Propuesta didáctica para el desarrollo del sentido de identidad en los estudiantes, a partir de una educación ambiental estructuralista en espacios no convencionales

Abstract

Identity is important to generate recognition of oneself and the environment, process in which appropriation and care of the environment is developed (Lagarde, 2000). Through the question: How to develop a sense of identity from a structuralist environmental education in non-classical spaces? , it is proposed to design the environmental interpretation route: "My essence is a tree" and the didactic unit under the parameters of Fonseca (2015) that bears the same name, with which it is intended to make a process of recognition of the native urban woodland of Bogotá with a structuralist approach. The route was designed for the school recorders of the sixth and seventh grades, who have in their programmatic contents of the area of ​​natural sciences the ecological knowledge. The research is part of a socio-critical paradigm (Basagoitti and Bru, 2002) and has a qualitative research approach. Within the design of the didactic unit several activities are proposed: The first of recognition of the native urban trees of the main trails and green areas of the city of Bogotá from its biology and taxonomy, the second and third is specified in the recognition of the Walnut as most emblematic tree of the Colombian capital, understanding its biology, ecology and its ecosystem interactions from a structuralist approach; the fourth shows the processes of recognition and identification with the environment by the participants of the route, through the production of a theme for each of the sessions worked, in which the notion of care with the environment is found and human values ​​in the identification with some of the natural elements that the participants take for the construction of the work; and the fifth seeks to show which are the entities in charge of the urban arc to prevent logging for damages and diseases to these organisms. Proving that the didactic proposal responds to the interests of the development of a sense of identity.
