INVESTIGACIÓN FORMATIVA EN LA ASIGNATURA DE ECOLOGÍA INDUSTRIAL

Abstract

In developing countries as Peru, it is considered necessary that the result both of the theoretical - practical formation(training) and of the research applied in the Schools of Industrial Engineering, should be proposed of improvement and industrial growth in harmony by the environment, it will be able to be reached by capable, innovative professionals and with environmental values. To reach this goal, the Faculty of Engineering of the Catholic University Saint Toribio Mogrovejo proposes, as part of the curriculum, the development of the formative investigation as transverse axis of yours subjects. This way this work of research centres on the design and development of the intervention on classroom for the subject of Industrial Ecology, corresponding to the cycle IV of Industrial Engineering, during the semesters 2007-I and 2008-I, using as pedagogic strategy of base the formative investigation in order to achieve the improvement of the learning – education. The achievements of the learning gather with diverse instruments of evaluation, especially with reports of research that they make operative, the processes of formative investigation. By means of these reports there is demonstrated that the above mentioned strategy, it makes possible the professionals' training that the society needs, on having created spaces that they make possible to integrate knowledge with the specific application of the same ones, so that the student realizes actions of practice, which will allow him to develop competitions for the accomplishment of research in strict sense. The generation of problematic initial situations of Industrial Ecology, around an industry especially, has allowed to the student to organize and to develop knowledge, though it is already existing knowledge, applying them concerning yours expectations and academic professional specific conditions. The reached results demonstrate that, with a design I shape T for the subject of Industrial Ecology and using as strategy base the formative investigation, processes develop in the students in and for the research, incorporating progressively the own contents of the subject in an industrial concrete application, reaching successfully the achievements of learning established, developing in addition responsibility with the utilization industrial and taken care of the natural resources. Colateralmente, this type of intervention in classroom has made possible, the harmonic development of the tasks of research, teaching and environmental responsibility of the university teacher.
