Cartilla de Educación Ambiental. Conservación hidrográfica del páramo de Sumapaz

Abstract

Boys, girls, young people, adults, teachers and teachers in training, I present this environmental education primer; It is a guide for us to investigate together and build knowledge and knowing. This is because we think that environmental research is important in the classroom; but it is also necessary outside of it, since nature involves everyone the actors of society who live in their environment. This booklet is created under the modality of internship degree option of the Francisco José de Caldas District University, and starts from the research cycle of Education Environmental, by the teacher José Benedicto Novoa, who in turn is the director of this work degree. This booklet is addressed to the inhabitants of the locality 20 of Sumapaz and the locality 5ta of Usme, who are neighbors of the Páramo de Sumapaz. It also seeks to be a benchmark for doing research from the IEP for students, teachers, popular educators and other members that make up the Pedro Nel Jiménez School of Popular Education. For the elaboration of this booklet, the Program is taken as a methodological example Ondas de Colciencias, given that it invites us to be co-investigator subjects and masters who they take ownership of their reality and look for solutions; in addition to the fact that its methodological route favors school learning processes. To begin this tour, we made a call to the frailejones Gustavo Paz and Esperanza Paz, who are important members of the páramo, and are very concerned about the loss of biodiversity of its territory. They want us to help them investigate the wasteland, creating research groups, to then ask ourselves questions about it, and thus define the problems of the páramo, establishing a path of exploration, with instruments and techniques, that lead us to solutions, and then share them with the community so that they join with us to solve them.
