Competencias ciudadanas: Ejes presentes en el sector estudiantil Colombiano

This research aimed to analyze the axes of citizen competencies, in a selected Colombian student sector by the behavioral characteristics expressed by them in the institution where they study. Theoretically, it was based on approaches on citizen competences of Chaux, Lleras and Velazquez (2012), Mockus (2012), Tedesco, Opertti and Amadio (2013), as well as the policies established by the Ministry of National Education (2005), still valid for the purposes of this work. The paradigmatic context was quantitative positivist, the research was descriptive, with non-experimental, field design. The population sample was twenty-one (21) high school students from the Beatriz Gutierrez de Vives District Educational Institution. A census and a survey observation technique was applied using a scalar instrument with response alternatives: Always, Almost Always, Almost Never and Never, validated by five experts and with a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.86. It is evident that the axes of citizen competencies have a high presence in the selected Colombian student sector, however, some actions are proposed to improve some details observed during the study, with which it is possible to implement a process of citizen coexistence to optimize interpersonal relationships between students in the educational institution, since there they spend a part of their daily time together.
