Evaluación de la efectividad de una guía eco-pedagógica basada en actividades lúdicas para el fortalecimiento del conocimiento y la cultura ambiental en estudiantes de quinto grado de la IED Nacional Agustín Codazzi, sede Santa Rita

It is essential to strengthen students' environmental knowledge and culture by incorporating innovative educational methodologies that promote values of respect and responsibility towards the environment. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an eco-pedagogical guide designed to improve environmental knowledge and habits in fifth grade students at the Agustín Codazzi National IED, Santa Rita campus. From a quantitative, non-experimental and descriptive-explanatory approach, diagnostic evaluation was used as a data collection instrument. The results indicated that 94.1% of the students positively valued the guide, expressing that it helped them understand and reinforce their environmental knowledge, in addition to fostering responsible attitudes towards their environment. Likewise, it was observed that recreational activities facilitated the understanding of concepts and promoted sustainable behaviors. The research concluded that the use of playful and collaborative methodologies promotes greater ecological awareness and responsibility, which opens up opportunities to integrate play into other educational areas and foster, in a more comprehensive and continuous way, a sustainable environmental culture that involves the entire educational community and promotes an active commitment of students to environmental protection.
