Mango as a Source of Income for Families in Magdalena by implementing the Research as a Pedagogic Strategy

The mango industry in the Caribbean region has displayed poor and deficient performance in recent years, which has led to wasting large amounts of this fruit in Magdalena. The purpose of this study was to transform mango into a source of income for families in Magdalena by implementing the research as a pedagogic strategy (IEP by its acronym in spanish). The methodology of the study was qualitative, using an active research approach, based on a descriptive and exploratory design. The techniques used included participative observation and use of a field journal. The study’s participants were forty (40) members of the educational community at the Armando Estrada Flórez School, Pantoja Campus. The study’s results identified the different varieties of tropical mango that are suitable for this strategy and the causes that prevent its development. The conclusion focuses on the need to transform the community’s way of thinking about the mango in order to turn it into a source of income for families in the municipality.
