BETANCURTH-LOAIZA, Diana Paola  y  PENARANDA CORREA, Fernando. An ethnographic study in the framework of action research: an approach to understanding child-rearing. univ.humanist. [online]. 2018, n.86, pp.85-105. ISSN 0120-4807.  https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.uh86.eoem.

As part of a research study on the methods of child-rearing practiced by the displaced homeless families of the Altos de Oriente II settlement, this article offers a vision of how ethnographic research, from a critical hermeneutical perspective, is incorporated into action research and linked to an alternative public health. Thus, the present work seeks to understand the meanings of the emerging parenting practices within culture circles, which are scenarios for participant observation. From a perspective of action research with an educational objective, the child-rearing of women is described, in a transformative reflection that allowed to identify emerging topics and an orientation of praxis towards health education. The methodological approach focuses on dialogue in order to build an interpretive bridge that critically examines the educational processes of action research, as part of the ethical and political commitment to advance in the resolution of concrete situations generated within the community.

Palabras clave : child-rearing; public health; action research; ethnography; education.
