Chemistry and soil resource protection in the training of Media Technicians in Agronomy
Abstract
In the training of middle technicians in Agronomy, chemistry plays a decisive role, since for agricultural production much use is made of chemicals that are used as fertilizers and pesticides, and to regulate plant growth, in search of high agricultural and livestock yields. In this sense, the authors propose professional teaching tasks to influence the environmental education of students in the career of Agronomy, Media Technicians, at the "Guillermón Moncada" polytechnic center, in the municipality of Urbano Noris, with emphasis on the protection of the resource soil, from the teaching of Chemistry as a subject and as content in agronomic subjects. These tasks are focused from the theoretical and practical classes in the field, the main research material, supported by the experimental method of research, as well as didactic methods, including joint development and independent work. A pedagogical experiment is used. The professional teaching tasks are developed in the subjects: Chemistry, Agricultural Production, Agricultural Health, Irrigation and Drainage, Integrated Soil Management and Animal Husbandry-Veterinary. The initial diagnosis (teachers, students, teaching-professional process), the implementation of professional teaching tasks, and the subsequent measurement of their impact on the training of professionals in the field of soil resource protection, offer scientific results that strengthen students and teachers in their professional performance with adherence to environmental respect, and with this the objective of this research is considered fulfilled.
