Conexión con la naturaleza, Aprendizaje al aire libre, Educación para el desarrollo sostenibleResumen
Los educadores ambientales reconocen la importancia de conectar a los jóvenes con la naturaleza, mientras que los sistemas educativos actuales operan dentro de marcos que necesitan mejorar esa conexión. Este artículo contribuye a la creciente literatura sobre cómo se pueden utilizar y valorar los espacios al aire libre como parte de las prácticas de aprendizaje para promover la conexión de los jóvenes con la naturaleza. Estos son temas de creciente relevancia debido a los fenómenos del trastorno deficitario de la naturaleza (Louv, 2005) y la disparidad de conocimientos sobre las plantas (Hiatt et al., 2021), que desafían a los sistemas educativos a superarlos. Este estudio se centra en iniciativas de aprendizaje al aire libre sobre colecciones de árboles de nuez pecana [Carya illinoensis (Wangenh.) K. Koch] y pistacho (Pistacia vera L.) y combina elementos de enfoques de investigación cualitativos y cuantitativos de acuerdo con los métodos de investigación mixtos (Johnson et al., 2007). Se discute el valor de las visitas a las colecciones de árboles como estrategia para incrementar la conexión de los jóvenes con la naturaleza y enriquecer los planes de estudio escolares.
