    Aplicaciones creativas con residuo de decantación
    (Murcia: Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Murcia, 2014) Sánchez Bonilla, Ma Isabel
    A partir de sedimentos minerales acumulados por decantación en depósito cerrado al que llegan aguas procedentes de galerías horizontales (minas) distribuidas por toda la Isla de Tenerife, se realiza una exhaustiva investigación multidisciplinar cuyo objetivo es analizar las posibilidades de utilización del sedimento en procedimientos artísticos diversos: escultura cerámica, vaciados con morteros o resinas, pintura al fresco, al óleo, o acrílica, dibujo de línea o aguadas, y serigrafía. Los diversos análisis y desarrollos realizados permiten afirmar que el material reúne condiciones de perdurabilidad, aplicabilidad e interés estético, abriéndose una nueva vía de investigación experimental en la que confluyen tres líneas básicas: 1. Ampliación del repertorio de recursos disponibles en el ámbito de la creación artística, 2. Reutilización de residuos, 3. Valorización de materiales naturales provenientes del entorno volcánico.

    Waste education in teacher training: exploring the role of context in shaping perceptions and didactic approaches
    (MDPI, 2025-12-12) García Fortes, María de los Ángeles; Esteve Guirao, Patricia; Baños González, Isabel; Valverde Pérez, Magdalena; Ruiz Navarro, Ana; Didáctica de las Ciencias Experimentales
    This study explores how 130 future teachers (FTs) perceive and address massive waste generation when it is framed through two socio-environmental contexts: waste export from affluent to vulnerable countries and microplastic pollution in natural environments. Using a mixed-methods design, we examine how each context shapes problem perception, attribution of responsibility, and proposed teaching activities. Both contexts foster a systemic understanding of waste issues. Economic drivers are identified as the main cause (means = 3.2/4), while institutional factors are downplayed in the export scenario and individual factors in the microplastics scenario. Proposed solutions center on institutional and economic measures. Ecological impacts are prioritized in both contexts; however, the export case elicits broader multi-sphere interpretations, whereas microplastics are viewed primarily as ecological–sanitary risks. Perceived responsibility is moderate (mean = 2.6/4) in both contexts, though waste export is interpreted more individually and microplas tics more collectively. A disengaged profile predominates, particularly for microplastics (76.92%), with most FTs showing limited intention to change personal habits. In terms of didactic design, only 20% of activities in the export context and 50% in the microplastics context are action-oriented. Findings highlight the importance of carefully selected socio-environmental contexts in teacher education to promote systemic reasoning, shared responsibility, and action-oriented learning.
