Obtaining compost to develop significant learning in the subject of natural sciences: an educational methodology

Abstract

This paper presents an evaluation of the elaboration of compost as an educational methodology in teaching the subject of natural sciences. The experiment was carried out for two types of compost to recognize which offers better soil fertility from the different materials used in its elaboration. Two groups of students were used to evaluate the performance presented with the practical and traditional theoretical methods. The main results show that teaching from experimentation offers better alternatives to recognize concepts and their applications, to retain knowledge effectively.
