El método Scout como estrategia didáctica para fortalecer la participación y cooperación en la enseñanza y aprendizaje de las Ciencias Naturales en estudiantes del séptimo grado de la Unidad Educativa Particular Sudamericano

Abstract

This curricular integration work gives relevance to the creation of participatory and cooperative spaces in the teaching and learning process of Natural Sciences, given that the problem evidences the lack of spaces where students can interact together, as well as the limited intervention by each one of them. For this purpose, relevant information was collected through participatory observation, which were collected through various techniques and collection instruments. Therefore, the research is qualitative, with a socio-critical paradigm, complemented by action research, with 19 students and a Natural Sciences teacher. Within the results obtained through the triangulation of data between the field diaries, the interview and the bibliographic review, it was possible to identify the need to strengthen the teaching-learning process of Natural Sciences with active methodologies for participation and cooperation. The proposal was designed to present a guide of activities (games) based on the Scout Method, as a support tool, which can contribute to consolidate the contents of any learning topic. This proposal was validated by four professionals in Natural Sciences area who stated that it is correctly elaborated and flexible. It is necessary to mention that the recommendations were taken into consideration, so it can be applied to other educational contexts, purposing to spread the Scout methodology.
