Description
Summary:The main objectives of this investigation were to elaborate the concept of associative skills, and to design and apply a methodology to calculate their level of capacity. The construction of a concept of associative capacities and the design of a methodology to calculate the levels of these capacities have been the main reason for this study, which took the Tsachila ethnic group as the unit of analysis. This indigenous group is based in the canton of Santo Domingo in Ecuador, and has economic, organizational, educational and cultural limitations that put at risk their survival as an ethnic group. The construction of a concept of associative capacities and the design of a methodology to calculate the levels of these capacities have been the main reason for this study, which took the Tsachila ethnic group as the unit of analysis.
