Resumen
En este artículo presentamos un análisis de saberes cotidianos sobre el ambiente de niños y niñas que asisten a escuelas rurales del centro de la provincia de Santa Fe (Argentina). La mayoría de ellos integran familias dedicadas a la actividad tambera, la cual ha tenido una gran centralidad en la región, pero se encuentra actualmente desplazada por la actividad agrícola intensiva. Para documentar los saberes cotidianos infantiles sobre el ambiente realizamos un trabajo de campo sostenido en tres escuelas rurales. La principal estrategia metodológica empleada fue la realización de una actividad de dibujo y escritura con niños y niñas. A partir del análisis de estos materiales y de las conversaciones sostenidas durante su realización, buscamos documentar los saberes ambientales infantiles, a los cuales conceptualizamos como cotidianos, retomando las contribuciones de Lev Vigotski. Nuestro análisis evidencia cómo la relación de niños y niñas con su entorno natural remite a sus condiciones materiales (y, por lo tanto, ambientales) de vida. Proponemos que estos saberes pueden ser retomados en el marco de la educación ambiental, aunque sin desconocer que la naturaleza de los problemas que esta aborda implica conocimientos científicos de alto grado de abstracción y sistematicidad.
In this article, we present an analysis of the everyday knowledge about the environment held by children attending rural schools in central Santa Fe Province, Argentina. Most of these children come from families involved in dairy farming, which has historically been central to the region but is now being displaced by intensive agriculture. To document children's everyday knowledge about the environment, we conducted sustained fieldwork in three rural schools. The main methodological strategy employed was a drawing and writing activity with the children. Based on the analysis of these materials and the conversations held during the activity, we sought to document children's environmental knowledge, which we conceptualized as everyday knowledge, drawing on the contributions of Lev Vygotsky. Our analysis reveals how children's relationship with their natural environment is linked to their material (and therefore environmental) living conditions. We propose that this knowledge can be taken up again within the framework of Environmental Education, although without ignoring that the nature of the problems it addresses involves scientific knowledge of a high degree of abstraction and systematicity.
