Baby zoo, a proposal for social projection from the pedagogy of tenderness at UFPSO.

Abstract

The education of the new generations, which includes children, young people and adults, is attributed to both schools and families, with the aim of promoting the humanization of the human being and facing the challenges of human development in the new millennium. In this context, the Pedagogy of Tenderness stands out, based on Martí's educational principles, which has an optimistic approach and encourages work with people. The goal of this study is to design a proposal for social projection based on the pedagogy of tenderness, considering it as the organizing principle of society. The Babyzoo is proposed as a space where children interact with offspring of animals of zootechnical interest in the experimental farm of the Francisco de Paula Santander Ocaña University. To do this, a descriptive methodology with a mixed approach and a non-experimental method is used. Among the results obtained, the visibility of the Francisco de Paula Santander Ocaña University as a regional leader in the training of more humanized people, as well as the generation of a culture of change in the region that promotes care and respect for farm species, and interaction with numerous children from schools and kindergartens in the region, both in the urban and rural sectors.
