Programas de ciencias de primaria: relación entre la gestión de riesgos y el cambio climático
[Español]
La gestión integrada del riesgo de desastres (GIRD), asociada al cambio climático (CC), está estrechamente vinculada con el sector educación. Por su importancia, se analizaron los programas de Ciencias pertenecientes al I y II ciclos del año 2016 del Ministerio de Educación Pública de Costa Rica. El objetivo fue evaluar los elementos curriculares de los contenidos, las metodologías y los recursos didácticos en lo referente a la GIRD asociada al CC (adaptación y mitigación).
Dentro de los hallazgos importantes, se resalta que en los programas se reflejan contextos ambientales variados y en diferentes escalas geográficas (local, nacional y global); asimismo, se alude a los conceptos de prevención, riesgos socioambientales, CC, calentamiento global, fenómenos meteorológicos, recursos hídricos y aguas subterráneas, entre otros. La presencia vinculada de estos elementos en los planes denota su actualización con respecto a las principales corrientes teóricas de la GIRD y el CC que se han propuesto y que guían el corpus científico tanto a nivel nacional como mundial. Otros elementos de calidad presentes son: se centra en el estudiante, es coherente en los diferentes años escolares y es flexible. Los resultados de este análisis se utilizarán en una etapa posterior como parte de una investigación más amplia, cuya finalidad es crear una propuesta educativa ambiental para elaborar competencias relacionadas con la GIRD asociada al CC en la escuela Excelencia de Cahuita en Limón, Costa Rica.

Integrated management of disaster risk (IDRM), associated with climate change is closely linked to the education sector. Due to its importance, content analysis of the current study programs of Sciences (2016) in I and II cycles of basic general education of the Ministry of Public Education of Costa Rica was carried out for this paper. The objective was to evaluate curricular elements of contents, methodologies and teaching resources in relation to the IDRM associated with climate change (Adaptation and Mitigation).
Among the important findings it is highlighted that the programs reflect varied environmental contexts and at different geographical scales (local, national and global); likewise, they allude the concepts of prevention, socio-environmental risks, change climate, global warming, meteorological phenomena, water resources, groundwater, among others. The presence of these elements in the study program implies that they are current and relevant and show they were formulated according to the main theoretical trends of IDRM and climate change, that guide the scientific corpus at national and global level. Other quality elements present are: student-centered, consistent in different school years, and flexible. The results of this analysis will be used later stage as part of a broader investigation in the construction of an environmental education proposal for the creation of competencies related to the IDRM associated with climate change at the Excelencia Cahuita school, Limón, Costa Rica.
