Reconocimiento transdisciplinar de biodiversidad endémica basado en pensamiento STEM en zonas de transición ecológica: APP_ECO-FAUNA GAZADUJE “App educativa para reconocer y conservar la fauna endémica del Pie de Monte Llanero”.

Abstract

This project aims to foster critical and scientific thinking in high school students at the Rural Departmental Educational Institution Gazaduje, Medina, Cundinamarca, through the recognition of endemic fauna in ecological transition zones of the piedmont plains (montane forest - savanna), In response to problems arising from the lack of knowledge and appreciation of the natural environment, a pedagogical strategy based on the STEM approach (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) is proposed, integrating conceptualization and curricular contents with the ecological reality of the territory, the methodology includes the design of transdisciplinary activities, development of didactic materials, and use of technologies for data collection and analysis, seeking for students to develop investigative, observation, analysis and local action competencies. The project articulates educational innovation with rural context, expecting to generate positive impact on environmental awareness and strengthen meaningful learning. As a result, a learning strategy (didactic guides and STEM field book) will be designed that can be replicated in institutions located in areas of high ecological diversity, contributing to the strengthening of environmental education in rural contexts.
