Afectación del ruido ambiental a Instituciones Educativas; conjunto de acciones desde la Participación Ciudadana y Centros Educativos

Abstract

The environmental noise generated in the surroundings of educational institutions, depending on its intensity, can affect to a greater or lesser extent the teaching-learning process, both for students and teachers. This research attempts to analyze this effect measured through the perception of Generation Z in the city of Guayaquil, and aimed to develop a mitigation plan from two perspectives: from Citizen Participation and Educational Centers. The information was collected through multiple response surveys, a convenience sampling of 452 individuals; bivariate tables and pyramidal graphs were used for analysis, revealing the perception of young people as users of the educational service and their discomfort with the noise generated both inside and outside the institutions. Finally, a mitigation plan and implementation schedule is proposed for the Citizen Participation as a generator of noise and as relatives of those affected; and Educational Centers as affected entities and place where teachers and students are located. Young people are willing to be agents of change, so we must take advantage of this predisposition, creating activities that actively involve them, and even more, we can achieve a message for young people given by young people, so that it is clear, direct, and has the desired effects of change.
