EDUCATION AND SOCIOCULTURAL IDENTITY AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE IN THE RURAL SECTOR OF COLOMBIA UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ICT

Abstract

Education has an impact on the various sectors of society and that is why it permeates the sociocultural identity of young people in the rural sector; hence, the purpose of this documentary review article is to reflect on the scarce sociocultural identity of young Colombians. A dissertation on reality (educational, cultural and social) from a postmodern point of view and its implications in the face of ICTs. The structure of the article is based on the introduction, developed under three main categories: rural education as a fundamental element to strengthen the sense of identity; rurality as a historical, social, cultural and natural value; impact of ICT in the rural context and its incidence on the sociocultural identity of young people. The methodological basis is centered on the documentary review technique that allows the compilation of diverse information regarding the subject and its edges; a way of consulting books, theses, articles that leads to the selection of specific sections to give scientific and rigorous support to the article. With the following final considerations: there is a loss of socio-cultural identity on the part of young people in the rural sector in the face of the overwhelming advance of ICTs; the challenge of uprooting in the face of new postmodern social configurations, a challenge for rural education in having to confront these realities where ICTs have led to new alienating identities.
