Estrategias de enseñanza para promover la conservación y el cuidado de los páramos en Susa Cundinamarca con la Escuela del Tablón

Abstract

This summary corresponds to the undergraduate project submitted to obtain the Bachelor of Science in Biology degree from Santo Tomás University. The proposal stems from the need to educate students and the rural population of the municipality of Susa, Cundinamarca, with strategies for the conservation of the Páramo del Guerrero (Guerrero páramo), since many people live in this environment but do not know how to care for it, and almost 100% of the population is unfamiliar with the most important concepts and names that characterize the páramo. Several meetings were held with students from the Tablón rural school, and various learning strategies were implemented, ranging from theoretical to practical, with the objective of ensuring learning through scientific thinking, group work, and the development of artistic and practical skills. The project's overall objective is to evaluate the impact of a learning strategy to promote the conservation and care of páramos through environmental education with students from preschool to fifth grade at the Tablón rural school in the municipality of Susa, Cundinamarca. To achieve this goal, three general objectives were established. The first objective is to identify the existing knowledge about the conservation and care of the páramos (high-altitude Andean ecosystems) among the residents of the municipality of Susa and at the school in the rural community of El Tablón. The second objective is to design a learning strategy so that students learn about important topics related to the conservation and care of the páramos. The final objective is to implement a learning strategy for the students of the rural school in El Tablón regarding the conservation and care of the páramos.
