The SDG 4 and 5 in teaching performance of faculty in the Central University of Ecuador

Abstract

The present research aims to identify actions of the Central University of Ecuador’s faculty in the implementation of SDG5 and SDG4.7 in their academic work based on the decision that the CUE has taken from 2017 to 2020. This work used a mixed methodology between quantitative and qualitative descriptive approach, through the application of a survey based on a theoretical framework and institutional information from the CUE. One of the results showed that the faculty are aware of the need to incorporate the gender approach in the education system. Other outcome was the permanence of gender stereotypes settled in the patriarchal system, do not allow education with a gender perspective to be adequately inserted in the teaching process, which implies the need to apply the feminist pedagogy, which allows generating wisdom through the dialogue of knowledge in order to identify violence in bodies as a tool in the learning process.
