TEACHING HERPETOFAUNA ECOLOGY CONSERVATION OF WETLANDS IN THE COLOMBIAN ORINOCO IN PUERTO CARREÑO, VICHADA

The objective of this research was to validate an educational guide aimed at teaching the ecology of the herpetofauna of the place, highlighting its importance for biodiversity conservation of wetlands. This work was done in the city of Puerto Carreño, with members of the educational institution Normal Superior School Federico Lleras Acosta, seventh grade. There observation of attitudinal changes presented in the participating students, compared to some categories of biodiversity values, before and after the application of the material was performed. Attempts were also significant to learning and awareness processes, in terms of ownership by the living and the natural, by the scope of the text. The text invites the adoption of a systemic view, through critical reflection, with context examples in the area. Analysis data were collected and triangulated using mixed methods research and design of research instruments. This information was used to re adjust the guide and finally validate, finding that in the region are welcomed and needed innovative ways in teaching biology. A different trend was then proposed in the teaching–learning phenomena of life, through thematic contextualized to the region, allowing subjects to recognize the complexity of life, appropriating their role in the conservation of the same and highlight the importance of wealth in bio-diverse and multicultural terms in Colombia.
