Abstract
This study seeks to analyze, by means of a non-experimental, descriptive research, based on the Modified Natural Semantic Networks technique and the Importance-Frequency Method, the conceptions of Peace and Democracy of 180 future child educators studying in the Bachelor of Education program at the University of Magdalena, selected non-probabilistically by convenience. The results show that their conception of Peace is based on the words: Love and Tranquility, and of Democracy on the defining words: Equality, Rights and Participation, a fact that indicates a distancing from the theoretical framework linked to these constructs. Finally, we are invited to question the role of future early childhood educators in the construction of peace and democracy.
