A cooperative education experience in a village school

Abstract

Personally, talking about cooperative learning automatically transports me almost fifteen years ago, to my beginnings in teaching at the beloved "Remigio Estévez" school in the Jima- Canton Sígsig Province of Azuay, an experience that I am happy to share because it revives the most beautiful memories of the past. As if it had happened yesterday, I remember clearly the day I received the appointment to work in the distant rural school. After a long and endless journey, I finally arrived at the school, the first day after presenting myself in the presence of the teachers and students, and noticing different reactions, they handed me the grade (sixth at that time, today seventh of basic) and literally said to me: "From today on it is yours, you do what you want with it".
