Andean values, Yachay, Munay, Llank'ay and Ayni as paradigms of academic training at the Andean University of Cusco

Abstract

The Andean values ​​of Yachay, Munay, Llank'ay, and Ayni represent fundamental pillars of an ancestral worldview that, when integrated into academic training, strengthen cultural identity, promote ethical and collaborative education, and offer an intercultural model that balances scientific knowledge with knowledge. In this regard, the main objective of this study was to analyze how these Andean values ​​contribute to the current paradigms of academic training at the Andean University of Cusco. To this end, a descriptive and exploratory qualitative methodology was employed, utilizing the documentary review technique, in which several research and scientific articles related to the topic of study were reviewed. In this sense, the results were obtained based on those conducted prior to this article. The results show that these Andean principles are not limited to symbolic elements, but are manifested in concrete practices of collaboration, organization of academic work, and the construction of interpersonal relationships. Its incorporation favors the development of transversal skills such as teamwork, shared decision-making, and co-responsibility in learning processes.
