«No todo es sargazo»: Aprendizajes en un proyecto de ciencia ciudadana marino-costera
Resumen
Los efectos de la llegada abundante de macroalgas, como el sargazo, a la península de Yucatán motivó el monitoreo de los arribazones por medio de un proyecto de ciencia ciudadana dirigido a poblaciones afectadas o interesadas. Por medio de cuestionarios y entrevistas semiestructuradas, se analizaron los aprendizajes de 18 participantes (de 16 a 18 años) de la primera etapa del proyecto. Entre los hallazgos, destacó la interrelación de los nuevos aprendizajes disciplinares sobre las macroalgas y los procedimentales del trabajo de campo. Los participantes mostraron actitudes renovadas y positivas hacia la ciencia y el arribazón. Se reflexiona sobre qué factores impulsaron sus aprendizajes y habilidades para la investigación al atender los objetivos científicos, entre ellos: la relevancia del problema, el taller introductorio y la socialización entre las científicas y los participantes.
