Within the framework of the deep environmental, economic, political, social, cultural and ideological crises, collected by different authors under the concept of civilizational crisis1, Latin America's social communities and organizations resist the accumulation regime by dispossession, characteristic of the current economic model Global2. The ecological and social deterioration that this model produces, epistemologically questions our knowledge of the world3.
In the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, the progress of the industrial agriculture model represents a serious environmental conflict4, which puts into play the sustainability of human and non -human life. Degraded wetland systems5.6 of great ecological and cultural importance7. However, local studies about this impact are scarce. The techniques used for their determination require specific knowledge and equipment generally inaccessible to communities.
We present here the preliminary analysis of a project in progress that promotes teacher training and the construction of environmental knowledge through the use of free development technologies for the realization of participatory environmental surveys in wetland areas. It worked in the Saladillo party from a participatory research methodology8 together with a teacher training and a secondary level technical school, such as deepening a previous and continuous work9. It is reflected from a pedagogical-didactic perspective about the contribution of free technologies for environmental education. Instances of environmental rationality and environmental knowledge are analyzed that contribute to the understanding and transformation of the society-environment-nature relationship10, from a dialogic process between academic and popular knowledge, which combine the practical with the theoretical through lines of thought Critic with an approach based on popular education.
