Diego Moreira - Social educational practices as a methodology for teaching and service production around hydrometeorological events
Hi, my name is Diego, I represent a small community of teachers in atmospheric sciences and oceanography who have proposed and are carrying out an educational social practice that can be replicated elsewhere.
The University of Buenos Aires (UBA) implemented a course on educational social practices. These are a space outside the classroom where students put into practice the knowledge acquired and exchange knowledge with the community where these activities are articulated. In particular, the Department of Atmospheric Sciences and Oceans, a training centre for meteorologists and oceanographers, designed a practice around extreme hydro-meteorological events such as urban flooding. In this activity we show how this practice is developed and how it can be implemented in some other place or extreme event.
Content
Social Educational Practices (PSE) represents a dynamic approach in education, fostering the integration of curricular contents with the demands of society within teaching and learning environments. The University of Buenos Aires has made significant progress in establishing these transformative training spaces. One good example of this progress is evident in the endeavors of the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanographic Sciences (DCAO), which operates as a training center of meteorologists and oceanographers. Within the “Anticipating the Flood” project framework (http://anticipandolacrecida.cima.fcen.uba.ar/), the DCAO has introduced a PSE named "Collective construction of community maps of urban flooding". In this work we will present our three years experience in teaching in this PSE and the progress achieved during this period.
