Análisis de la pertinencia de la aplicación de la metodología TiNi, según los docentes de básica superior de la Unidad Educativa Ibarra

Abstract

Abstract: Currently, there are few active methodologies that are oriented towards raising awareness on the responsible use of natural resources. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the relevance of the application of the TiNi environmental education methodology, according to the perception of upper basic education teachers at the Ibarra Educational Unit. The study adopted a quantitative approach, using a survey as a data collection instrument, followed by a descriptive frequency analysis, where the results were classified according to age and gender. Subsequently, a comparative analysis of perceptions on the relevance of the methodology was conducted, using the Chi-square test to determine if there were statistically significant differences. The findings showed that the TiNi methodology is not considered by all teachers to be of high relevance in the educational process. Although no significant differences were observed based on gender, there were differences in terms of age, where older teachers showed greater acceptance, while younger teachers maintained a neutral stance, which shows the need for clearer guidance for educators.
