Valeria Calagua Mendoza, teacher at the Escuela de Educación Superior Pedagógica Pública Monterrico in Metropolitan Lima, shares her reflections on the challenges and opportunities related to climate change education. In this interview, Valeria expresses her enthusiasm for the new educational proposals that allow going beyond the simple understanding of climate change as a global problem. She emphasizes the importance of understanding the deep scientific causes of these phenomena to incite meaningful and sustainable citizen actions.
Valeria especially values the method of transforming prior knowledge through observation and experience. She highlights how simple and concrete activities can help students identify aspects of their understanding that need adjustment, improvement or deepening.
Speaking about pedagogical practices, Valeria mentions that the fundamental principles of inquiry and experimentation, although simple, are crucial and should have been integrated into classrooms long ago. She highlights the importance of allowing students to ask questions, use their imagination and propose their own ideas to build collective knowledge.
