Culture of Peace, Conflict Resolution, Teacher TrainingAbstract
The study aimed to analyses the perception of the culture of peace among future teachers. It was conducted using a qualitative approach, using a questionnaire and analyzing open-ended responses from undergraduate education and pedagogy students at the Pedagogical University of the State of Sinaloa. The findings show that 85.8% of the participants do not have prior encounters with culture of peace, suggesting a lack in their training about the content. However, when experiences were acknowledged, they reflected communication, inclusivity, peaceful conflict resolution and respect for diversity. In the discursive space between values discourse and practices in teacher education, a gap was also identified. The research concludes that it is required to reinforce the teaching of culture of peace in training teachers through didactic strategies for its implementation in school. Future research is recommended on the integration of a culture of peace and service-learning into curricula, as well as evaluating the impact of peace culture training on school coexistence and student well-being.
