El desarrollo de la inteligencia naturalista como una estrategia pedagógica para fortalecer los lazos con el embalse del muña en niños y niñas de quinto grado del colegio Departamental San Benito de Sibaté

Abstract

The following paper gather the results of a research whose objective was to analyze the proposal: “the naturalist intelligence, a pedagogic strategy to strengthen ties with the nature” developed with fifth grade students of the “Colegio Departamental San Benito de Sibaté” aimed to develop thinking skills that allow to produce appropriation practices of their own environment and local strategies that lead to the care of Muña’s reservoiria body of water that has several environmental problems which affect the well-being of the local population. This pedagogical strategy came up from the theoretical foundations of the Howard Gardner’s proposal on multiple intelligences, specifically on Naturalistic Intelligence and environmental education tenets. For the development of the project, a classroom work that fed from literature review of primary, secondary and field data collection sources through participant observation, field diary, interviews and surveys was developed. Its application with the students allows us to conclude that the skills of the Naturalistic Intelligence promote positive attitudes so that children are participatory agents and strengthen the ties with nature through the rapprochement, knowledge, understanding and reflection.
