Propuesta artístico-pedagógica para la reconstrucción emocional y sentimental hacia la herpetofauna: una experiencia de concienciación ecológica y sensibilización poblacional

Abstract

This research presents an artistic-pedagogical proposal designed to shift negative emotions and feelings regarding amphibians and reptiles. The study involved 24 students and was conducted over four sessions that highlighted knowledge of these organisms, their identification, and their distinct characteristics. Furthermore, the study focused on four species inhabiting the Bogotá savanna; these were presented through artistic illustrations that fostered emotional and ethical transformation regarding herpetofauna. Aligned with the participatory-critical praxeological approach and action-reflection research—as well as the process of ecological and affective sensitization—the study yielded significant results leading to an emotional and attitudinal shift toward herpetofauna.
