La evaluación se llevó a cabo con un instrumento que permitía conocer el tipo de información encontrada en los libros de texto, utilizando la técnica Delphi con ayuda de expertos en la materia, se obtuvo así la cantidad y tipo de contenidos incluidos. La investigación detectó una falta de información sobre esta manifestación cultural en los textos para maestros, padres de familia y alumnos de primaria, lo que implica una deficiente transmisión de este elemento cultural. 2016-05-02 2021-06-03T03:04:59Z 2021-06-03T03:04:59Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://redie.uabc.mx/index.php/redie/article/view/612 https://repositorioinstitucional.uabc.mx/handle/20.500.12930/6142 #PLACEHOLDER_PARENT_METADATA_VALUE# #PLACEHOLDER_PARENT_METADATA_VALUE# https://redie.uabc.mx/index.php/redie/article/view/612/1437 https://redie.uabc.mx/index.php/redie/article/view/612/1451 none text/html application/pdf REDIE es una publicación del Instituto de Investigación y Desarrollo Educativo (IIDE).
