Manejo de los residuos sólidos orgánicos del Instituto San Pablo Apóstol - Bogotá aplicando la educación ambiental desde un Enfoque Social, Científico, Tecnológico y Ambiental (CTSA)

Abstract

Proper management of solid organic waste is essential for the care and preservation of the environment, the sustainable use of natural resources, and the mitigation of the negative impact caused by diverse anthropic actions. The main objective of this project was to implement a proposal in environmental education at the Institute San Pablo Apóstol (ISPA), located in Rafael Uribe Uribe locality in Bogotá - Colombia, that allowed tenth -grade students to appropriate knowledge in relation to the management of solid organic waste, to enhance scientific skills and generate an inherent solution to this problem. Through a descriptive type of research under a qualitative approach, justified on the interpretive paradigm, a pedagogical strategy was established, based on Science, Technology, Society and Environment (STSE), using some basic methodological instruments of action research, such as the survey, the field diary, the categorization, and a workshop. This strategy promotes collaborative work, communication, proper management of organic solid waste, the strengthening of values and decision-making through the implementation of the school garden in the educational community.
