El humedal Jaboque como herramienta de enseñanza para estudiantes de grado cuarto del Colegio General Santander a través del aprendizaje significativo

Abstract

The Jaboque wetland is a place that is located around several neighborhoods and educational institutions located in the town of Engativa. This wetland is important because it is one of the largest wetlands in Bogotá, in addition, it has a large ecosystem and performs several vital functions for the surrounding population as well as for the species that live there. However, there is a lack of awareness of the importance of this wetland in the community. For this reason, the research uses the Jaboque wetland as a resource and fundamental axis for teaching and learning fourth grade students of the General Santander School through meaningful learning. The objective is not only the use of Jaboque wetland as a teaching tool, but the student recognizes this place as a close environment, understands the changes that are taking place in this space so that he can create critical thinking and seek actions that help mitigate environmental problems with the help of meaningful learning. Therefore, the student is not only an observer of his reality, but actively participates to renew and transform it from the knowledge he acquires thanks to his experiences and experiences with the environment. However, the knowledge does not remain independently in the students, since parents and the community in general are expected to be involved in the mitigation of the environmental problem facing the wetland.
