Proyectos agroecológicos escolares en Educación Inicial: estudio de caso comparativo entre dos centros de Educación Inicial

Abstract

The present work is a comparative study research in the TiNi and Chakra project specifically. Its objective was to generate a debate based on the reflection and analysis of the concrete practices related to the agroecological school projects that are being carried out in the CEI "Hernán Malo" and the CEI de Innovación "UNAE", in order to rescue the positive of each one and integrate them to enrich the teaching-learning process of the entire educational community, mainly of children”. For this, we mainly address authors who talk about childhood and its relationship with the natural environment, agroecology and school agroecological projects, which were the bases to characterize and differentiate the agroecological proposals studied. It was based on a qualitative approach, using techniques such as direct observation, interviews and documentary review, which were fundamental for the collection of data and subsequently obtaining the results. Those who have gone through a process of coding, analysis and finally interpretation, contextualized and based on the data and literature consulted. We consider that agroecological projects are spaces for interaction and activation of memory in which the entire educational community can participate. In addition, children, being involved in agricultural processes, learn about the importance of land and environmental conservation, while developing motor, artistic, and social skills.
