Proyecto de aula “The ecoweb” orientado para el logro de la educación ambiental con estudiantes de la institución educativa Liceo El Mundo del mañana

Abstract

This research aims to implement the virtual classroom project THE ECOWEB with 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students from the Liceo El Mundo Del Mañana school in order to achieve the Environmental Education objectives proposed by the Ministry of National Education. To fulfill this purpose, it was necessary to recognize and integrate the contributions made by María Novo, where she explains the scope and possibilities of an environmental education accompanied by technology, with the postulates of the article by Leticia Galindo on the advances of virtuality in the environmental education, in order to identify the fundamental principles of Virtual Environmental Education. Taking into account the transversal axes of Environmental Education and Virtual Education, a theoretical approach is made to the pedagogical current of constructivism, because its postulates allow the design of flexible and autonomous learning processes, which, understood from connectivism, base the practices Emerging pedagogies in virtuality. For the design of the proposal, the five-step instructional design proposed by David Merrill was chosen as a theoretical reference, which states that learning actions should be oriented from the execution of a project. The application with the students allows us to conclude that the THE ECOWEB classroom project allows meeting the objectives of Environmental Education such as awareness, preservation of the environment, motivation of good practices and environmental responsibility.
