PROPUESTA DE TAREAS DOCENTES PARA POTENCIAR LA EDUCACIÓN AMBIENTAL EN EL PROCESO DE ENSEÑANZA - APRENDIZAJE DE LA QUÍMICA EN LA EDUCACIÓN MEDIA SUPERIOR

Abstract

This article "Proposal for teaching tasks to promote environmental education in the teaching-learning process of chemistry in upper secondary education", outlines the results of the research carried out as part of the training process in undergraduate studies and responds to the need to achieve the integral formation of the young generations. It addresses the main shortcomings detected by the application of methods and instruments applied in the educational context in the municipality of Lajas in the province of Cienfuegos, Cuba. From the above, results are reflected such as 100% of the students denote in their modes of action poor mastery of the main environmental problems of the community and the school environment, little link between the contents they receive in the teaching of Chemistry and the activity daily and poor participation in activities dedicated to the protection of the environment. The elaboration and application of teaching activities was determined to promote environmental education with a participatory and community character from the Chemistry classes at the IPU Frank País García. The results of its application materialize in 95.4 of the students dominate the main environmental problems and suggest ways of solution as an active subject of society. 100% participate in school and extracurricular activities aimed at conservation and protection of the environment. 50% of them feel motivated by the link between the contents of the Chemistry subject and the environment, which is reflected in the participation in the Life Task competitions directed from the school.
