Análisis del proceso enseñanza-aprendizaje en torno al cambio climático en la escuela de Educación General Básica 29 de Julio

Abstract

When discussing climate change, we are referring to short and long-term alterations in Earth’s climatic patterns, primarily driven by human activities. Some of these changes include rising temperatures, landslides, floods, and extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall and severe droughts. Informed individuals can build resilience and adapt to these shifts. On the other hand, the teaching of climate change has been a necessity for several years, responding to current issues. Consequently, educational institutions are urged to incorporate this topic into their curricula. This document analyzes the teaching and learning process related to climate change at the General Basic Education School ‘29 de Julio’. It examines how the curriculum and Natural Sciences texts guides the topic of climate change and its impact on the educational community’s perception. The importance of integrating environmental education into the educational system to cultivate environmentally conscious and proactive individuals in the fight against climate change is emphasized. Additionally, it explores how the Ecuadorian National Curriculum and Natural Sciences texts contribute to understanding and action regarding climate change. The community’s perspective on climate change is also considered through participatory mapping and interviews, revealing local concerns and the need for sustainable practices.
