Liaison with the community for the Dialogue of Knowledge
Main Article Content
Abstract
Higher education contributes to the comprehensive development of young professionals, but as an educational model, it requires the joint participation of all academic and community stakeholders. This paper draws on the experiences of integrating the dialogue of knowledge with the community engagement process, as described by students in the Taxation and Finance program at the University of Guayaquil. The objective is to analyze the community engagement practices carried out by students in a community in the Central Inner Estuary of the Gulf of Guayaquil, in order to provide feedback on the engagement process conducted by the University. It is concluded that students participating in community engagement processes must facilitate a dialogue of knowledge based on cognitive respect that allows them to break down the dominant structures that characterize the relationship between academic and community knowledge.
