Tierra y comunidad. estrategia para la sostenibilidad agrícola y la transformación socioeducativa.

Abstract

This presentation aims to evaluate a Learning Object (LO) as an interactive pedagogical tool intended to positively impact the awareness of the rural population, seeking to transform traditional agricultural practices through education and the natural sciences. Formal education systems fail to effectively reach the rural population in general. The basic learning standards developed for the school-aged population, which corresponds to children and adolescents, lack the necessary educational, social, and cultural scope for the transformation of environmental awareness, which is both necessary and urgent in the face of current environmental deterioration and damage. This highlights the pressing need to create innovative and inclusive technological tools that lead to meaningful learning in a specific rural context: the El Diamante village in the municipality of Venecia, Cundinamarca. The proposal is based on a participatory action research (PAR) design, with a mixed approach combining qualitative and quantitative elements, and aims for transformation through the application of the OVA in the population of the El Diamante village in the Municipality of Venecia, Cundinamarca, is mostly populated by farmers who cultivate and develop a variety of crops, including beans, coffee, and bananas. A characterization form is being administered to local leaders of the Community Action Board (JAC) as a data collection tool to gather information on the following dimensions: population, social (educational), cultural, and environmental (agricultural practices).
