Actividad tecnológica escolar saberes ancestrales en la Marimba de Chonta en la comunidad Afrocolombiana de Timbiquí Cauca - Colombia

Abstract

The following academic proposal presents a School Technological Activity or ATE (Actividad Tecnológica Escolar as is known in Spanish for its initials) it is a didactic tool to work in the area of technology, from different epistemological approaches that are: nature and evolution of technology, appropriation and use of technology, problem solving and technology and society. From this perspective an ATE of analysis is proposed to work ancestral knowledge and technology around the building process of the chonta marimba in the town Timbiqui by recognizing in this construction a great deal of knowledge, an unbleached, important, valid and appropriate knowledge for developing in the classroom. So that educator has a starting point in this type of jobs in the technology area and also does researching on this topic by recognizing in this kind of jobs educational activities that does not allow the loss of this type of ancestral technologies. The ATE of analysis facilities to the teacher address research process, develop educational activities in the technology and contribute to maintaining common and ancestral knowledge alive, in such a way that they are reflected everyday in their enviroment or commmunity. In the ATE of analysis works questions that are asked about the marimba artifact by generating in the subject an enriched reading of its context because the marimba, in this proposal, is taken as an excuse for the approach of other knowledge, of the other ways of seeing, learning and feeling life. This is based on the decolonial pedagogies that simulate the way in which this knowledge is combined with technology education by providing a self-recognition and empowerment framework, so that this academic proposal can be incorporated into the educational and curricular context of the institution. The ATE as a bridge between this and the communities in which the artifact is immersed. Then, underlining the systemic and anthropological relationship of the marimba with the inhabitants of the territory, the building of one or more knowledge that is configured as the autochthonous: the own, the links that interweave people and their identity with an ancestral technology.
