Historieta conceptual contextualizada, un observatorio solar para resignificar el territorio

Abstract

This article presents the results of an educational research study that claims the school as a socially constructed territory. The being and doing of the school are connected to the idea of territory, interpreted in relation to the categories: field of legal-political power, environmental field, social construction, and physical space. The research paradigm is qualitative, with reflective and interpretative approaches. The research methodology is the case study, and the research instrument is the Contextualized Conceptual Comic Strip. Implemented at the La Belleza Los Libertadores School in Bogotá, Colombia, the contextualized conceptual comic strip represents a solar observatory in Bacatá. This allowed for the symbolic re-signification of Bolívar Square, understanding it beyond a space of political power, recognizing it as the Muisca Solar Observatory. The research prompted questions in vocational high school students (n = 30) about our ancestral communities and their worldview, their ways of thinking, and the consequences of the arrival of the Spanish in our territory
