Systemic curriculum for teaching water sustainability in the colombian Amazon

Abstract

The water problem in the Colombian Amazon is rooted in: deforestation, water wastage, water pollution and the absence of education aimed at the protection of water systems. In this context, the objective of the research is to propose a systemic curriculum for the teaching of water sustainability based on the conceptions of middle school teachers of the Amazonian Agroecological Educational Institution (IEAA) of El Paujil Caquetá. With emphasis on the action research method, an interview validated by four experts with doctoral training was applied. The information was analyzed through grounded theory. The result of the research is a systemic curricular structure based on lesson plans, contents, didactic strategies, research processes, interdisciplinary work and evaluation processes.
