Dinámicas cognitivo conductuales concernientes a la enseñanza de la educación ambiental, aplicadas a una población infantil del grupo club de ciencias y vacaciones científicas, del Jardín Botánico de Bogotá José Celestino Mutis

Abstract

This document was prepared as a degree project in the form of an internship, in the educational and cultural subdirectorate (SEC) of the Botanical Garden of Bogotá. In the SEC the support and professional support was developed around the groups of the science club and scientific vacations, recreational pedagogical designs were developed concerning the topics of urban agriculture, the implementation of the mentioned pedagogical designs was continuously carried out. The group of bushes, made up of children from 7 to 9 years of age, proceeded to execute the implementation of the pedagogical designs to the scientific vacation groups, made up of children from 4 to 12 years of age. Parallel to the development of the various activities that were carried out in the SEC, a pedagogical proposal was made regarding environmental education and science education. Therefore, the evaluation of two theories of social and emotional psychology was carried out, being these; the motivational theory of the opposing process of Solomon and Corbit, 1974 and the theory of the transfer of the excitement of Zillmann, 1978. These theories explain the dynamics of the affective reaction, understood as the process by which the individual manifests the emotions through a specific stimulus or instigator. The results of this research show that the understanding of the functioning of emotions in children by the teacher, encourages the development of new pedagogical proposals, which in prospective facilitate the development of positive cognitive and behavioral dynamics in children.
