Ítem Entre lo urbano y lo rural : interpretación de las expresiones valorativas de las mujeres participantes en las huertas urbanas comunitarias de la Red de Agricultores Urbanos y el Cabildo Indígena Muisca de la localidad de Bosa en el periodo 2020-2024(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Tegua Bernal , Lina Jaqueline; Villamil Puentes , Jorge EliecerThis research presents the role of women in community urban gardens in the locality of Bosa, interpreting the expressions that emerge within these spaces of social interaction. Everyday activities such as planting, harvesting, and producing food are imbued with symbolism and meaning. These actions reflect each woman’s perspective, expressed through the participatory and interpretive methodology of Photo-Voice. The objective is to interpret the value expressions of women participating in the community urban gardens of the Network of Urban Farmers and the Muisca Indigenous Council in Bosa. The concept of “values” has been widely debated, with multiple definitions proposed; however, this research interprets value from its function within the context of community urban gardens from the women’s perspective. The actions carried out in these spaces reveal environmental, social, educational, economic, political, and subjective dimensions. This poses challenges for environmental education, particularly regarding the reconciliation of different perspectives and values in the relationship between society and nature. The theoretical framework of value expressions goes beyond a merely axiological approach, understanding that values emerge through evaluative functions—where value is determined by its utility according to its complement and argument. According to Echeverría (2002), this approach integrates philosophy and mathematics, recognizing that human activity is guided by diverse systems of values: basic, epistemic, technical, economic, ecological, political, legal, social, moral, military, religious, and aesthetic. These systems acquire concrete meaning only when applied to specific actions—that is, through the act of valuing. Rather than conceiving values solely through axiology (the study of values) or ontology (the study of being), this perspective treats them as functions, where meaning arises only when the notion of value is assigned. The research follows a qualitative, interpretive approach. Participants captured photographs representing their interaction with and appreciation of the gardens. The theoretical framework establishes a solid foundation connecting Photo-Voice and the value expressions of women in community urban gardens. It reveals how women value and experience these spaces, thereby contributing to academic discussions and recommendations on urban agriculture from an environmental education perspective. The findings highlight women’s perceptions and evaluations of the gardens, as well as the symbolic and practical role of daily activities. This contributes to a theoretical understanding of values in urban contexts and underscores the importance of considering women’s voices and experiences in urban planning and in promoting urban agriculture as a strategy for continuous relationship and interaction.Ítem Concepciones de educación ambiental y prácticas pedagógicas : estudio de caso en la Institución Educativa Antonio Nariño, Corregimiento Coello Cócora de Ibagué (Tolima)(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Garzón Aya, Luisa María; Castillo Ordoñez , Elsy YanethThis study focused on exploring the various conceptions of environmental education among teachers working at the Antonio Nariño Educational Institution in the township of Coello Cocora in Ibagué-Tolima. This research sought to understand how these conceptions influence the educational process of students in the field of environmental education. In addition, it sought to understand the conceptual perspectives of environmental education among teachers at the educational institution and the impact on their teaching practices. To achieve the proposed objective, a mixed sequential approach with a comprehensive descriptive scope was used, employing the case study method. This allowed for a detailed and in-depth view of the teachers' conceptions of environmental education and their impact on student training in the rural context. It was expected that a diversity of conceptions of environmental education would be identified among teachers in the rural area studied. It was also anticipated that an understanding of how these conceptions influence teaching practices would be gained. These findings provided important inputs for the design of contextualized and relevant environmental education strategies in similar rural settings.Ítem Representaciones sociales del ambiente en proyectos de inversión de educación ambiental de la Secretaría Distrital de Ambiente (2008 – 2024) Bogotá D.C.(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Cárdenas Espinosa , Francy Johana; Daza Ardila, Diana del Socorro; Daza Ardila, Diana del Socorro [0000-0002-6043-2230]This research analyzed the Social Representations of Environment (SRE) present in the Environmental Education Investment Projects (EEIP) developed by the District Secretariat for the Environment (DSE), specifically within the Office for Participation, Education, and Localities (OPEL), between 2008 and 2024 in Bogotá D.C. Methodologically, the study was conducted within an interpretative paradigm, adopting a qualitative and documentary approach. A qualitative content analysis was carried out to identify the SRE embedded in the EEIP documents, complemented by axial coding, which enabled the establishment of connections among the identified representations. Additionally, an executive summary was prepared to synthesize and disseminate the findings. The study was grounded in the theory of Social Representations of Environment, which provides insight into how groups construct and share ideas, concepts, and perceptions about the environment. This theoretical lens is essential, as the representations directly influence the implementation of EEIPs within the context of environmental education and management. The results revealed a predominance of SRE in which the environment is conceptualized as a community project that prioritizes participatory engagement. Another prominent representation views the environment as a system, emphasizing the interplay between social and environmental relations and institutional interconnections. To a lesser extent, the environment was also represented as the biosphere, focusing on biotic and abiotic components of the planet. These findings underscore the need to incorporate global representations of the environment within these projects. It is recommended that future EEIPs consider the diversity of SRE in their strategies, fostering the inclusion of local perspectives to promote a more holistic approach to environmental education.Ítem Tipos de representaciones de ambiente presentes en trabajos de grado de la Especialización en Educación y Gestión Ambiental: 25 años de investigación en educación y gestión ambiental (1999-2023)(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de caldas) Rodríguez Villegas, Sandra Julieth; Castillo Ordóñez , Elsy Yanethnvironmental education has become a fundamental pillar in a world facing increasingly complex and urgent environmental challenges. The habits and lifestyles of different social groups have contributed to the accelerated deterioration of the environment. In this context, the Specialization in Environmental Education and Management (EEGA) was a national benchmark, contributing to the knowledge and understanding of environmental challenges and how they can be addressed. This was due to the rigor and innovation of its educational project, which incorporated environmental complexity as a central focus, uniting two lines of knowledge—environmental education and environmental management—and its high research output. In this sense, it is relevant to analyze the undergraduate works in environmental education at EEGA, in order to characterize the types of representations of the environment, which are a combination of knowledge, theory, beliefs and attitudes that arise in the scientific discourse of researchers in environmental education who trace the conceptual and methodological routes, address problem questions and offer intervention strategies. In order to achieve the objective, a methodology was established from the qualitative interpretive perspective, in this case, it seeks to give meaning and interpret the terms of an environmental nature, found from the content analysis in the summaries of the degree works with emphasis on environmental education, The unit of observation is made up of (61) degree works in research in environmental education of the Specialization in Education and Environmental Management. The content analysis of EEGA undergraduate theses in environmental education allows us to understand the types of environmental representations that predominate in environmental education research, and contributes to the debate on the training of researchers in environmental education and management, so that informed curricular decisions can be made.Ítem Participación ciudadana y manejo de residuos sólidos en la gestión ambiental del Distrito Capital para la descontaminación del río Bogotá, periodo 2016-2024(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Perlaza Berrio, Lilia Alejandra; González Melo, Hamlet SantiagoThis research analyzes the role of citizen participation in solid waste management within the framework of Bogotá’s District Development Plans (PDD) between 2016 and 2024, in response to the directives established by Council of State Ruling 25000-23-27-000-2001-0479-01 of 2014, aimed at the decontamination of the Bogotá River. Through a qualitative approach and content analysis, the study examined the PDDs, management reports from the District Secretariat of Environment, and the judicial ruling, using Atlas.ti software to identify the coherence and scope of citizen participation strategies in promoting integrated waste management and contributing to the river’s restoration. The results reveal advances in environmental education, recycling practices, and social co-responsibility; however, challenges persist regarding effective citizen influence in the planning, evaluation, and monitoring phases of environmental management. The study concludes that citizen participation is essential for transforming environmental practices; nevertheless, its consolidation requires inclusive, binding, and coherent mechanisms that align institutional policies with the social dynamics of the territory.Ítem Plásticos de un solo uso, relaciones de poder entre ambiente, economía y la política ambiental implícita 2019-2022(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Moscoso Villa, Carolina; Giraldo Quintero , GustavoPollution caused by single-use plastics has become a global problem, affecting every corner of the world with the massive accumulation of this type of waste in different ecosystems, especially in bodies of water, causing serious environmental, social, and economic impacts. Scientific evidence indicates that this material does not decompose, but rather fragments over time into increasingly smaller particles, known as microplastics and nanoplastics. Colombia is not exempt from this problem, as it faces increasing pollution in its coastal areas, both in the Pacific and the Caribbean, affecting both the fishing and tourism sectors. In Colombia, government efforts to mitigate pollution through public policies and regulations have been insufficient. Despite their formulation, these measures have not generated effective results due to weak implementation and a lack of commitment from the public and private sectors. The solution requires joint action by the State, society, and the educational system to achieve true environmental change (Hernández, 2017). This research seeks to establish power relations through the analysis of value systems and thus identify prioritized interests in the implicit environmental policy surrounding single-use plastics. The research methodology uses a qualitative approach that incorporates elements of the socio-critical paradigm with a hermeneutic approach. This approach is based on the content analysis of implicit environmental policies such as the National Plan for the Sustainable Management of Single-Use Plastics and Law No. 2232 of 2022, identifying the multiple assessments contained within the textual corpus.Ítem Aportes ténico políticos para la construcción de un instrumento de gestión en educación ambiental como política pública en el municipio de Viota, Cundinamarca(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Ruge Forigua, Luis Alfredo; Castillo Ordoñez, Elsy YanethIn Colombia, environmental education has been developing for several decades through documents such as the 2002 National Environmental Education Policy, which ratifies its interest in territorial implementation with Law 1549 of 2012. However, at the departmental and municipal levels, there is a lack of management and implementation of the instruments of the Public Policy on Environmental Education (PPEA), which leads to a lag in education. Consequently, the objective of this research is to generate contributions in the technical field, which requires elements specific to the environmental, educational, and EA fields that account for the current diagnosis that leads to the need to promote public policies for the solution of educational-environmental issues in Viotá from a critical reading of this context. Based on the above, reviews the documents and analyzes the content of these instruments, using a qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive documentary methodology. It reviews documents related to territorial, departmental, and municipal planning, as well as environmental education policy regulations implemented between 2000 and 2024, and georeferencing bases. Initially, a lag in the development of PP instruments is identified, with an absence of more than 50% in the national and departmental contexts. Likewise, the need for environmental education (EA) that responds to the administrative sphere, the support of environmental entities, and planning documents such as land use planning is established. Therefore, a solution to what could be called an environmental and educational-environmental crisis, specifically in municipal contexts, would be the formulation of local or municipal public policy tools for environmental education that are consolidated into instruments that facilitate environmental education management, in accordance with particular needs, historical contexts, environmental issues, and territorial dynamics. From a political perspective, based on municipal development conditions, a path is proposed to define what is best for this municipality in terms of a local environmental education policy that responds to how to generate these instruments based on elements of different orders, such as regulatory, methodological, contextual, and conceptual. This is based on a process that allows the Inter-institutional Committee for Environmental Education (CIDEA) to develop a public policy instrument and its legitimization for implementation in the municipalities. In short, this study contributes to the identification of gaps in the dissemination of the National Environmental Education Policy in the local context of Viotá, and contributes with a proposal for the management of such policies based on conceptual, contextual, and methodological elements that can be replicated in similar contexts.Ítem Corrientes en educación ambiental en tesis de maestría y doctorado en tres universidades (Uninorte de la costa y Amazonía) de Colombia 2010-2020(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Coque Infante, Ivette; González Melo , Hamlet SantiagoThis research focused on analyzing the predominant currents in environmental education through the review of master's and doctoral theses conducted at three Colombian universities—Uninorte, de la Costa, and Amazonia—during the period 2010–2020. The problem investigated lay in the lack of agreement and clarity regarding the environmental currents used in graduate programs. EArte seeks to identify and select existing theses that focus on the relationship between the educational process and environmental issues, and this thesis aims to contribute to this objective. This is because each current not only presents a precise definition but also diversifies its objectives, content, and application purposes. In other words, the coexistence of multiple currents within this context is based on their own theoretical, philosophical, political, ethical, and pedagogical principles, which contributes to this lack of consensus on which are being applied in research. This situation therefore has the potential to generate confusion and challenges in educational implementation, as well as in the development of educational strategies and initiatives in the environmental field. Furthermore, inconsistencies between different currents can lead to disputes and inconsistencies, complicating the task of incorporating and cooperating with diverse approaches to environmental education. To this end, the general objective was to analyze the currents in environmental education reflected in these theses, with specific objectives that included recognizing the currents present, compiling the degree theses, and examining the research based on pre-established theoretical frameworks. The theoretical framework was based on the work of Sauvé (2005), which provided a conceptual structure for categorizing and understanding currents in environmental education. The methodology employed was qualitative, using content analysis, derived from the systematic review using the EArte (State of the Art) methodology, which allowed for a comprehensive and updated analysis of the state of knowledge related to environmental approaches and perspectives used in the educational field at the master's and doctoral levels.Ítem Análisis de los aportes desde la praxis transformadora de los movimientos sociales y políticos al campo ambiental y a los procesos de educación ambiental: Experiencia del Centro Oriente de Colombia(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Báez Vega, Julián Augusto; González Melo, Hamlet SantiagoEnvironmental education does not have a single approach from which it is conceived, in the same way does not have the concept of environment, this is how many authors, organizations and institutional entities have multiple ways of understanding them, so actions are acted and executed from different perspectives, that is, there is no homogeneity between theory and action in environmental education processes. On the other hand, the social and political movement has been working and fighting to position itself as an important actor in these debates, a collective actor that has been key from the beginning in the local and global opening of the approach to environmental education and that today contributes to the deepening of these processes as real mechanisms of transformation.(Acuña, 2007) This research aims to locate the contributions of the social and political movement towards the environmental field and to the processes of environmental education from the transformative praxis, this as an approach to reading and transforming the reality of society, where from the dialectic between theory and practice it acts as processes in the organization and mobilization of communities.(Centro de pensamiento y teoria crítica Praxis, 2021a) To analyze these contributions, the case study will be the Movimiento Politico de Masas Social y Popular del Centro Oriente de Colombia, and specifically the social processes present in the departments of Meta, Casanare and Arauca, a region so called by the social organizations due to the geographical and economic continuity and territorial presence of the processes that are part of the movement. This region of the country and communities have lived and suffered social, political and armed conflict, as it is an area in constant economic dispute for being the main departments of oil extraction at the national level (78.36% of national production by 2024), for being projected as a focus for the expansion of the agricultural frontier, and for having a historical dynamic of organization, resistance and political construction from peasant, indigenous, youth, worker social sectors, etc.(Federación Nacional de Departamentos, 2021) It is then intended to answer the following research question with the elements stated: What are the contributions from the transformative praxis of the social and political processes of the Central East of Colombia located in Arauca, Casanare and Meta to the environmental field and to the processes of environmental education? The focus of the research is qualitative, it is based on a type of historical-philosophical research, which is understood as that which aims to understand and locate a situation and the subject of research, in this case the social organizations of the Movimiento Politico de Masas Social y Popular del Centro Oriente de Colombia, within the framework of a historical process, political and traversed by contradictions that can be analyzed from historical materialism, where documentary analysis is implemented as an information collection technique that allows reviewing 68 actions of the social movement related in 13 categories from 2009 to 2024 and six major problems of the region. (Guadarrama Gonzáles, 1979) From this approach of analysis of reality, the social movement of the Central East focuses its praxis by developing mobilizations, denunciations, hearings, assemblies, forums, strikes and training spaces in order to interrelate the environmental problem with the interests of accumulation of wealth from the capitalist mode of production, mainly focused on the profitability of the mining-energy and agrarian sectors. which, in the absence of development and popular management of the productive forces, generate precarious social and environmental conditions for the communities, thus determining socio-environmental conflicts and depredation of nature. In this sense, these various actions contribute to environmental education to understand it from transformative praxis as that which seeks as a process and tool of transformation to unveil and overcome the capital-labor contradiction, which allows the praxis of the popular class to build from mobilization and organization new social relations and greater harmony with nature.Ítem La construcción del conocimiento ambiental de las agricultoras urbanas de la huerta Marsella en Bogotá D.C.(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Galvis Rivera, Andrea Natalia; Novoa Patiño , José BenedictoThe naturalistic, ecological, and economic perspective from which the environment is approached in Urban Agriculture (UA) initiatives in Bogotá; responding to what has been termed an environmental crisis. This research seeks to interpret the construction of environmental knowledge (through life history) of the urban farmers of Huerta Marsella in Bogotá, D.C., reviewing authors such as Leff, Bachelard, Sauvé, and Carrizosa to establish theoretical and analytical categories. This qualitative research used life history as a method and semi-structured interviews as instruments for collecting narratives. The information was analyzed using five main analytical categories (basic experience, verbal obstacle, general knowledge, pragmatic knowledge, and animistic obstacle) and four categories that emerged from the research (ethical-aesthetic environmental conception, social conception of the environment, conception of contemplation and environmental respect, and practical conception). establishing that the urban farmers of Huerta Marsella have a complex environmental vision that goes far beyond scientific and academic knowledge.Ítem Contenidos curriculares para fomentar alternativas al desarrollo en la educación superior análisis de dos maestrías colombianas con énfasis en desarrollo entre 2012 y 2022(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Esterilla Sinisterra, Virgilio; Eschenhagen Durán , María LuisaThis research offers a critique of the capitalist, growth-centered development model and highlights the importance of higher education in training professionals with critical thinking skills who can propose alternatives to conventional development. The purpose of the study was to analyze the curricular structure of the Master's program in Interdisciplinary Development Studies at the University of Cauca and the Master's program in Development Planning at the University of Santo Tomás, Bogotá. It also aimed to identify the curricular elements that promote alternatives to the development model and to reflect on the role of higher education in this transformative process. A qualitative and interpretive methodology was applied from a sociocritical perspective, allowing for an in-depth examination of the syllabi of both programs and a reflection on their educational contributions. The findings show the need to integrate topics such as subsistence economy, dialogue of knowledges, socio-environmental conflicts, social inequality, local governance, and critical thinking into the curricula, in order to strengthen educational processes that foster alternatives to the conventional development model.Ítem Criterios generales para mejorar la calidad de los estudios de impacto ambiental(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Martín Urrego, Gina Esperanza; Gómez Duque, Jorge Evelio; Gómez Duque, Jorge Evelio [0000-0001-6288-1956]The environmental impact study (EIS) is a document that is realized to assess the environmental impacts of a project, work or activity (PWA) about the environment, it plays a fundamental function in the decision making, ensuring a responsible management of the natural resources and the reduction of the negative impacts on the environment. Nevertheless, the lack of a systematic compendium of instruments, documents, features and tools around criteria for quality assurance of the EIS, constitutes a problem in this field. However, in the literature checked, it is observed that these elements appear in an isolated way, which makes their integration into methodological processes difficult. In contrast to countries to with greater training in environmental consulting, the quality of the EIS is linked to comprehensive training of the professional of the environmental impact assessment (EIA), this training is complementary with the availability of accurate and detailed environmental information, supported by suitable budgets that allow to obtain baselines and strong data about socio-environmental realities. In the national context, the lack of a structured base to guarantee the quality of studies; not only limits the effectiveness of the analysis, but also highlights a training and methodological breach that requires attention. In this sense, this research tackles the quality of EIS, considering regulations, backgrounds, and areas for improvement; its purpose is to develop general criteria to improve the quality of these studies. For this, a qualitative exploratory methodology is adopted, which allows to identify and analyze in a systematic way the criteria that can contribute to the EIS improvement. It is developed in three phases, which allow to determine elements that influence in the quality of the studies, to compare experience of international good practices in relation to EIS and to propose criteria to improve the quality of environmental impact studies. As a result, different general criteria are proposed, from the assurance and quality control, that allow a better decision making in the project management. Finally, it is emphasized the need to improve the quality of environmental impact studies and to strengthen the community participation in the assessment process. Moreover, the EIS play a vital role in environmental management, but face significant challenges; so, to improve the process, it is proposed measures as the standardization of the studies, the effective implementation of regulations, and the public participation promotion.Ítem De la montaña al PDEM Cerro Seco. Educación ambiental y representaciones sociales de ambiente periodo 2013 - 2024(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Numpaque Riaño, Lorena; González Melo , Hamlet Santiago; Solorza Bejarano , Jairo Hernán; Solorza Bejarano, Jairo Hernán [0000-0003-0261-4711]This document presents the results of the research entitled From the mountain to the PDEM Cerro Seco: environmental education and social representations of the environment, term 2013 - 2024. This research aims to analyze the incidence of environmental education (EE) processes in the transformation of environmental social representations (ESR) of social groups linked to the District Ecological Mountain Park (PDEM) Cerro Seco. The problem arises when recognizing some relevant facts in the history of Cerro Seco, located in the locality of Ciudad Bolivar, where, since its conformation, the population and the territory have experienced activities such as mining exploitation and solid waste disposal. These practices have caused the degradation of the ecosystem and negative effects on the quality of life of its inhabitants. In response to this situation, various social groups have played a crucial role. Through their discourses and practices, they have contributed for over a decade to the recognition of Cerro Seco as a protected area included in Bogotá D.C.’s Land Use Plan (POT), giving rise to the expression “From the Mountain to the PDEM Cerro Seco.” The research adopts the conceptual framework of social representations, understanding them as a type of common sense knowledge on which groups build their practices and establish objectives for change, in this case, with respect to the human - nature relationship, a fundamental aspect in the EA processes. The research approach is interpretative and employs data collection instruments such as the semi-structured interview and the Free Word Association questionnaire, widely used in studies on social representations that allow from the content analysis to identify relationships between categories, using the Atlas.Ti software for data processing and analysis. The findings show that, in the history of Cerro Seco, there are key milestones that drove social and community organization processes, such as the Camp for Life in 2015 and Decree 555 of 2021, which facilitated the transformation of environmental representations in the territory and undoubtedly influenced social practice. The historical analysis indicates that the first identified ESR corresponds to the representation of the environment as a problem, mainly marked by the impact of mining. However, at present, the CSR - Nature, CSR - Community Project and CSR - Context predominate, which evidences a change in the positions of social groups and their closeness to positions such as popular environmental education and emerging approaches such as Good Living.Ítem Formulación de criterios para un modelo de evaluación ambiental estratégica (EAE) para el plan básico de ordenamiento territorial del municipio de la Calera Cundinamarca(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Garay Álvarez, Natalia Andrea; Gómez Duque, Jorge EvelioStrategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is established as a critical analytical tool for decision-making in complex Policies, Plans, and Programs (PPPs). This tool significantly enhances the environmental performance of PPPs, particularly those with diverse spatial and temporal dimensions and potentially unpredictable environmental consequences. This research aims to formulate criteria for an ex-ante SEA model specifically for the Basic Land Use Plan (PBOT) of La Calera Municipality. A qualitative approach was adopted to investigate the correlation between SEA concepts and Land Use Planning (LUP) within a specific context. The research comprised three phases: analyzing the environmental context, comparing international and national SEA models, and finally, proposing criteria for an SEA model tailored to this specific territory. The resulting criteria promote strategies that support the continuous improvement of the municipality's LUP, facilitate the resolution of environmental conflicts, and contribute to the environmentalization of this planning instrument through the integration of SEA methodologies and procedures. These criteria are applicable to diverse territorial contexts with similar planning instruments, such as POT, PBOT, or EOT. It is concluded that developing criteria for an SEA model can significantly improve planning processes, particularly in the field of LUP where significant contributions at the Colombian level have been limited. Moreover, this approach facilitates the integration of economic, social, and environmental considerations while actively involving interested and affected stakeholders in the decision-making processÍtem Contribuciones a la estrategia de enseñanza de educación ambiental relacionada con el manejo adecuado de envases y empaques de plaguicidas en comunidades rurales del municipio de Machetá(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Arias González, Ana Milena; González Melo, Hamlet Santiago; González Melo, Hamlet Santiago [0000-0003-1210-8679]; García Barreto, Germán Alberto (Catalogador)The inadequate disposal of pesticide containers and packaging in their final stage is an issue that in recent years has been relevant in institutional policies and plans at the management level and from the educational perspective. This is because these containers and packaging generate negative impacts both at the environmental level and on human health. This research aims to generate contributions to the Environmental Education teaching strategy on the final disposal practices of pesticide containers and packaging carried out by the local authorities of the municipality of Machetá, Cundinamarca. These contributions arise from the recognition of the endogenous and exogenous factors present in the constitutive elements of said final disposal practices (skills, meanings and materials). These elements allow the adoption of final disposal practices by potato farmers in the Solana village of the municipality of Machetá. This occurs within the constitutive framework of the current collection project of containers and packaging of the municipality in its educational component. This research is carried out using the ethnographic method proposed by Restrepo (2015), which allows us to recognize the practices of disposal of pesticide containers and packaging under their constituent elements (competencies, meanings and materialities) through the descriptions (meanings) given by the potato farmers, and the immersion in the community (identifying the actions of the potato farmers). The above makes it possible to establish the factors that lead to the adoption of these practices. Based on the recognition of these endogenous and exogenous factors, it is possible to establish contextualized contributions to the teaching strategy in Environmental Education for the final disposal of pesticide containers. As a result, from the category of meanings, it is established that disposing of pesticide containers and packaging in caves does not present a negative impact. Faced with this fact, it is proposed to create an educational brochure with the participation of the community, which indicates the consequences of the inadequate disposal of containers and establishes the appropriate conditions for their disposal.Ítem Análisis de la valoración axiológica del aire en el decreto distrital 492 de 2023 en relación con las “zonas urbanas por un mejor aire (zuma)” para la ciudad de Bogotá(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Castro Ayala, Liz Mireya; Giraldo Quintero, GustavoThis document examines District Decree 492 of 2023, which regulates the Urban Zones for Better Air (ZUMA) in Bogotá, under an axiological analysis that evaluates the value systems associated with air. These ZUMAs seek to mitigate environmental pollution through intersectoral measures, which are focused on reducing the emission of pollutants and protecting public health. The research is based on a theoretical model based on the 12 value systems of Echeverría (2002), which allow the analysis of dimensions such as legal, technical, ecological, economic, social and moral, among others. The methodology employs a hermeneutical qualitative approach and uses tools such as ATLAS software. Ti to identify, categorize and analyze the air valuations expressed and implicit in the decree. The findings highlight the predominance of legal, economic, and political values in the text, with a lower representation of ecological, social, and moral values. The document also reveals tensions and limitations in environmental public policies, including criticism of their technical approach and the apparent dismissal of the complexity of environmental problems. It is concluded that, although the decree proposes ambitious regulation, implementation faces challenges related to consistency in its assessments and its practical impact on air quality.Ítem Estrategias para fortalecer la gestión territorial de la educación ambiental en el escenario de la Comisión Ambiental Local de la Candelaria, Bogotá D.C.Figueroa Blanco, María Camila; Botia Flechas, Clara Judyth; Botia Flechas, Clara Judyth [0000-0003-2540-2068]This research focuses on the management of environmental education at the territorial level, within the framework of the Local Environmental Commission of La Candelaria, in Bogotá, Colombia. This study is based on Colombian environmental legislation, which considers environmental education as a fundamental component in environmental management processes at the local level. The following recognition is reflected in the implementation of the democratization and decentralization principles in environmental education, particularly clear in instances such as the environmental commissions in the city of Bogotá. In this context, the research shed light on the mechanisms of territorial management of environmental education promoted by the CAL of La Candelaria and how these processes are aligned with the aforementioned principles. To propose strategies to strengthen the territorial management of environmental education in this scenario, the environmental education strategies implemented in the locality were analyzed, recognizing the institutional influence, institutional coordination, participation of the local community in environmental decision-making and the responsibility transfer from the central to the local level in environmental management.Ítem La formación a docentes de los Proyectos Ambientales Escolares (PRAE), en el periodo 2018-2022. Aportes de la mesa local de educación ambiental de Usme (Bogotá)(Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas) Patiño Amado, Luz Mery; Castillo Ordoñez, Elsy YanethFrom environmental policies, different strategies have been proposed and one of these is the creation of the Local Environmental Education Boards, proposed by the Environmental Advisory Council in District Decree 081 of 2014, defined as spaces for participation of different actors among which are the teachers-facilitators of the School Environmental Projects PRAE, therefore, it is important to analyze the contributions that the Board makes to teachers in terms of training in environmental education EA, hence the question arises, what conceptual contributions of environment and environmental education are recognized in the pedagogical strategies implemented by the Local Environmental Education Board of Usme in the training of teachers-facilitators of the School Environmental Projects PRAE of 10 District Educational Institutions in the period 2018-2022? or the research work, the theoretical references of Environmental Education and Management in Environmental Education are taken into account, works on teacher training in EA are highlighted, some pedagogical strategies are presented and finally, research related to the working groups is recognized. The objectives of the research aim to describe the pedagogical strategies derived from the Roundtable in the training of teachers who promote the PRAE in order to identify their objectives and establish a typology. Also, to recognize the conceptual approaches based on the different currents of Environment and Environmental Education by teachers and finally to suggest recommendations that contribute to strengthening the inter-institutional work between the Roundtable and the IED. The methodology is qualitative with an interpretive approach supported by the content analysis technique and the ATLAS.ti technological tool. Field notes, documentary collection and analysis, as well as ethnographic semi-structured interviews were used. According to the results and the discussion, it is concluded that the Usme Local Environmental Education Roundtable is a space for participation, mainly for teachers who promote the PRAE, which through pedagogical strategies supports and strengthens these IED projects, promoting the solution of problems in the territory. The strategies projected to the community, development and application of a case study workshop project and active participation in environmental research are the main strategies that are recognized within the Roundtable. These strategies have allowed to strengthen the exchange of knowledge and experiences, the recognition of the territory and to carry out interdisciplinary exercises, which indirectly lead to training processes. The concept of environment is recognized by the teachers from an anthropocentric and systemic current, while the EA is perceived between the naturalist and conservationist currents. It is very important to mention that during the investigation a third concept appears, territorial appropriation, this as the central axis of the EA created around the Roundtable. Recommendations include establishing more formal training spaces, recognition of teachers who participate in the Roundtable, and a greater presence of district entities that contribute to training in EA. Finally, a better organization by the Roundtable is recommended in terms of communication, systematization of information, and monitoring and evaluation processes.Ítem Propuesta de evaluación cualitativa para los Proyectos Ambientales Escolares (PRAE) en los colegios públicos de la localidad cuarta San Cristóbal de Bogotá, D.C.González Forero, Edgar Eliécer; Quitián Bernal, Sandra PatriciaResearch Work Report whose purpose is focused on the evaluation of School Environmental Projects (PRAE) in District Education Institutions of the town of San Cristóbal in Bogotá, D.C., where a qualitative evaluation under a socio-critical approach is proposed. The need for a reflective and critical environmental education that fosters attitudes of environmental assessment is highlighted. Qualitative evaluation is presented as a tool to improve environmental education processes; it seeks to transform individual and collective thinking and behavior. The general objective is to design a proposal for a qualitative evaluation of the PRAE under a socio-critical approach to strengthen critical training in environmental education. The methodology is based on the qualitative socio-critical evaluation paradigm and the methodological design of the Grounded Theory. Interviews and analysis of PRAE documents were implemented, the ATLAS.ti. 23 program was used for the analysis of the information. The evaluation proposal highlights student empowerment, community participation and connection with external entities, in which the socio-critical approach in environmental education and socio-critical evaluation are integrated to generate substantial changes in environmental education training.Ítem Diseño de una estrategia de formación en educación ambiental mediada por el blog educativo en el Colegio Simón Bolívar IEDGómez Anzola, Adriana Stella; Quitián Bernal, Sandra PatriciaThe present research work was directed towards the design of a training strategy in environmental education that seeks to promote changes and transformations in the educational community of the Simón Bolívar IED School, in the city of Bogotá D.C, allowing it to actively participate and consider the learning these topics as something interesting, as well as seeking to occur in a motivating environment and in this way training processes in environmental education are favored. This research initiative was developed under the qualitative action research model and under the process described in the following stages: Diagnosis, planning, action and feedback. As a product of this process, a teaching method was designed in environmental education processes, using an educational blog as a pedagogical complement as a tool. The strategy included the VIVE Blog: “LIFE AND GREEN” linked as a pedagogical mediator, in which the perceptions of the subjects that make up the educational community are taken into account, as well as the identified deficiencies of the training processes in this topic, all of this with the intention of promoting the development of elements of social transformation through the analysis of socio-environmental poems.
