Abstract

In May 2017 in Ecuador, the government of Rafael Correa handed over the presidency after 10 years and several mandates. His administration established the redefinition of the constitutional bases: the buen vivir cultural development and policy approach with a new transformative educational policy that sought to contribute to inclusion, overcoming inequalities, and poverty. His government benefited from high oil and commodity prices and broad popular support. This research has set out to review the results of the official national survey ENEMDU completed in December 2017. With a descriptive, bivariate, and multidimensional quantitative data analysis, we sought to shed light on the correlations between subjective poverty associated with buen vivir, school conditions, and ICT access and use of the school population in 2017. Results indicate a critical flaw in the buen vivir policies that failed to achieve their most valued and declared objective with indigenous and rural populations. 2017年5月，厄瓜多尔的拉斐尔·科雷亚政府(Rafael Correa)在经历十年任期后移交了总统职位。科雷亚政府重新定义了宪法基础:即“美好生活”(buen vivir)文化发展及政策方法，包括一项新的变革性教育政策，后者旨在促进包容性、克服不平等和贫困。科雷亚政府受益于高油价和大宗商品价格以及广泛的民众支持。本研究旨在审视2017年12月完成的官方全国调查(ENEMDU)的结果。通过描述性、双变量和多维定量数据分析，我们试图阐明“与美好生活、学校条件相关的主观贫困”，与“2017年学校人口的信息通信技术获取及使用情况”之间的关联。结果表明，美好生活政策存在严重缺陷，使其未能实现其在土著和农村人口方面最重视和公开宣布的目标。 En mayo de 2017 en Ecuador, el gobierno de Rafael Correa entregó la presidencia después de diez años y varios mandatos. Su gestión estableció la redefinición de las bases constitucionales: el desarrollo cultural del buen vivir y un enfoque político con una nueva política educativa transformadora que buscó contribuir a la inclusión, superando las desigualdades y la pobreza. Su gobierno se benefició de los altos precios del petróleo y de las materias primas y de un amplio apoyo popular. Esta investigación se ha propuesto revisar los resultados de la encuesta nacional oficial ENEMDU realizada en diciembre de 2017. Con un análisis de datos cuantitativos descriptivos, bivariados y multidimensionales, buscamos arrojar luz sobre las correlaciones entre pobreza subjetiva asociada al buen vivir, condiciones escolares, y acceso y uso de TIC por parte de la población escolar en 2017. Los resultados indican una falla crítica en las políticas de buen vivir que no lograron su objetivo más valorado y declarado con las poblaciones indígenas y rurales.
