Resumen

La probabilidad de que los estudiantes emprendan una ciudadanía activa en el futuro es mayor si los alentamos a actuar ahora, proporcionándoles oportunidades de hacerlo y de asumirse como ciudadanos capaces de contribuir a la solución de los problemas de nuestra sociedad actual. La presente investigación, con la participación de un grupo de estudiantes de entre 12 y 13 años de edad y las disciplinas de las Ciencias Naturales y las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación, tuvo como objetivo el estudio de los efectos de la realización y difusión de vídeos digitales sobre el tema de la contaminación ambiental en las percepciones que los alumnos tienen sobre su propia capacitación para la acción y el desarrollo de competencias de activismo. La producción de vídeos digitales por estudiantes, generalmente asociada al ocio y el entretenimiento, puede utilizarse como una actividad de la enseñanza y, particularmente, el aprendizaje de las ciencias. En este estudio, su realización y posterior divulgación también se utilizó como estrategia de activismo destinada a la educación. El estudio, centrado sobre todo en un análisis cuantitativo, integra un estudio más amplio, de naturaleza mixta. Los resultados muestran una evolución positiva en la percepción de los estudiantes sobre su capacidad de acción, así como el desarrollo de competencias básicas para la acción colectiva basada en la investigación.

Production and dissemination of digital videos on environmental pollution. Case Study: Collective research-based Activism

The likelihood that students pursue an active citizenship in the future is increased if we encourage them to act now, in the present, providing them with opportunities to do so, and regarding them as citizens capable of contributing to the solution of current problems. The present research, involving a group of students from the 8th grade (12 to 13 years old) and the subjects of Natural Sciences and Information and Communication Technologies, had the purpose of studying the impact of the production and dissemination of vodcasts, subordinated to the theme of environmental pollution, in the perceptions of students regarding their capacity for action and their development of activism skills. The construction of vodcasts by students, being usually associated with leisure and entertainment, can also be used as an activity for science teaching and learning. In this study, its production and subsequent dissemination was also used as a strategy for activism aimed at education. The study followed a quantitative approach, and is part of a larger quali-quantitative study. The results show a positive evolution in students' perceptions regarding their empowerment for action, and the development of basic skills for research based collective action.
