Aporte al curso de los polinizadores de la línea de formación del Jardín Botánico de Bogotá José Celestino Mutis

Abstract

The José Celestino Mutis Botanical Garden of Bogotá (JBBJCM) proposes to contribute to harmonizing the relationships between human beings and nature and, for this, promotes the social appropriation of environmental knowledge through educational activities, which include a wide range of courses, diplomas, research hotbeds, workshops, consultancies to educational institutions, interpretation tours and seminars. Within the environmental education and training courses, a practical theoretical course is offered focused on pollinators that seeks to reach all types of public to promote knowledge about the pollination process in order to make visible which animals carry out this process and why it is relevant to know about it. In this sense, as students of the Bachelor's Degree in Biology of the Francisco José de Caldas District University, pedagogical and didactic support is provided for the execution of the theoretical-practical course of pollinators, in addition, structured activities are designed to strengthen the course and the power work with pollinating animals. For this reason, it is essential that the JBBJCM receive professionals in training who have disciplinary, didactic and pedagogical knowledge and who can contribute significantly to these scenarios to contribute to the construction of environmental thinking and accessible to everyone. That is why different training sessions were developed within the proposed module, which guided the completion of the JBBJCM pollinator course. It was evidenced that the practical activities improved the understanding of the participants about the concept of pollinators in the red books, because the cards used facilitated the identification of pollinators and through the implementation of the designed module and it was possible to provide the necessary support for the execution of the JBBJCM pollinators course, obtaining satisfactory results in the appropriation of themes and concepts by the participants belonging to different population groups.
