Abstract

This research, related to the Ecuadorian as elements of cultural and social identity in the country's educational field, focuses on the study of its culture by analyzing the use, significance and validity of the Ecuadorian words as a reference of national identity and representativity . Thus, the present research is oriented towards the study of Ecuadorianism as part of the national cultural plurality, in order to demonstrate if the terms used in the country are characteristic or not and if they are part of their cultural identity. Likewise, it is intended to identify the words used in Ecuador with their meaning for application in education. We surveyed 30 people from Alamor, half professionals with academic qualifications and half non-professionals, in the age range between 18 and 67 years. The methodology, framed in the objectives, has a mixed approach: quantitative and qualitative and the instrument used is a survey. At the conclusion it is concluded that many investigated terms are frequently used, are representative and are valid, while others are disappearing or replaced.
