Los ecuatorianismos como elementos de la identidad cultural y social en el ámbito educativo

Abstract

There are several Ecuadorian dictionaries with which we have in our country, such as Susana Cordero, Carlos Córdova, Fernando Miño, who highlight some terms that are typical of Ecuador, which have been derived from Quechua words, Our Aborigines. The research aimed to analyze the words used in Ecuador and its application in the educational field. It was done by obtaining data through ten interviews applied to professionals and non-professionals of the city of Zaruma, between 18 to 67 years of age, that contemplated the analysis of 50 terms. The research used the methods: descriptive, statistical, field; Besides the technique of bibliographical research and the interview. At the end of the investigation it is concluded that 76% of the words are used by the informants and most belong to the colloquial language; While 24% of terms are unknown, which is why it is considered important to encourage the use of terms in the educational community, through a mural of Ecuadorianisms.
