SALAZAR ARMIJOS, Diego Ricardo et al. Information and communication technologies to strengthen the learning of Tsa'fiki in Tsa'chilas Educational Units. Universidad y Sociedad [online]. 2019, vol.11, n.5, pp. 162-170.  Epub Dec 02, 2019. ISSN 2218-3620.

The preservation of the historical memory of a native language is essential to maintain the identity of indigenous peoples and to preserve ancestral knowledge, as well as other aspects that derive in the economy such, that generates the tsa'chila culture in Santo Domingo - Ecuador. However, there are few teaching tools in tsa'fiki (tsa’chila language), which makes it difficult to learn the language in the bilingual students of the tsa'chilas educational units, which causes the language to be lost, and therefore the cultural identity of this nationality. Thus, the objective of this work is to offer an alternative, for the conservation of tsa'fiki through Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), observing the precepts of the tsa'chila cultural worldview, in such a way that natives can naturally assimilate the proposed technology and therefore to motivate others to learn their language. Methodologically, first an analysis of the cultural and learning aspects of the tsa'fiki that must be taken into account to implement the technological solution was made, then an evaluation of technological components was carried out to implement the solution, the prototypes were built, finally, the satisfaction of the solution was verified, inducing that ICT contribute to the learning of tsa'fiki
