Abstract

Se formulan principios de diseño pedagógico sustentados en evidencia cualitativa y diálogo teórico. Principios que operativizan el enfoque Amazonía como sujeto de derechos en educación básica rural. Se empleó un enfoque cualitativo interpretativo enmarcado en investigación basada en diseño (IBD). El material empírico está compuesto por entrevistas a seis docentes (dos rondas), entrevistas y grupos focales con veintidós estudiantes en una institución rural del Caquetá (Colombia), y diez sesiones observación participante. Los hallazgos muestran desconocimiento generalizado del concepto sujeto de derechos, una reducción de lo ambiental a conductas individuales, fracturas entre discurso escolar y práctica comunitaria, y emociones territoriales sin canales institucionales de acción colectiva. Por último, se proponen cuatro configuraciones pedagógicas modulares, con secuencia flexible y criterios cualitativos de aprendizaje, a partir de ocho requerimientos que fundan siete principios transferibles.
