Evaluación de la separación y recolección selectiva de residuos en la fuente desde las guías GTC 24 y GTC 86 y su aprovechamiento en el emprendimiento ambiental en niños y niñas de Villavicencio

Abstract

This work is developed using the methodological research-action tool defined by Colmenares as the "heuristic instrument to study educational reality, improve its understanding and at the same time achieve its transformation" with the aim of evaluating the impact of the selective separation of plastics in the source from the GTC 24 and GTC 86 guides and their use in the environmental entrepreneurship of children and young people of the social projection center of the Santo Tomás University (USTA) in the community of Villavicencio. The research proposal presents educational strategies to effectively and efficiently manage the solid waste generated at the source, and contribute to the reduction of the current ecological footprint through a change in the methods of consumption and use of goods and resources of origin inorganic, such as: plastics, cardboard, glass, metal, etc. Likewise, materials and experiences are incorporated in situ through the socialization of the ICONTEC Technical Guides (GTC 24 and GTC 86), which promote and strengthen a set of practice, knowledge and knowledge necessary to carry out the appropriate selection and separation and likewise, adopt a more sustainable society and with it, respond ethically, creatively and critically to the demands of human life with an ethical conscience inspired by the Christian humanist thought of Saint Thomas. Finally, children and youth experienced the set of knowledge and skills acquired during the project to carry out an adequate separation of solid waste. Likewise, it is evident that the population understands the relationships with their environment, giving solutions, value and respect for the environment and appropriating entrepreneurship opportunities when the waste generated at home is reused, becoming raw material for its new elaboration, that is to say, beginning a new life cycle achieving timely recycling.
