Healthy lifestyles in the university context, cases of the RURD and FAREMEstelí Education and Languages Faculties

Abstract

This article healthy lifestyles is the result of the

application of the Participatory Action Research

(IAP) process, it was carried out with the aim of

promoting a practice in the university community; the

improvement of physical, emotional and occupational

well-being; inquiring about perceptions (conceptions,

attitudes and practices) from personal and collective

experiences. The IAP was developed in two UNAN

Faculties - Managua (Rubén Darío University School

of Education and Languages and Multidisciplinary

Regional Faculty, Estelí). This was oriented within

the framework of the VI Module of the Doctorate

of Education and Social Intervention, II Edition

1. This process represented an opportunity for

social reflection and intervention. This methodology

facilitated the analysis of reality as a form of knowledge

and awareness of the university community itself, as

active subjects and protagonist of the transformations

of its environment and reality, organized from four

phases: diagnosis, field work, program of integral

action, evaluation of the intervention and analysis

of results where the new symptoms were identified;

through participatory, experiential and reflective

methodology (focus groups, workshops, free listing,

perceptions test, photo ethnography).
