Fortalecimiento de las competencias científicas de los estudiantes de primaria del centro educativo rural Buenavista, sede Sinuga a partir del análisis de las adaptaciones morfológicas de las plantas del entorno

Abstract

The research study originated from the difficulties encountered by the vast majority of students in identifying and understanding the morphological characteristics of the plants in their environment, which limits their ability to relate school knowledge to their daily lives, develop scientific skills, and appropriate the environment as a learning space. Therefore, this study aimed to strengthen the procedural scientific skills of multigrade students at the Sinuga campus of the Buenavista Rural Educational Center, specifically in the identification and analysis of the morphological adaptations of plants in their environment, through the use of the rural environment as a pedagogical resource. The methodology used in the project was mixed and descriptive, for which the instruments used were a pre-test and post-test questionnaire for multigrade students and an interview guide for the teacher in charge of the group. The quantitative data were analyzed using the t-test, and the perspectives given by the teacher in the interview were described. The findings indicated that the pedagogical strategy implemented had a significant impact on the students, which was determined by the t-test, as the difference between the pre-test (2.10) and post-test (4.77) means was statistically significant, with a t-value (8)=52.04<0.05, which means that significant learning was evident with the application of field trips and experiential learning, allowing theory to be related to practice.
