Creación participativa de un repositorio digital para la enseñanza y preservación de la cultura Kamëntsá con estudiantes de grado 11 de la Institución Educativa Normal Superior de Sibundoy, Putumayo

Abstract

Education in multicultural contexts faces the challenge of integrating ancestral knowledge with contemporary technological demands. This article presents the results of a research project aimed at evaluating the participatory creation of a digital repository as a pedagogical strategy for the teaching and preservation of traditional knowledge of the Kamëntsá culture in Sibundoy, Putumayo. Using a mixed-methods approach and a Participatory Action Research (par) design, the study worked with 11th-grade students and indigenous knowledge keepers (sabedores) to systematize bead weaving and wood carving practices. Results show that 54.2 % of students rediscovered unknown cultural aspects, and 58.3 % rated the experience as significant. It is concluded that technological mediation, far from alienating, served as a bridge for identity resignification and the development of digital and collaborative skills.
