Representaciones sociales de ambiente de los maestros que participaron en el desarrollo del programa “palabras mayores” en la provincia de Valderrama (Boyacá, Colombia) periodo 2019 – 2020

Abstract

In all educational training processes, it is of great importance to recognize people's cognitive systems, which allows for a greater understanding of social dynamics. One way to achieve this objective is through the study of social representations. Thus, the main objective of the present research is to identify the social representations of the environment from now on (RSA) that predominate in the teachers who participated in the execution of the "Palabras mayors" program belonging to the province of Valderrama (Boyacá) period 2019 - 2020. which establishes a starting point for future research and allows us to propose actions aimed at improving the educational processes in said programs. This research is qualitative in nature that allows us to understand the concepts through the data obtained using inductive research. The analysis was structured through the use of techniques such as keywords and content analysis of the responses derived from the development of a questionnaire. virtual, these techniques allowed the characterization of 4 types of RSA. In accordance with what was proposed by Flores, 2008 regarding the different types of environmental SR, within the surveys, naturalistic RSA (62%), globalizing (19%), utilitarian anthropocentric (13%) and cultural anthropocentric ( 6%), it is worth highlighting a marked presence of naturalistic RSA despite the fact that the province is recognized for its extractive activities. These results are of great importance since they can be used for the design of strategies that strengthen educational work and for future teacher training processes. Finally, some important elements are defined that can be implemented to improve the results obtained here.
