Biodiversipaz: Percepciones de estudiantes y agentes educativos del Colegio Francisco de Paula Santander acerca de cultura de paz en relación con la conservación de la biodiversidad

Abstract

A qualitative research was carried out with 87 student co-researchers from the Francisco de Paula Santander School, located in Villavicencio, Colombia. The proposal consisted of an EAR Educational Action-Research . The students participated in the comprehension of socio-environmental realities and in the construction and dissemination of knowledge related to the conservation of biodiversity and the construction of a culture of peace. This process facilitated changes in school dynamics, revealing the perceptions of the community and students. The EAR led the perceptions of the co-researchers to transform from very general ideas to complex concepts, allowing them to recognize their agency as political subjects who contribute to the management of themselves, their communities and their environment.
