Preservando nuestro Patrimonio Natural y Cultural: bio prácticas para estudiantes de Básica Superior

Abstract

This work is born from the deep desire to transform the way students connect with their environment and with themselves. An instructional methodological class is proposed and developed aimed at students of higher basic education, in accordance with the skills and objectives set by the national curriculum of cultural and artistic education of Ecuador. The main objective is to integrate art, nature and natural and cultural heritage, through the use of biomaterials with the cultivation of scoby from a fermented drink called kombucha and technological tools such as the iNaturalist application. This proposal promotes the investigation of contextualized environmental problems, such as the loss of biodiversity and the sustainable use of resources, applying a transdisciplinary approach, through the use of the methodology of problem-based learning (PBL) and constructivism, promoting critical reflection on the impact of their projects in the local context. Ultimately, this project seeks to develop ecological and cultural awareness in students, promoting their participation in the preservation of natural and cultural heritage, while encouraging creativity and critical thinking through art.
