| Description: | The purpose of this research was to identify the perception that the Salvadorean population has on the archaeological cultural heritage of the country in order to design an awareness program to address the findings. In this sense, a two phase design was implemented: The first phase presented a descriptive-exploratory research design based on the competencies taught in the subject of National Salvadorean History (Realidad Nacional), as part of the curricula of Universidad Tecnológica de El Salvador (UTEC, given its Spanish acronym), and which provided the necessary information to design the items that would be researched upon A baseline was structured through a cluster sampling applied to a student population of 320 individuals; this served as evidence of the lack of knowledge and interest people have shown towards the national cultural heritage.
