Resilience is an attribute of the integral education of the university student

Abstract

The work aimed to propose educational actions from the methodological conception of Popular Education, which stimulated resilience as an attribute of the integral formation of the student. It was derived from the research project of the University of Sancti Spíritus “José Martí Pérez” Scientific methodological conception for the improvement of the integral formation process of the student. The scientific methods used were adapted to the methodological approach of participatory action research (observation, analysis of documents, Technique of the ten wishes, Technique of the Positive, Negative, and Recommendations). The actions were based on a self-triple and participatory diagnosis that offered the opportunity to design, implement, and evaluate them with the students, as they became the main protagonists. The results pointed to a more dialogic communica[1]tion style, a collaborative, joyful, optimistic, autonomous, and creative behavior of the students when reflecting on or addressing situations in the socio-educational environment where they interacted, as expressions of a resilient attitude.
