La experiencia de vivir y enseñar en una escuela Indígena rural en el Desierto de Atacama: percepciones de profesores y de la comunidad Atacameña

Abstract

This article explores the experiences of teachers working in schools located in Indigenous rural contexts in the Atacama Desert, in the north of Chile. Through Indigenous community members life stories and participating teachers, this study presents some of the main challenges teachers face when teaching in local schools, as well as the Indigenous community's perception about their children accessible education. Emerging categories from the interviews were coded and used to analyses the information, using a decolonising qualitative approach, informed by Indigenous Peoples' Rights.
