A methodological proposal for technological inclusion of the Wayuu Indigenous Community

Abstract

The recent technologies of information and communication (ICTs) have evolved over the years

and have become the support of different organizational areas. In the case of education, they offer

several advantages by linking these technological tools with new learning models. However,

minority groups such as indigenous peoples have been gradually isolated from these pedagogical

processes. Based on a review of theories and experiences, this article seeks to claim that indigenous

communities can also be included and use these educational techniques. To this end, a series of

inclusion strategies are defined in order to allow these communities to access such techniques while

preserving their cultural and linguistic characteristics. Finally, some initiatives of new technologies

penetration within the Wayuu indigenous community are suggested.
