<h4 class="text-primary">Resumen</h4><p style="text-align: justify;">El presente estudio se realizó porque los estudiantes manifestaban vergüenza consumir alimentos andinos en la institución educativa, por tanto la importancia de la investigación reside en el fortalecimiento de la actitud identitaria a través de las prácticas del quqawi (merienda). Para ello se organizó una vez por semana dicha práctica, entre estudiantes y docentes, lo que permitió revalorar lo ancestralmente suyos lográndose la resocialización de los mismos. Según Llanque (1990), el respeto es reconocer aparte de su posición social, se respeta mucho a las personas de mayor edad, ancianos porque son depositarios del saber comunal. El objetivo del estudio fue determinar que la práctica del quqawi fortalece la actitud identitaria de los estudiantes del cuarto grado de la Institución Educativa Secundaria Aimara de la ciudad de Ácora. Se utilizó la técnica de la observación, la encuesta y como instrumentos la fichas de observación, cuestionario y escala de Likert e instrumentos auxiliares las fotografías, a partir de mayo a noviembre. La investigación corresponde al tipo mixto cuya población es de 115 estudiantes y se aplicó el muestreo estratificado. En consecuencia se llegó a los siguientes resultados el 63% de los estudiantes comparten el quqawi como una práctica natural en los distintos espacios; mientras el 23% se muestran indiferentes, por otro lado el 9% no aceptan y el 6% no consume lo andino. Esto significa que la práctica del quqawi si fortalece la actitud identitaria de los estudiantes como una vivencia natural y común, sin embargo aún existen formas de resistencia.</p><p><strong>PALABRAS CLAVE: </strong>* Actitud * andinos * identitaria * merienda * valores</p><h4 class="text-primary">ABSTRACT</h4><p><strong>THE PRACTICE OF TRADITIONAL COMMUNAL MEALS «QUQAWI» AND IDENTITY OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AT AIMARA HIGH SCHOOL OF ACORA - PUNO, PERU</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The present study was undertaken because students expressed shame to eat traditional Andean food in school, so the importance of the research lies in strengthening the identity through practicing «quqawi». The practice was organized once a week, between students and teachers, allowing them to reassess their ancestral identity, and achieve resocialization. According to Llanque (1990), respect is recognized as separate from ones socio/economic position, traditionally the elders and elderly are very respected because they are repositories of communal knowledge. The aim of the study was to determine if the practice of «quqawi» strengthens identity of fourth year Aimara high school students in the city of Acora. Using observation techniques, an observation questionnaire form and the Likert scale. We also used photographs from May to November as auxiliary instruments. The research is mixed corresponding to a population of 115 students with applied stratified sampling. The following results were reached: 63% of the students share «quqawi» as a natural practice in different spaces; while 23% are indifferent, 9% would not participate and 6% do not consume Andean food. This means that the practice of «quqawi» strengthens identity of students as a normal and common experience, however there are still forms of resistance to this.</p><p><strong>KEY WORDS: </strong>* cultural * Andean * identity * aimara * tradition * values</p>
