THEMATIC NETWORKS FROM THE CONTEXT AND EVERYDAY

Abstract

The environmental crisis that society is experiencing, positions the human being on the edge of uncertainty and in turn offers an opportunity to understand the meaning and significance of its relations with nature. It is from the space of the everyday where knowledge is woven and learning takes root. Therefore, the everyday is nourished recursively with the social, political, economic, cultural and environmental dynamics from the context. What context? For the case that concerns us, it is that of the Guayana bioregion, in particular, Ciudad Guayana, where from different perspectives: social, productive and ecological, a series of thematic networks are woven that allow the voice of actors to be positioned in a synchronicity of aspects to reveal alternative propositions, with lenses of different resolutions, that bring us closer to environmental complexity. The diagrams that are exposed in this work are part of the advance of an investigation on the (de) construction of educational-environmental knowledge, and methodologically it is based on the use of Grounded Theory methods and techniques (Straus and Corbin, 2002). From the results obtained, this presentation presents seven (7) diagrams associated with: life site, waste, residues, urban water cycle, basic resources for life, minerals of Guyana, and history of mining in Guyana, the which are the product of the voice of the actors. It is expected to integrate these thematic networks in a proposal of socio-environmental pedagogy.

Keywords: everyday life, context, bioregion, grounded theory, (of) construction.
