Apropiación Social del Conocimiento en Tecnologías de monitoreo ambiental en estudiantes de la Institución Educativa Comuneros.

Abstract

The process of social appropriation of knowledge at the Comuneros Educational Institution was developed using the STEAM methodology, integrating practical and collaborative activities with the participation of 58 ninth grade students. This approach allowed students to acquire technical skills in electronics, programming and automation, linking their learning to real problems in their environment. The process involved the active integration of key actors: students, teachers and the university community. The laboratories of the Santo Tomás University facilitated an advanced learning environment where students developed technological solutions applied to social problems, such as automation and accessibility. This approach fostered the socialization of knowledge by providing equal access to technological resources and high-quality training environments, empowering students with technical competencies and practical skills. The diversity in gender, origin and socioeconomic level of the participants ensured an inclusive and enriching approach, promoting cultural exchange and teamwork. This process culminated in a showcase of innovative projects, highlighting the impact of technology as a tool for community transformation.
