Recycling Domino as a Didactic Strategy for Learning Integrated Urban Waste Management

Abstract

This article aims to propose the recycling domino as a didactic strategy designed to promote meaningful learning of the integral management of urban waste, through the design, development, and implementation of an educational game with 33 students from a public educational institution in Valledupar, Colombia. The research was conducted under a qualitative approach, with an action research design and a descriptive scope. The results revealed an initially low conceptual appropriation, which significantly improved after the participatory workshop and the implementation of the recycling domino, highlighting its effectiveness as an innovative didactic resource to strengthen environmental competencies. It is concluded that this playful strategy facilitates comprehensive learning and can be replicated in other educational institutions seeking to promote sustainable practices.
