Abstract
This research aims to encourage environmental values to produce
organic fertilizer through the vermiculture practice (the raising and production
od earthworms and their by-products) done by the students of the Francisco
Tamayo School Technical located in Barinitas parish, Bolívar municipality state
Barinas. This investigation draws attention to take advantage of organic wastes
related to organic solid remains due to the excessive accumulation of vegetable
and animal organic solid waste without being used. The nature of this study
belongs to the qualitative approach of a participatory action research. It
supports the field method in a descriptive way and its methodological design
was made in four phases: Reflection, Planning, Execution Plan, Reflection and
Results. The key people were: (02) students and (01) teacher. The techniques
of gathering information were the participatory observation and the free
standard interview, the instrument, the guide notes interview and field
notebook. The analysis techniques of information were categorization and
triangulation. Among the preliminary considerations are expected to encourage
the sustainability through the production of organic fertilizer along the
vermiculture as an option to change the production to become more sensitive
students and to reach their own development in the environmental culture.
