This article is the result of a research work that is in process of development and makes special emphasis on the state of the art and the theories that support it, taking into account the philosophy of Andean thought of indigenous peoples. Its objective is to determine how the ancestral planting of the reed (Gynerium Sagittatum) and the weaving of baskets, contributes to environmental education in the children of the indigenous community Quillasinga de Jenoy and from there to contribute to the care of mother earth, especially the care of water. For this purpose, techniques such as direct observation, conversation and minga of thought supported by oral tradition, whose characteristics are part of the community's customs, are used.

In this way, it is expected that the results of this work will make it possible to contribute to environmental education taking into account the cultural identity of the community, starting from early ages as in the case of the children of the Genoy cabildo and in this sense to rescue the knowledge possessed by the elders as well as their experiences throughout life, so that the relationship of man with mother earth and everything that lives around him is mediated by harmonization under the principles of reciprocity and complementarity as expressed by some theoreticians.

Caracterización de la innovación de procesos en treinta y nueve nodos productivos sostenibles en el municipio de Pasto, Colombia

David Steven Egas Benavides — Mon, 23 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The Chimayoy Environmental Center is a place
that has a significant value in the territory, this
is evidenced by the high number of visitors, its
proximity to the capital of the department of Nariño,
and its special environmental characteristics,
which favor the development of recreational,
sports and cultural, which makes this place very
valuable for healthy recreation, conservation, and
environmental protection. The purpose of this
work is to determine the economic valuation of
environmental benefits from the consumer surplus
or benefit obtained by visitors and their willingness
to pay for the perceived environmental benefits,
which results in a value of $3,344. To obtain this
value, the Contingent Valuation and Trip Cost
Method was applied. The study developed helps
to manage a strategic natural space for the citizens
of Pasto and its area of influence, which in turn
provides information for subsequent applications
of the cost benefit analysis and is also useful when
defining the relevance or Not implementing certain
actions, plans and policies that may negatively affect
spaces that provide ecosystem and environmental
services.

semi-structured interview is used; In the research with
the students, a didactic sequence based on the IEP is
designed and to evaluate the changes in attitude, the
Guttman scale is applied. At the beginning, the students
conceive that the water is contaminated with solid waste.
They state that there is an incipient culture for the care
of the environment due to ignorance of the dynamics
of its operation, reflected in satisfying economic needs
with the ecological services of the environment, as a
priority, instead of conserving them. After applying the
IEP, they conclude that anthropogenic actions are the
cause of negative affectation of water. Individual and
collective actions in wastewater treatment stand out, as
a way of protecting the environment, recognizing the
interconnection between water quality, ecosystem, and
human health. However, they show a medium personal
disposition to participate in the environmental awareness
of the community

La dimensión ambiental en el programa de Ingeniería en Producción Acuícola, universidad de Nariño.

Engineering (APE) program at the University of Nariño.
To achieve this, documentary analysis, interviews, and
knowledge tests were conducted with teachers and
students of the APE program. This research was conducted
as a case study, under the qualitative paradigm, with
an interpretative approach. The findings show that the
program documents are directed towards aspects related
to sustainable development in their vision and mission.
However, this is not reflected in their competencies or
micro-curricula. On the other hand, both teachers and
students express their conception of the environment
as the surroundings, everything that surrounds us, and
as biotic and abiotic aspects. It is concluded that there
is a lack of articulation and coherence between the
educational proposal and its development regarding the
environmental dimension. Additionally, both teachers
and students frame their knowledge from a naturalistic
perspective of the environment.

La Conservación de la Biodiversidad Versus la Realidad de las Unidades de Manejo de Fauna Silvestre del Ecuador

Mon, 23 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Zoos number over 10,000 worldwide and are visited by millions of people each year. Their primary focus remains on exhibition and recreation, with limited knowledge about their specific roles in wildlife management and the crucial role of environmental education in biodiversity conservation. This research aimed to assess the current state of Environmental Education in wildlife management units in Ecuador. It was conducted from 2017 to 2020 using a qualitative-quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional, descriptive, bibliographic, and documentary approach. Information interviews and surveys were used, with the sample size determined from the records provided by the Ministry of the Environment (MATE). Participants included owners, administrators, and supervisors of 49 out of the 75 registered centers in that year. Cross-tabulated tables and complex data graphs were created. The findings revealed that zoos are positioned as centers for wildlife protection, conservation, education, and research, with a focus on recreation. Other units have limited involvement in environmental education, indicating the need for more work to establish secure habitats for species, respect their rights, and raise awareness among visitors about the importance of preserving habitats, territories, and wild species' living areas without human intervention through educational activities and programs.

Estrategias didácticas para el desarrollo de la comunicación verbal en inglés en los estudiantes de grado tercero del instituto champagnat de Pasto

Jenny Patricia Narváez Cerón — Mon, 23 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Being competent in the 21st century demands quality education that prepares children and young people as global citizens capable of responding to challenges of life, in different areas.

Instituto Champagnat in Pasto, aware of the need to learn English, consistent with the directions of the Ministry of National Education, has begun a path towards a bilingual school.

Learning a language is based on oral communication so it is important to recreate communicative situations where students listen and speak in English to foster an authentic and meaningful environment. To maximize class time in conversational activities, the present research oriented by the mixed research paradigm guidelines and the action participatory research carried out with third graders does not only propose the selection and use of efficient teaching strategies that contribute to the development of communication skills, according to their level and age gradually, but also to design and implement educational activities and materials that promote their development according to students’ needs and characteristics and subsequently, evaluate their effectiveness. The international Starters exam was used in the diagnosis and videos, recordings, photos and interviews were used for the gathering information process.

What are the teaching strategies that enhance the development of verbal communication skills in English? These are strategies related to dialogues, videos, creation use and presentation of mini-books about different communicative situations, song festival, prayer of the morning and activities to care for the planet like water campaigns, protest messages, training and presentations in the school and in a congress about reducing, reusing, recycling and garbage classification, promoting interdisciplinarity in English teaching, motivating the Project-Based Learning work “EcoMarists, protectors of our common home.”

Incidencia de las redes sociales en el pensamiento crítico en estudiantes de educación superior

Mon, 23 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Social networks raise questions about how these platforms affect the way of thinking and acting of millions of people who are part of these digital communities. In the academic spaces of higher education, it is observed that the amount of information, entertainment and new forms of communication are widely used by students, teachers, managers and administrators.

This research article is framed in a documentary review focused on the categories of social networks and critical thinking. Its purpose is to serve as a source of consultation and analysis to determine whether social networks positively or negatively impact the critical and reflective thinking of university students, facilitating their academic and professional development to analyze, evaluate and synthesize information in a reflective and deliberate manner.

The research was based on the search for sources such as books, essays and articles that address critical thinking and social networks in university contexts. Aspects were evident such as: a) limitations in the development of critical thinking in students and the importance of the teacher as a guide; b) essential characteristics of critical thinking such as self-discipline and analysis; c) the initial and ongoing impact of social networks in university environments.

The results highlight the need for teachers to implement specific and effective guidelines for students to critically use information from social networks, thereby improving their critical thinking skills, promoting academic integrity and ethical development. The documentary review concludes that social networks have a significant impact on the critical thinking of higher education students, with both positive and negative effects. Although they facilitate quick access to diverse information and encourage critical reflection, information overload and difficulty discerning reliable sources can limit robust critical thinking.
