Resumen

Cuando se trabaja con microorganismos, los docentes de educación básica terminan limitándose a clases teóricas, dejando muchas veces de lado el enfoque práctico. Por lo tanto, buscamos demostrar cómo los huertos escolares pueden contribuir a la enseñanza de la microbiología de una manera práctica y alineada con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS). Soil samples were collected from public elementary school gardens participating in a program initiated by the Municipal Department of Education in partnership with the State Department of the Environment and Water Resources. The method used to isolate and quantify bacteria involved culturing them on Petri dishes, with quantification based on the number of colonies present in different soil samples. Additionally, soil samples were analyzed to determine nutrient levels necessary for vegetable growth. The results showed that school gardens provide an alternative methodology to overcome the challenges faced by basic education teachers in teaching microbiology. This approach allows for exploring soil biodiversity, understanding how agricultural practices affect this biodiversity, and recognizing the role of microorganisms as indicators of these changes. Furthermore, it underscores the importance of microbiology in promoting responsible production. By incorporating school gardens into the curriculum, educators can offer students a more practical and comprehensive understanding of microbiology, encouraging both scientific inquiry and environmental stewardship.
