DEVELOPMENT IMPACT

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AITq2r3JBBk

Talk about important changes that Bogotá or the world has had during the last decades, due to human progress and development.

Inhabitants: before there were half a million people in Bogota. In this moment there are about 8 million inhabitants.

Past Habits: people were able to do more things in the streets. For example, dance, eat, play in the parks, and sell things…

Housing: Before there used to be very big houses. Now there are small apartments in very tall buildings. In the past, houses were made of different materials (Wood, bamboo,…) in this moment houses are made of concrete, metal, asbestos, and other materials.

Animals: There used to be more wild animals than today. People had a very different relationship with animals. People used animals as resources and used animals in a much more beneficial way. Today we eat meat and animals from other parts of the world.

Crops:_In the past crops were organic and natural. Now they are GMO (genetically modified organisms) For instance, Monsanto is the biggest manufacturer of seeds and pesticides.

Transportation:_In the past people used animals and there used to be more trains, boats, canoes. Today we use cruise ships, planes, cars, motorcycles, rockets.

Social behavior:_Kids could play in the streets. People had more respect for each other and the natural world. Children respected their parents and teachers more. Now, people have less respect for the natural world and their elders. People are more concerned about technology and less concerned with personal relationships.  In general, people lived their lives in a very sustainable manner.

Personal needs:_Before, people were more concerned about working and feeding their families. Today, people think about other things. People are more concerned about fulfilling their personal needs or desires.

Landscapes:_The landscape used to be much more greener. Today the world is filled with much more housing, buildings, and concrete. The world was a much cleaner place.

Sharing our work

Today we share this work in class

Look at the  examples in the chart and write one idea per ítem.

Items	What was our planet like 100 years ago?	What is our planet like now?	What will our planet be like in 100  years?
Housing	Example: Houses used to be made of wood. People used to live in big houses.	Now they are built of concrete. Now, we see more tall buildings rather than houses.	Maybe there will be only taller buildings and no houses.
Plants and trees	There was a lot of biodiversity, because there was not contamination.	There is a lot of contamination. There are many cars, factories and people.	There will not be many plants, because the future is full of technology. The vegetation will disappear.
Rivers/oceans	In the past it was perfect. The water was clean and the world was not warming so quickly.	Currently, there is global warming. Water is very dirty and there is a lot of contamination.	Rivers and oceans will be without water. For the animals in the oceans there will not be any water.
Mountains/ valleys	In the past the mountains and valleys had lots of plants and trees… There were less factories and contamination.	Currently, the factories and mining companies have used lots of trees and resources	In the future maybe we will be in a better situation, because humans can use technology to help save the planet.
Animals	There were a lot of animals in the past, because they had lots of plants to eat. Humans did not consume as many animals.	Now there are few animals, because humans use animals for experiments and humans eat much more meat than they used to.	In the future animals will not exist if people do not change or care about them.
Crops	In the past people worked more at producing a lot of their own food. People ate much more vegetables and fruit.	Currently, there are less crops, because of global warming. El Nino and La Nina have affected the amount of crops.	In the future, there won't be many crops, because technology will replace this.
People	In the past, people were happier, because they worked and lived together in more of a community.	More people only use cell phones, they are lazy and do not work.	In the future, people might be able to change the world with technology.

WHAT DO YOU PREFER A green field or a gray field?

PROMOVIENDO HABILIDADES COMUNICATIVAS EN INGLÉS COMO LENGUA EXTRANJERA A TRAVÉS DE CONTENIDOS DE CIENCIA TECNOLOGÍA Y SOCIEDAD

Autor: LUZ DARY LÓPEZ CHICA

Institución Educativa: NORMAL SUPERIOR DE CALDAS

Población beneficiada: Estudiantes de 7 a 11 (voluntarios)

Objetivo	Promover el desarrollo de pensamiento crítico y habilidades comunicativas en lengua extranjera (Inglés).
Meta	En dos años los participantes del proyecto habrán realizado mínimo tres acciones concretas en beneficio de la humanidad utilizando los conocimientos adquiridos en Ciencia, Tecnología y sociedad; aplicando sus habilidades comunicativas en inglés.

Objetivos

1.     Fortalecer el pensamiento crítico y sentido de responsabilidad cívica frente a la ciencia y la tecnología.

2.     Estimular la comunicación de ideas en una segunda lengua.

3.     Propiciar la formación de un equipo interdisciplinar (tutores) comprometido con el asesoramiento de estudiantes que  pertenecen a este proyecto.

4.     Proponer acciones para disminuir impactos negativos de la ciencia y la tecnología.

Justificación

Siendo coherentes con el enfoque humanista de nuestra ENSC, su visión, misión y modelo pedagógico, he optado por buscar una estrategia para integrar el currículo en un proyecto transversal que sea llamativo a los estudiantes y los comprometa a aportar soluciones concretas a los efectos adversos que ha provocado el desarrollo científico y tecnológico.

“Se trata de temáticas interdisciplinares que exigen que los estudiantes las aborden desde sus conocimientos en Ciencias Naturales. Algunas son globales, como la deforestación, el efecto invernadero y la producción de transgénicos, y otras son locales, como la explotación de recursos y el tratamiento de basuras. No se exige un conocimiento previo de las temáticas.  El objetivo —en consonancia con los Estándares— es estimular en los jóvenes el desarrollo de un pensamiento crítico y de un sentido de responsabilidad cívica frente a la ciencia y la tecnología en la medida en que estas tienen impacto sobre sus vidas, las de su comunidad y las de la humanidad en general”. Orientaciones para el examen de ensayo de educación media, PRE SABER 11° ICFES, 2014, PÁGINA 40.

La problemática  acarreada por el uso inconsciente o sin consideraciones éticas de la Ciencia y Tecnología es de carácter global, por ello se piensa en un lenguaje universal que propicie comunicación con todos los rincones del mundo, el inglés es la lengua que mejor manejan la mayoría de los países del mundo.

La novedad se presenta al utilizar el inglés como lengua extranjera en las instrucciones, material audiovisual, comunicación de las ideas; propiciando un aprendizaje significativo tanto en inglés como en las disciplinas involucradas.
