela republica de francia, el guabo 2024

Abstract

School dropout is a problem that directly affects the overall well-being of children as it limits their intellectual and cognitive abilities. This issue is mainly caused by economic factors, which prevent many families from ensuring their members’ the right to education. This thesis aims to determine the contributions of Social Workers in preventing school dropout through extensive bibliographic research and practical application in the children of the “República de Francia” school of the 2024 school year, analyze the causes and consequences of this issue and evaluate the socio-familial conditions of the students in this educational institution. The theoretical framework highlights relevant information about school dropout from the perspective of various authors who provide significant data, such as the reality of this problem, its causes and consequences, and the actions of Social Workers in addressing this phenomenon. Furthermore, key articles from various legal regulations are described to justify this research, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador, the Organic Law of Intercultural Education, and the Code for Children and Adolescents. A mixed-methods approach was used for the diagnosis to collect qualitative and quantitative information about the issue of school dropout. The techniques applied are: the interview with the school principal and teachers, the observation of the educational environment and surveys directed at students and parents, carried out through the respective instruments. The intervention plan involved the implementation of a guide for preventing school dropout at the “República de Francia” school, with the aim of being shared with a significant part of the educational community and includes a hypothetical prevention plan intended to serve as a foundation for the institution to allow the proposed activities to be implemented, thereby ensuring integral education for all children in this area.
