Abstract
El aprendizaje activo de la Sustentabilidad Urbana (SU) es un área en creciente desarrollo, por lo que es importante aportar a este corpus con nuevas experiencias concretas, particularmente, aquellas que provienen desde el Sur Global. Este artículo tiene como objetivo sistematizar la implementación piloto de un manual de aprendizaje de SU en instituciones de educación superior chilena que surgieron del curso Exploraciones urbanas: Territorio sustentable dictado en la Pontificia Universidad Católica. Acá se realizó una investigación cualitativa basada en análisis de contenido que utilizó un proceso metodológico teórico – aplicado: primero, se realizó una encuesta a exestudiantes del curso pionero considerando 5 parámetros: contenidos, organización de la enseñanza, metodologías didácticas, evaluación – retroalimentación, y relación entre el estudiantado – personal docente. Luego, desde los resultados de la encuesta se generó un manual con actividades didácticas para la SU, revisado en un grupo focal de salida a ex estudiantes, docentes de dichas universidades y pares expertos/as. A continuación, este manual se implementó en el curso Exploraciones urbanas en tres universidades chilenas de forma mixta en plataforma online y algunas actividades presenciales el 2022 y, al finalizar, fue evaluado en un nuevo grupo focal realizado por las y los docentes que impartieron el curso. El primer resultado corresponde a la encuesta en donde se observó una alta satisfacción con el curso (84% manifiesta que metodología de clases resulto útil para comprender la materia). El segundo resultado es el análisis de los grupos focales que utilizaron los mismos cinco parámetros que fueron insumos en la primera revisión del manual y en su versión final. Por último, se discute la idea de que este proyecto permitió abordar desde múltiples visiones la enseñanza de la SU en distintos contextos territoriales chilenos, lo que permitió relevar intereses comunes que pueden servir para que otros centros educativos latinoamericanos utilicen este material didáctico para la educación superior que está disponible en línea para su descarga gratuita en español.
Since active learning of Urban Sustainability (US) represents an area in growing development, contributing tothis corpus with new concrete experiences, particularly those from the Global South, is necessary. This articleaims to systematize the pilot implementation of an US learning manual in Chilean higher education institutionsthat emerged from the Urban Explorations: Sustainable Territory course taught at the Pontificia UniversidadCatólica. Therefore, the authors carried out a qualitative research based on content analysis that used atheoretical-applied methodological process: first, a survey was carried out on former students of the pioneercourse considering 5 parameters: contents, teaching organization, teaching methodologies, evaluation – -feedback, and relationship between students – teaching staff. Then, based on the results of the survey, ahandbook with didactic activities for the US was generated, and reviewed in a focus group with former students,professors at these universities, and expert peers. Subsequently, this manual was implemented in the course at3 Chilean universities in a mixed way (on an online platform and some face-to-face activities) in 2022, and, inthe end, it was evaluated in a new focus group carried out by the professors who taught the course. The firstresult corresponds to the survey where a high satisfaction with the course was observed in the 5 parametersevaluated (<70%). The second result is the analysis of the focus groups that used the same 5 parameters fromthe first revision of the handbook and in its final version. Finally, the authors discussed the idea that this projectallows to approach the teaching of US in different Chilean territorial contexts from multiple perspectives, whichhighlights common interests that can serve for other Latin American educational centers to use this teachingmaterial for higher education available online for free download in Spanish.
