Fortalecimiento de la educación ambiental en los estudiantes del grado transición de la Institución Educativa Nuestra Señora de Chiquinquirá a través de la implementación de actividades lúdico-pedagógicas.

Abstract

In this work, we sought to strengthen environmental education in transitional students through playful-pedagogical activities. An interpretive approach was assumed and pedagogical action research was selected as the method, in which 26 key transition students from Carlos Pérez Escalante Educational Institution, Nuestra Señora de Chiquinquirá headquarters, were selected, of which 5 were systematically selected for the realization of a qualitative data analysis in which the categorization and coding procedure was implemented to ensure quality and specific results. Semistructured interviews and field diaries were used as data collection techniques. The results show that the research was realistic and achievable, and also had acceptance and support from the stakeholders involved. Additionally, the implementation of the proposal "Let's Take Care of the Planet: I am an Environmental Hero!" had a positive influence, as it managed to generate changes in habits and attitudes and foster empathy towards the challenges faced by the environment, recognizing the importance of taking measures to address them. Finally, an environmental sensitivity was developed, forging an emotional connection with the planet and making a commitment that is expected to be long-lasting and implemented not only in the institution but also in their homes.
