TRADITIONALLY, THE INTERRELATION BETWEEN TEACHING AND LEARNING HAS FOCUSED ON STUDIES THAT SEEK TO DEFINE THE CORRELATION BETWEEN STUDENTS' LEARNING ACHIEVEMENTS AND METHODOLOGIES OF TEACHERS TO TRANSMIT INFORMATION. THE TEACHER DELIVERS KNOWLEDGE AND STUDENTS ARE PASSIVE RECEIVERS. THIS ARTICLE REFERS TO THE REFLEXIVE CRITICAL ANALYSIS CARRIED OUT BY A GROUP OF RESEARCHERS FROM THE EDUCATION AND DESIGN SECTOR, REGARDING THE ADVANTAGES, DISADVANTAGES, AND IMPROVEMENTS TO THE PEDAGOGICAL MODEL DESIGN BASED-LEARNING (DBL). IMPLEMENTED IN RURAL PRIMARY SCHOOLS IN CHILE. DESIGN-BASED LEARNING FOCUSES ON INTEGRATING DESIGN PROJECTS INTO THE CLASSROOM TO PROMOTE CREATIVE PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS AND TO SUPPORT STUDENTS WITH THE LEARNING OF CURRICULAR CONTENT THROUGH ENGAGEMENT IN REAL-WORLD, AND CROSS-CURRICULAR CHALLENGES. THE OBJECTIVE IS TO CONTRAST THE DBL PEDAGOGICAL MODEL WITH TRADITIONAL TEACHING METHODOLOGIES IN RURAL PRIMARY SCHOOLS. THIS DEFINITION WOULD HELP SO THAT TEACHING AND LEARNING WOULD BE BETTER CONNECTED TO THE REALITY OF SCHOOLS. TODAY, EDUCATIONAL CURRICULA IS APPLIED IN THE SAME WAY IN URBAN AREAS AS IN RURAL ONES, WITH INCONSISTENCIES THAT CONFUSE RURAL STUDENTS. THE DATA COLLECTION METHODOLOGY IS BASED ON DESIGN RESEARCH METHODS AND ALLOWS MEASURING THE IMPACT GENERATED BY THE NEW SYNERGIES BETWEEN TEACHERS AND STUDENTS DERIVED FROM THE EXPERIMENTAL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DBL PEDAGOGICAL MODEL. THE APPLIED METHODS ARE BASED ON EXPLORATION THAT ALLOWS STUDENTS AND TEACHERS TO BE PROTAGONISTS JOINTLY, AMONG THEM ROLE INTERPRETATION, TRY IT YOURSELF, CULTURAL COMPARISONS, DAILY PHOTOS AND VIDEOS, ETHNOGRAPHY. WHILE THE RESEARCHERS OBSERVE THE PLANNING OF THESE ACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT WITH THE SUPPORT OF COLLABORATORS TRAINED IN THE ABED METHODOLOGY. RESEARCHERS APPLY RESEARCH METHODS IN DESIGN TO GATHER INFORMATION RELATED TO THE EXPERIENCE, SUCH AS FOCUS GROUP AND CULTURAL PROBES. THE RESULTS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ABED METHODOLOGY SHOWS AN INCREA

THIS PAPER PRESENTS THE EXPERIENCE DEVELOPED IN THE JUAN FERNÁNDEZ ISLANDS, A REMOTE ARCHIPELAGO AND NATIONAL PARK OFF THE COAST OF CHILE, DEVELOPED WITH UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS OF INDUSTRIAL DESIGN. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE RESEARCH IS TO PROMOTE THE EDUCATION OF INDUSTRIAL DESIGN STUDENTS, THROUGH THEIR INTEGRATION INTO THE TERRITORY AND COEXISTENCE WITH ITS INHABITANTS AND CUSTOMS, TO IMPROVE THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE AND JOB PERFORMANCE. THE METHODOLOGY CONSIDERS TWO WEEKS STUDENT STAY IN THE SELECTED TERRITORY, TO GENERATE SYNERGIES WITH LOCAL PEOPLE AND DEFINE IMPROVEMENTS TO THEIR LIVING CONDITIONS. THE STAGES DEVELOPED ARE EIGHT, 1. COLLECTION OF INFORMATION THROUGH DESIGN RESEARCH METHODS; 2. CONSTRUCTION OF A REFERENTIAL FRAMEWORK OF PERFORMANCE AND NEEDS; 3. CO-CREATION OF AN ACTION PLAN, CONSIDERING USERS, TERRITORIAL RESOURCES, PRESERVATION OF IDENTITY AND RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT; 4. CONCEPTUAL DEFINITION OF THE DESIGN PROPOSALS TO BE DEVELOPED; 5. FORMAL DEVELOPMENT AND PROTOTYPING STAGE; 6. CO-DEVELOPMENT BETWEEN DESIGNERS AND USERS; 7. DEFINITION OF THE PROPOSALS AND THEIR MANAGEMENT MODEL FOR THEIR INTEGRATION INTO THE DAILY LIFE SYSTEM; 8. SOCIALIZATION WITH THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY. THE RESULTS ARE PROPOSALS THAT CAN BE MANUFACTURED WITH LOCAL MATERIALS AND TECHNOLOGIES. THE CONCLUSIONS MENTION THAT A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE MOTIVATIONS AND ASPIRATIONS OF DESIGNERS CAN IMPROVE DECISION-MAKING REGARDING SHARED PROBLEMS IN THE COMMUNITY.

THIS ARTICLE PRESENTS AN EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE IN PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS IN CHILE TO CREATE AWARENESS OF CIRCULAR ECONOMY IMPORTANCE AND THE USE OF RESOURCES PRESENT IN THE IMMEDIATE ENVIRONMENT. THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY CONCEPT OF THE PRODUCT IS AIMED AT REDUCING 100% OF WASTE. THEREFORE, IT MUST BE FOCUSED ON KEEPING PRODUCTS AND MATERIALS IN THE ECONOMIC SYSTEM AS LONG AS POSSIBLE, THEN IT EMPHASIZES ON EXTENDING THE USEFUL LIFE OF PRODUCTS. ON THE OTHER HAND, DO IT YOURSELF (DIY) MATERIALS GENERATE NEW EXPERIENCE, PROMOTING SUSTAINABILITY AND SELF-PRODUCTION, MOTIVATING THE DEVELOPMENT OF KNOWLEDGE THROUGH THE ACTION. THEY REPRESENT LOCAL IDENTITY AND ADVANTAGES INVOLVE BASIC TECHNIQUES OF MANUFACTURE. RESOURCES ARE AVAILABLE IN PRODUCTION TERRITORY, REDUCING COLLECTION AND WASTE TRANSPORT COSTS, ENCOURAGING RECYCLING AND RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COMMUNITY OF ORIGIN. AT THE SAME TIME, IT ENCOURAGES CURIOSITY, ENGAGEMENT, CREATIVITY AND INNOVATIVE THINKING. THE METHODOLOGY IS COMPOSED OF SEVEN PHASES 1. DESIGNERS COLLECT INFORMATION ABOUT EXISTING WASTE IN THE IMMEDIATE ENVIRONMENT; 2. DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE DIY MATERIALS IN THE LABORATORY; 3. PRESENTATION OF MATERIALS DESIGNED FOR STUDENTS; 4. DEVELOPMENT OF DATA COLLECTION INSTRUMENT THROUGH SEMANTIC DIFFERENTIAL TABLES, BASED ON KANSEI METHODOLOGY; 5. DATA COLLECTION OF TACTILE EXPERIENCE WITH MATERIALS. 6. DATA TABULATION. 7. ELABORATION OF CONCLUSIONS. RESULTS INDICATE A HIGH EMOTIONAL ASSESSMENT OF STUDENTS TOWARDS INNOVATIVE MATERIALS POSSIBLE TO MANUFACTURE WITH WASTE GENERATED IN THEIR COMMUNITY. VISUAL AND TACTILE EVALUATIONS ARE ALSO PERCEIVED BY STUDENTS, HIGHLIGHTING POSITIVE ASPECTS ESPECIALLY FOR TRANSLUCENT AND FLEXIBLE MATERIALS, AS WELL AS MORBID AND HUGGABLE. STUDENTS SHOW A 100% INTEREST IN MANUFACTURING MATERIALS AND PRODUCTS APPLYING THE CONCEPTS PRESENTED. EDUCATIONAL RESULTS ARE POSITIVE BECAUSE THEY INTEGRATE PERSPECTIVE ADDRESSED AT THE ENVIRONMENTAL DIMENSION AND SOCIAL BENEFIT FOR IMMEDIATE

THE PAPER CONTRASTS THE WORK DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES ADDRESSED BY UNIVERSITY GRADUATES FROM THE DESIGN SECTOR. THE TERRITORIAL CONTEXT BRINGS DIFFICULTIES, BECAUSE TRADITIONAL MANUFACTURING OR SERVICE COMPANIES POORLY KNOW THE DISCIPLINE. THIS EVEN WHEN DESIGN CAREERS HAVE BEEN TAUGHT FOR MORE THAN FIFTY YEARS IN THE COUNTRY. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS RESEARCH IS TO KNOW THE PREFERENCE ORIENTATIONS OF ENTREPRENEURS, AS WELL AS THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THEIR STRATEGIES TO STAY IN THE MARKET. THIS INFORMATION IS USEFUL TO KNOW THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE COMPANIES AT THE TIME OF THEIR FOUNDATION, AS WELL AS THE ADAPTATIONS OF THEIR STRATEGIES. THE STUDY IS CARRIED OUT ON TEN COMPANIES, OVER A PERIOD OF THREE YEARS. THE METHODOLOGY CONSIDERS AN IDENTIFICATION OF THE COMPANIES, THEIR CLASSIFICATION INTO TYPOLOGIES ACCORDING TO THE SERVICES THEY PROVIDE, DIAGNOSIS RELATED TO DESIGN MANAGEMENT, FOLLOW-UP THROUGH MEETINGS AND GUIDED VISITS TO COLLECT INFORMATION SYSTEMATICALLY. THE RESULTS SHOW LARGE DIFFERENCES IN INCOME AND A STRONG INFLUENCE OF MACROECONOMIC VARIABLES. IN ADDITION, KNOWLEDGE OF ADMINISTRATION AND ACCOUNTING, AS WELL AS OF SOCIAL NETWORKS TO DISSEMINATE THE COMPANY'S VALUES, ARE RELEVANT FACTORS OF SUCCESS. THE HIGH DROPOUT RATE OF COMPANIES IN THIS PERIOD IS VERIFIED, AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO REINVENT THEIR SERVICES. DIFFICULTIES ARE OBSERVED IN OBTAINING HIGHLY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL, WHICH IMPLIES A HIGH TURNOVER OF EMPLOYEES. THE SCENARIO FOR THESE VENTURES IS UNCERTAIN, DUE TO A POOR DESIGN CULTURE BY POTENTIAL CLIENTS AND THE ENVIRONMENT IN GENERAL

ONE OF THE INNUMERABLE SOCIAL TRANSFORMATIONS DERIVED FROM THE GLOBAL HEALTH EMERGENCY CAUSED BY THE COVID-19 VIRUS WAS CONFINEMENT AND SOCIAL ISOLATION, AS PART OF THE MEASURES TO PROTECT THE LIVES OF CITIZENS. THE FUNCTIONING OF SOCIETY WAS COMPLETELY AFFECTED, INCLUDING THE EDUCATIONAL FIELD, WHICH GENERATES DISPLACEMENTS OF A CONSIDERABLE NUMBER OF PEOPLE DAILY, WHICH, DUE TO SOCIAL CONTACT, BECAME AN IMPORTANT RISK GROUP. THE INTERRUPTION OF THIS ROUTINE, PARALYZING FACE-TO-FACE EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES, WAS THE SAFEST STRATEGY TO REDUCE THE SPREAD OF CONTAGION. THE CONTEXT OF EDUCATION, LIKE ALL OTHER SECTORS OF SOCIETY, HAD THE NEED TO HASTILY IMPLEMENT A DISTANCE LEARNING SYSTEM ASSISTED BY DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES FOR EFFECTIVE PEDAGOGY. IT IS IN THIS ENVIRONMENT WHERE THE LACK OF SKILLS AND ABILITIES IN THE STUDENTS WAS SEEN, HAVING TO ADAPT TO THESE NEW CONDITIONS OF ONLINE LEARNING, AS A RESULT OF THE TRANSFER OF ALL EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES TO A VIRTUAL FORMAT. THE ONLINE TEACHING SPACE BECOMES THE NEW EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT, WHERE STUDENTS MUST PUT INTO OPERATION ALL THEIR COGNITIVE, AFFECTIVE AND MOTIVATIONAL STRATEGIES, TO SELF-REGULATE THEIR LEARNING IN THE MOST SUCCESSFUL WAY POSSIBLE. SCHOOL ACTIVITIES HAD TO BE RESTRUCTURED, TO GIVE CONTINUITY TO THE EXERCISE OF ACADEMIC FUNCTIONS AND TRANSFER LEARNING CONTENT, TASKS AND ACTIVITIES TO THE INTERNET. INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES (ICT) IN THEIR MULTIPLE FORMS, APPS, WEB, EMAIL, VIDEOS, TOOK CENTER STAGE, COMPROMISING THE DEVELOPMENT OF ESSENTIAL DIGITAL SKILLS, FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF DIFFERENT VIRTUAL PLATFORMS, SUCH AS MOODLE, MICROSOFT TEAMS, ZOOM, ETC. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS STUDY WAS TO DIAGNOSE GAPS IN TERMS OF THE LEVEL OF DIGITAL LITERACY AND SAFE USE OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES (ICT), TO ACCESS KNOWLEDGE, IN THE ÑUBLE REGION, CHILE. EVALUATING THE RESULTS FOR THE ASPECTS OF: 1. CONNECTIVITY TIME, 2. TECHNICAL DIMENSION, 3. SOCIO-EMOTIONAL DIMENSION AND 4. COGNITIV.....

HOW THE INCLUSION OF AND ART/TECHNIQUE THAT HAS A VAST AND PROLIFIC HISTORY HAS FOUND PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS IN THE LAST 50 YEARS, WILL BE PRESENTED IN THIS STUDY. IT IS ABOUT ORIGAMI (PAPER FOLDING), WHICH IS USED IN THIS STUDY AS AN ARGUMENT AND APPROPRIATE METHOD IN THE ACCOMPLISHMENT OF THIS EXPERIENCE WITH THIRD-YEAR DESIGN STUDENTS WHOSE GOAL WAS THE DEVELOPMENT OF PACKAGING DESIGN FOR SMALL LOCAL AGRICULTURAL PRODUCERS GRANTING THEM THROUGH AN ATTRACTIVE PACKAGE, A BETTER PRESENTATION OF THEIR PRODUCTS AND HELPING THEM ACHIEVE A BETTER PERFORMANCE IN THE COMPETITIVE MARKET. THE VERSATILITY AND CAPACITIES OF ORIGAMI HAVE BEEN USED AS AN APPROPRIATE METHODOLOGY FOR CREATING DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS SINCE STUDENTS CAN DEPLOY THEIR FULL CREATIVITY AND INTUITION FREELY AND WITHOUT RESTRICTIONS THAT LIMIT THEIR POSSIBILITIES. THE STAGES ARE: 1. CHOICE OF A PRODUCT TO PACKAGE. 2. CHARACTERIZATION OF THE PRODUCT REGARDING ITS CONFORMATION, CONSISTENCY, MEASUREMENTS, LIFESPAN, ETC. 3. DEVELOP THE PROCESS OF DESIGNING THE PACKAGING THAT IS INSPIRED IN SOMETHING NATURAL RELATED WITH THE PRODUCT. 4. APPLICATION OF TECHNIQUES BASED ON NORMS, PRACTICES AND ORIGINAL ATTRIBUTES OF ORIGAMI LIKE THE USE OF A SINGLE SHEET, BASED ON FOLDS AND WITHOUT THE USE OF GLUE. AN INHERENT CAPACITY OF PACKAGES IS STORAGE AND PORTABILITY. ANOTHER IMPORTANT ASPECT THAT ENHANCES VERSATILITY AND COMPLEXITY OF ORIGAMI IS THE INCORPORATION OF MATH, GEOMETRY, FRACTALS, TESSELLATIONS, MATERIAL RESISTANCE, GENERATION OF PATTERNS, DELIBERATE USE OF COLORS, AMONG OTHERS, THAT INCREASE THE VALUE OF THE PROPOSED DESIGN. AS A RESULT OF THIS, NOT ONLY PAPER BUT VARIOUS MATERIALS HAVE BEEN INCORPORATED TO THIS EXPERIENCE, WITH WHICH AN OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE OF THE TECHNIQUE CAN BE ACHIEVED, HELPING THE DESIGNERS FULLY ADAPT ORIGAMI IN USEFUL PRODUCTS THAT ACHIEVE THE DESIRED ATTRIBUTES. ORIGAMI IS A TECHNIQUE THAT CONTINUES TO FIND MANY NEW APPLICATIONS NOT ONLY ON THE DESIGN FIELD BUT ALSO ON THE FIELDS OF

THE RISE OF TECHNOLOGIES HAS MARKED THE DIFFERENCE IN MANY CONTEXTS OF SOCIETY, BEING EDUCATION ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ONES, WHERE MANY STRATEGIES AND IMPROVEMENTS HAVE BEEN APPLIED, ITS A CONTEXT THAT CAN?T AND SHOULDN?T BE DETACHED FROM INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES (IT) WITH EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES, NAMELY, IT SHOULD GIVE STUDENTS DIGITAL TOOLS THAT ALLOW THEM TO LEARN TO CODE AND TO USE INSTRUMENTS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO DEVELOPING COMPUTATIONAL THINKING. THERE ARE EVIDENT SIGNS THAT THERE ARE SCHOOLS THAT ARE ACTUALLY IN DISADVANTAGE REGARDING DIGITAL TOOLS, MAINLY RURAL AND LOW SOCIOECONOMIC LEVEL SCHOOLS THAT LACK OF CONNECTIVITY, WHICH ACTS AS A BARRIER FOR DIGITAL LEARNING AND REDUCES OPPORTUNITIES. THE PROPOSED STUDY, CONTEMPLATES THE VALORIZATION OF EDUCATORS REGARDING IF THE USE AND APPLICATION OF THIS TECHNOLOGIES IS SUCCESSFUL AND BENEFICIAL INSIDE THE CLASSROOM IN THE CONTEXT OF A SIGNIFICANT LEARNING IN THE DIGITAL EDUCATION SYLLABUS. TO DEVELOP THIS STUDY A FIELD RESEARCH IN PUBLIC EDUCATIONAL ESTABLISHMENTS IS DONE AIMING TO ELABORATE A DIAGNOSTIC AND EVALUATION ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGICAL GAPS PRESENT IN PUBLIC EDUCATION, WHICH IS INTERPRETED AS AN INEQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITIES TO ACCESS INFORMATION, KNOWLEDGE AND EDUCATION THROUGH TECHNOLOGY. OBSERVING IF THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND DIGITAL RESOURCES ARE AVAILABLE FOR STUDENTS AND COUNTING ON IMPLEMENTATION AND FORMATION OF DIGITAL COMPETENCES AND ABILITIES IN THE QUALITY OF LEARNING AND THE SAFE USE AND HANDLING OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES (IT). FOR DATA COLLECTION, TWO POLL-LIKE INSTRUMENTS ARE DESIGNED, ONE AIMING TO SPECIFY THE DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES AVAILABLE, CONSIDERING INFRASTRUCTURE, DIGITAL RESOURCES, EQUIPMENT AVAILABILITY, INTERNET CONNECTIVITY, DIGITAL SPACES AMONG OTHERS. THE SECOND ONE INQUIRES ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF PRACTICAL SKILL TRAINING, THE APPLICATION OF DIGITAL RESOURCES IN LEARNING AND THE USE AND HANDLING OF IT?S. THE RESULTS OF THIS DIAGNOSTICAL RESEARCH CONFIRM THAT THE PRESENCE OF DIGITAL GA

TEACHING OF MODELS FOR SUSTAINABLE ACTION MUST BE PRESENT AT ANY TRAINING STAGE. HOWEVER, IT IS NECESSARY TO ASSESS APPROPRIATE EDUCATIONAL APPROACHES FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS, SINCE STUDENTS CAN GENERATE VIABLE SOLUTIONS, ARTICULATING AGENTS OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTORS. THE POSSIBILITY OF RELATING BUSINESS, GOVERNMENT, NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATION (NGOS), COMMUNITIES FROM UNIVERSITY, ALLOWS STUDENTS TO DEVELOP SYSTEMIC VIEW OF REALITY AND POSSIBILITIES TO INFLUENCE AS FUTURE RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS. IN THIS ARTICLE, STUDY CASE IS ADDRESSED TO EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE DEVELOPMENT IN UNDERGRADUATE INDUSTRIAL DESIGN STUDENTS, DEVELOPING EXPERIENCE BASED ON THE DESIGN OF DO IT YOURSELF (DIY) MATERIALS. THE DIY PHENOMENON IS BASED ON THE USE OF EXISTING WASTE IN THE ENVIRONMENT, WHERE NEW MATERIALS ARE MANUFACTURED. IN ADDITION, THE USE OF ORGANIC BINDERS IS SUGGESTED, WHICH FAVORS DEGRADATION AND REDUCE HEALTH RISKS FOR USERS. THE OBJECTIVE IS TO TRAIN STUDENTS IN THE USE OF METHODOLOGICAL, PROJECT AND MANAGEMENT TOOLS, WHICH ALLOW THEM TO TAKE ACTION THAT FAVOR SUSTAINABILITY. THE THEME OF DIY MATERIALS DESIGN IS AN OPPORTUNITY, AS IT PROVIDES A BROAD AND DIVERSE POINT OF VIEW. THROUGH KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER WITH EMPHASIS ON EXPERIMENTATION, EXPLORATION, AND TERRITORY ASSESSMENT, STUDENTS BECOME AWARE OF REALITY. THE METHODOLOGY FOCUSES ON THE DESIGN OF NEW MATERIALS AND SUSTAINABLE PROCESSES, DEVELOPING GRADUAL AND ITERATIVE PHASES, BASED ON: 1. EXPLORATION OF CONTEXT AND OPPORTUNITIES; 2. PRODUCT BRIEFING PROPOSAL (NEW MATERIAL); 3. CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF NEW MATERIALS; 4. DEFINITION OF DESIGN COMPONENTS AND MANUFACTURING PROCESSES OF NEW MATERIALS; 5. PRODUCTION; 6. APPLICATION PLANNING. RESULTS ARE MATERIALS ELABORATED BASED ON HOUSEHOLD WASTE, EXEMPLIFIED WITH PROTOTYPES MADE OF ORGANIC HUSKS, WITH FINDINGS ASSOCIATED WITH TECHNIQUE, COMPATIBILITIES BETWEEN TYPES OF WASTE, NEW MATERIALS CHARACTERIZED IN THE LABORATORY AND APPLICATION CATALOGS. STIMULATION TO EXPLORAT

THOSE PROBLEMS AND CHALLENGES THAT CURRENTLY MAKE UP THE PLANETARY EMERGENCY SITUATION HAVE PROMPTED VARIOUS INITIATIVES TO PROMOTE AWARENESS OF THE IMPORTANCE OF SUSTAINABILITY, IN ALL AREAS. THIS INCLUDES THE POSITION OF HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS, COMMITTED TO LEARNING ETHICAL, SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL VALUES. INTEGRATING THESE CONTENTS AS A FUNDAMENTAL PART OF UNDERGRADUATE TRAINING, TO INSPIRE RESPONSIBLE BEHAVIORS, VALUES AND ACTIONS IN FUTURE PROFESSIONALS AND PREPARE THEM FOR MAKING CONSCIOUS AND INFORMED DECISIONS. IN THE CURRENT STUDY PLANS OF THE VARIOUS DISCIPLINES, SUBJECTS RELATED TO ETHICS, SUSTAINABILITY AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY HAVE BEEN INCORPORATED, WHICH AS A WHOLE ARE PROVIDING THE BASES FOR GENERATING ECOLOGICAL AWARENESS IN STUDENTS. IN CURRENT EDUCATIONAL SETTINGS AND FROM AN APPROPRIATE PEDAGOGICAL APPROACH, STUDENTS CAN PROVIDE VIABLE SOLUTIONS IN THEIR CONTEXT, ALLOWING THEM TO DEVELOP A SYSTEMIC VISION OF REALITY AND THE POSSIBILITIES OF RESPONSIBLY INFLUENCING THEIR ENVIRONMENT. TO RAISE AWARENESS FROM THE CLASSROOMS, THIS EXPERIENCE PROPOSES A MODEL OF PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICE, IN WHICH THIRD-YEAR DESIGN STUDENTS FACE SUSTAINABLE PROBLEMS, RAISING AWARENESS ABOUT THEM. FOR THIS, IT HAS BEEN PROPOSED TO PROJECT THE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF A SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING, BASED ON REUSE, THAT IS, IT IS NOT DISCARDED IMMEDIATELY, IT CAN BE USED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION, GENERATING SAVINGS FOR THE PRODUCER AND THE CONSUMER, COLLABORATING WITH THE ENVIRONMENT, AND IN MANY CASES, INCREASING THE VALUE PROPOSITION. THE OBJECT / PRODUCT TO BE PACKAGED IS CHOSEN BY THE STUDENTS ACCORDING TO THEIR TENDENCIES AND MOTIVATION. THE METHODOLOGY ADDRESSED IN THIS PROJECT FOCUSES ON THE CONCEPTS USED IN BIOMIMICRY, THROUGH WHICH STUDENTS ANALYZE AND APPLY PACKAGING SOLUTIONS, OBSERVED IN NATURE, IN THE DEFINITION OF THEIR PROBLEM. BIOMIMICRY, APPLIED IN DESIGN, STUDIES NATURE IN ITS FORM-MATERIALITY-FUNCTION BALANCE, LOOKING FOR SOLUTIONS USABLE BY MAN FOR HI

IN 2020, DUE TO THE GLOBAL PANDEMIC, A LARGE PART OF THE WORLD POPULATION WAS AFFECTED, BEING LOCKED DOWN IN THEIR HOMES, EXPERIENCING AN UNPRECEDENTED REALITY. THIS EXCEPTIONAL SITUATION, CAUSED SOCIAL TRANSFORMATIONS, ALTERING THE DAILY ENVIRONMENTS AND, OF COURSE, THE EDUCATIONAL ONE. AMONG THE MEASURES ADOPTED, THERE IS THE CLOSURE OF EDUCATIONAL CENTERS, LEAVING MILLIONS OF STUDENTS UNABLE TO ATTEND THEIR FACE-TO-FACE CLASSES. EDUCATION, LIKE OTHER SECTORS, HAS NEEDED TO ADAPT TO THIS DIZZYING CHANGE, AND ABRUPTLY IMPLEMENT A REMOTE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM SUPPORTED BY DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES FOR EFFECTIVE CONNECTIVITY. IN THIS SCENARIO, THE ABILITIES OF THE STUDENTS HAVE BEEN ADAPTING TO THESE NEW VIRTUAL CLASSROOM CONDITIONS. IN THIS WAY, ONLINE TEACHING BECOMES THE NEW EDUCATIONAL SPACE, WHERE TEACHERS AND STUDENTS MUST ARTICULATE ALL THEIR COGNITIVE, AFFECTIVE AND MOTIVATIONAL STRATEGIES TO PROMOTE SUCCESSFUL LEARNING. THIS EXPERIENCE TOOK PLACE IN THIS CONTEXT, WITH THE PARTICIPATION OF SIXTH SEMESTER DESIGN STUDENTS, IN ORDER TO ADDRESS THE THEME OF PACKAGING DESIGN FOR SMALL OBJECTS / PRODUCTS, OF THEIR INTEREST, THAT THEY COULD FIND WITHIN THEIR CONFINED ENVIRONMENT. SINCE THE CIRCUMSTANCES PREVENTED THEM FROM SEARCHING FOR A PROBLEM BASED ON THE EXPLORATION OF THE TERRAIN. THIS PACKAGING HAD TO BE INNOVATIVE AND UNIQUE, WITH THE OBJECT BEING PACKAGED HAVING ITS OWN IDENTITY, RETHINKING AND REDESIGNING THE ORIGINAL PACKAGING OF THE CHOSEN PRODUCT. THE METHODOLOGICAL APPROACH WAS OBSERVED IN THE ORIGAMI TECHNIQUE, THROUGH WHICH STUDENTS INTUITIVELY DISCOVER, WITH A PLAYFUL AND EXPLORATORY ATTITUDE, THE POSSIBILITIES OFFERED BY PAPER. THIS CREATIVE PRACTICE MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO SPECIFY THE POTENTIAL THREE-DIMENSIONAL CONFIGURATIONS, DESTINED TO THE CREATION OF A DESIGN APPROPRIATE TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF CONTAINING, PROTECTING AND DISPLAYING THE CHOSEN PRODUCT, PRESERVING ITS FEATURES AND ITS PARTICULAR IDENTITY. THE VARIABLES THAT INTERVENED IN THE DEVELOPMENT
