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 2018. 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).
