PEDRAZA-JIMENEZ, Yamile. The Participatory Action Research to Problematize the University Curricular Environmentalization. Rev. Fac. Cienc. Tecnol. [online]. 2020, n.47, pp.93-109. ISSN 0121-3814.  https://doi.org/10.17227/ted.num47-9516.

Based on the fundamentals of participatory action research, this text describes how a collective is formed and the environmentalization of the curriculum is problematized at the Pedagogical and Technological University of Colombia (UPTC). Methodologically, IAP involves management processes and institutional intervention, as well as interpretative and critical research paradigms in search of a transformation. First, this article presents the results and the discussion of the conformation of the collective integrated by teachers, students and administrators of the university; second, it shows the analysis of the language, the discourses and the way the collective problematizes the curricular environmentalization, through the construction of the problem tree as an instrument for gathering information. The results showed the limitations of conceptual type about environment, curricular structures, positioning of an economic discourse in the educational and environmental fields and the difficulties between administrative and academic processes.

Keywords : environmental education; higher education; interdisciplinary approach; participatory research; research about the curriculum.
