Manual digital documentando los procesos de construcción de objetos educativos a través del reciclaje considerando las disciplinas del Instituto de Ciencias y Artes Leonardo da Vinci.

Abstract

This project is aimed to make a digital instruction manual about the processes of building of educational objects by means recycling according to the subjects taught in eight year of basic education of the Educational Institute of Science and Arts Leonardo Da Vinci in Riobamba. It was an experimental and field trip study in order to investigate, create and build new things. The inductive methodology, interviews, surveys and observations were used to find the parameters of the students, teachers, and subjects. It was possible to create educational objects by using resources such as: hardware and software of Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Flash and Debut Video Capture edition, and inorganic recycled materials. Manual cutting tools and cleaning tools were also used. The following process was carried out to make the objects: 1) collecting of the material thrown in the instruction such as tips, disposable plates, sherbets, bottles of plastic, paper, carton, sticks of ice creams, glass and play dough, 2) treatment of materials by means of cleaning, washing, drying and disinfecting depending on the material, 3) steps to create an object for math (cube, cylinder, prism and Cartesian plane); natural science (mockup of the skeleton, bones, reproductive system, windmill and volcano); social studies (mass media such as television, radio and telephone); esthetic culture (painting board, material organizer and collecting basket). This manual elaboration collected by photos of the prior process. A visual application which was simple and clear for the target was gotten. 75% of the results determines that the manual is useful in the handling and creation of objects for students of eight grade. It is concluded that this manual is a great contribution for students and teachers of this institution because it encourages to motivate, to create, and to use new things for learning by recycling materials available in the institution. It is recommended to continue with this project in order to encourage students and teachers to recycle and to contribute with the environment.
